Experience
I have worked as an English tutor, an ESL instructor, and an Accent Reduction/Dialect coach for the past several years. My work as a freelance writer also aides in helping my students find their voice in their own writings, be it for a creative writing course or a college submission essay. I've had some remarkable teachers in my life. Some qualities that they all share include patience and listening. It's important for a teacher to be able to adjust to their individual student's needs. Every time a student has said "Thank you, you really helped me.", I smile at having served a purpose. I have many international students and am available for Skype Sessions.

Hobbies
I read quite a bit; always something different from what I recently finished. I bounce from biographies to contemporary literature to the occasional poetry. And I have reread 'A Christmas Carol' for the past two holiday seasons and plan on continuing this tradition. Something I do in my spare time is I produce a poetry podcast with a friend who's a composer; an homage to NYC. Each piece is about/inspired by New York in some way. I am also a huge movie buff, and am often in search of a beautiful piece of pizza.
