About Me
[use coupon artfall24 to get 10% off a package] Hi, my name's Art, I started teaching ESL 39 years ago in Salamanca Spain, then continued part-time while also teaching Spanish as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University where I received an M.A. in Hispanic Literature in 1988. I left another career about 13 years ago when my Venezuelan wife and I moved back to her home country, and there I also happily returned to my first career of teaching ESL. I began teaching a course at the university level at the Universidad Arturo Michelena, but then realized I felt called to tutoring one student at a time. Many of my students were/are preparing for TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge, NATO, or Trinity exams etc., so I have experience helping there. In addition I have helped some students preparing to take the test to become a U.S. citizen. I did 3 modules with the ICAL TEFL institute based in London towards certification in TEFL. The rest of their course dealt with classroom, small group, and pairs work, things that are not relevant to one on one tutoring. If you want to know my qualifications, I suggest reading the comments of my students. They are the best judges of tutor quality. If you need help with exam preparation, CV editing, job interviews, pronunciation, presentations, conversation, grammar,--or even the exam to become a US citizen, etc. I'd be glad to help. Best of luck to you in your English studies, and remember never get discouraged! The key is hard work, lots of patience and determination. Cheers!
