John W.
Private tutor in Los Angeles, CA
Education
M.A., Linguistics--Harvard University. Also attended Northeastern University (B.A.) and Emerson College, both in Boston. More recently I took a language acquisition course at CSU-Northridge. I am just about to complete UCLA's TESOL certification program.
Experience
I did some individual tutoring in Korea. I worked as an S.A.T. tutor in San Marino two years ago, at a Chinese-owned language school. Area of concentration was Critical Reading and Writing. I compiled hundreds of hours of TOEFL and S.A.T. classroom instruction in Korea. The school I worked for (S.L.I.) offered the customary array of ESL classes--reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar--but was best known for its test prep capabilities. I am now enrolled in UCLA's TESL certificate program, along with a 3-hour language acquisition class, meeting on Saturdays at CSU Northridge.
