Mature students (19+), ESL (English is the first language)

Reasons for tutoring  

​

  • College/University support with projects and assignments

  • Proofreading post-secondary projects or work documents 

  • English skillsets could use improvement (reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, other) 

  • Test preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, and others)​

​

My approach to tutoring/consulting/proofreading

​​

  • Mature students often know what they need and are less easily steered towards my preferred approaches. I may believe that a student writing an essay would benefit from basic grammar classes, but if the student wants proofreading, I stick to proofreading. I try to make sure my clients get what they need out of our meetings, and I try to provide information to them that may be useful as we go through the process. 

  • For mature students that are looking for language test preparation or those who simply want to improve their general English skills, my approach is similar to that used with ESL students of younger ages. See here.
