Scott E.

Private tutor in San Francisco, CA

Education

University of California at Davis: bachelors degree in international relations; minor in Linguistics

Experience

I have taught English at a university overseas. I have been teaching clients English as a foreign language in San Francisco since 2010. Do you need to learn better English? You can do it! And I can help: Pronunciation -- I teach you standard American English, to reduce your accent. Grammar -- I explain it, and improve how you speak. Expressions -- I help you learn idioms and phrasal verbs, which are important in English. I will often give you homework that you will do between lessons. This will help you learn faster. In our first meeting you can tell me what you want most to learn (conversation, reading, writing, etc.) and I can start helping you. I am a native speaker, from California. I studied linguistics at the University of California at Davis, and I have also taught ESL at a university overseas. I am fluent in Russian and German, and have studied other languages, such as Spanish, Malay, and Italian. (Я могу проводить уроки для вас и на русском языке.) Languages are fun! So I'm also a translator: I translate business documents from German and Russian into English. I usually give lessons at my home-office, at 16th Street & Guerrero Street in San Francisco. Cancellation policy: Cancel at least 24 hours in advance. $35/hour. (My standard hourly rate is for lessons at my home office; elsewhere in San Francisco, there is a additional fee of $25 per trip.)

Hobbies

I have many interests: I like to travel, and I travel now as a digital nomad. I enjoy reading and writing fiction. I am currently writing a science-fiction novel. I enjoy learning languages, and am fluent in German and Russian. I can also communicate in Italian and Spanish, though not fluently. My experience in learning languages also helps me to help you better to learn English.
