I’m here to improve your English. Choose me for your English tutor if you can already speak or write in English but you want to take your English to the next level. As a native English speaker, English is my first and strongest language. I was raised and educated in the United States. I was born in New York and have lived on the east and west coasts in major metropolitan areas. While completing my bachelor’s degree in computer science, I was a teacher’s assistant and I studied linguistics. In 2007, I completed my MBA, which included being a teacher’s assistant for public speaking class. During graduate work and my professional software development career, I have made many presentations in English to students, coworkers, customers, and executives, both in person and online. I understand the difficulties of learning and mastering a new language. For example, English presents many difficulties to non-native & native speakers alike, including: its extensive vocabulary, difficult spelling, unintuitive pronunciation, numerous homonyms & homographs, many word contractions, unfamiliar articles, highly irregular verbs, specialized vocabularies, and many colloquialisms, not to mention difficult to pronounce words like that. The list goes on and on! Typically, a trial lesson will start with a phone conversation to assess your English ability. I’ll offer some tips and discuss lesson plans. In subsequent lessons, I can help you by conversing in real-time, identifying errors, and suggesting improvements & accent reductions. I can improve your English knowledge the most, however, by reviewing your carefully written English and making corrections & improvements with detailed explanations. Lastly, I can provide proofreading services. So, again, if you already speak or write in English, but you’re looking to improve your English skills, I am the tutor for you Please contact me with any questions. Thank you.

    The figure of speech "lock, stock, and barrel" means everything. The mother means that she *completely* shipped away her son.

    You are making a small error that is called an illogical comparison. It would be fixed this way: "I value my freedom more than anything ELSE." "I value my freedom above ALL ELSE." "I value my freedom above all OTHER THINGS."

    I would not put a comma before "then". Both are correct, but I would go with "So we'd have nothing to worry about." since it avoids the ambiguity of "then", which could be a reference to a specific time.

    A "quiz" is an informal test or examination (exam), which might occur at the end of a lesson. I am not sure what else you would call this "quiz", which determines whether you can move to the next level.

    Compared to the automobile, the bicycle is a superior form of transportation. For starters, bicycles are less expensive to buy and maintain than cars. No gas is required! Also, riding a bicycle is more satisfying on a personal level because the rider is part of nature and enjoys the scenery. And bicycle riding is healthier because of the exercise it entails and the pollution it prevents.

    It means that you define what you want (your "preferences") ahead of time which causes you to be shown a smaller number of possibilities ("narrowing down your search"). Having fewer possibilities to select from makes it easier to find what you want.

    Although "don't" could be a mistake on the part of the writer, it is just as likely that the writer is deliberately writing the dialog so that the person appears uneducated.

    Such long writing is best submitted in the Notebook area of the website. I've made several corrections: Dear Mr. Hopkins: I am writing this letter in regard to the termination of my contract as a software engineer in the IT department. According to the employment contract requirements, I must notify you 28 days prior to my leaving. Today is the first of March and I will terminate the contract on the 29th of March. I would like to say that I am fully satisfied with the company, but I had to make this decision due to personal reasons. My parents have a business in Madagascar in the hospitality field. Actually, they opened a hotel and restaurant. The business is doing extremely well but there are not enough hands to run it. They asked me to come and help with the restaurant. I do not want to lose my IT skills because I really like performing such work. I hope that I can find a part-time or remote job. I would really appreciate it if you could advise me whether the company has such positions. Yours sincerely, Denis
