I fully engage my students and rely on their input into my lessons. My students feel like a million bucks after all my sessions because they increase their self-esteem and confidence. They learn and apply many short cuts (learning strategies) to make their learning easy, enjoyable, and fun!
My teaching style is based around two philosophies: practice and growth. I always encourage practising skills as much as possible in various forms. Additionally, in the case of English, I focus on growth, and eventually developing great ideas to use in writing.

English tutoring FAQ
What does an online English tutor help with?
An English teacher can help with reading comprehension, essay planning and paragraph structure, grammar, literary analysis, and revising the assignments set in the student's own course.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Rates vary by teacher and are shown on each teacher's card and profile.
Are Genie English teachers certified teachers?
Teachers display their teaching certifications on their profiles, so families can review the credentials shown for each teacher before choosing.
Which English courses and grades do you cover?
Teachers cover elementary English through Grade 12, including Ontario's de-streamed Grade 9 course (ENL1W), Grade 10 English (ENG2D, ENG2P), and the Grade 11 and 12 courses (ENG3U, ENG3C, ENG4U, ENG4C). Each teacher profile lists the grades that teacher covers.
Can an English teacher help with essay writing?

How is a certified teacher different from a regular English tutor?
A certified teacher is trained to teach a curriculum and assess it, not only to read and write well. Each Genie profile lists the teaching certifications that teacher has on file, so families can compare credentials before choosing.
