Ruthie
Hello!
* I ONLY TEACH ADULTS* *NO 15 MINUTE LESSONS* Hello! My name is Ruthie. I am here to help you gain confidence in your ability to speak and understand English. If you want to work on your accent, vocabulary, grammar, or any other language skill -- I am here to help. My ideal students already have an intermediate level of English. I am an editor and proofreader for the US Court system, so I am an expert in written and spoken English grammar. I love to learn about new cultures and meet new people. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about you.
I love to read! My favorite author is Jose Saramago. I enjoy riding my bicycle, going for walks in nature, and making drawings of plants, animals, and insects. I have a special interest in biology and the natural world. I also love to travel. I have been to nine different countries, and I hope to go to many more. I love pop culture and social media. Schedule a lesson with me if you like to talk about celebrity gossip, movies, TV shows or anything about American pop culture. I work in the US Court system, so I also enjoy respectful discussions about current events and philosophy.

Teaching Style
My teaching style is based on having friendly conversations with students based on their English language level, and letting them talk about the things they find interesting. I know what it is like to try to learn a new language. I respect the courage and effort of my students when they try something new or make mistakes. I adapt my lessons to each student's learning style and language level. I provide supportive and constructive feedback on any mistakes, and I maintain high standards for all my students. Through our lessons you will learn about American culture and the nuances of the English language that people speak in their everyday lives at work and at home. I want to help every student to reach their goals. My goal is for all my students to become confident and sophisticated English speakers.
