My series of free Songs & Lyrics classes will reappear sometime….
These fun classes provide opportunities to practice English listening, reading, writing, and conversational skills.
Sessions are held every other week here on eduFire. Please check the schedule on the Classes page for the next session. (None currently listed. Please check back.)
I am hopeful that I will have time to offer my English writing skills classes before end of 2009.

I teach classes and tutor individuals online as well as in-person at local universities and secondary schools.
I enjoy working with both English language learners and native English speakers.
My tutoring and coaching work with students mostly involves helping with academic writing, essay-exam writing, exam preparation, public speaking, presentations, thesis development, research methods, formatting papers, editing and proofreading papers, citation styles, and publication styles.
I’m an editor, a published author, and a native speaker of English.
Other languages: French, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, and Latin. (I’m not fluent in them all!)
I’ve had fun studying Japanese on eduFire. n_n

Should this testimonial say something like we laughed so hard sometimes that my stomach hurt? Or am I going talk more along the lines of how great DJ is? Which is more important to this tutoring audience? To me, both are!!
I couldn't have gotten through writing papers and exam essays without DJ's skill, advice, and sense of humor. I couldn't have gotten 'A' grades, or even passed some (all) of my science papers. It was a tutoring experience that helped me achieve more, that's for sure. But it also changed the way I see myself as a student and as a professional entering a new field.
I finished my study program and am working now. I'll probably start an advanced program in the next year. It's great to know that I have DJ's promise to tutor me in person. Since I like eduFire, it would make it easier if we could also work online!
