👩‍🏫 About Teacher Renee 🎓 M.A. in Linguistics, National Tsing Hua University 🌟 English Teacher at a High School in New Jersey 🍎 Former ESL Teacher for Children in New Jersey 📚 Over 5 Years of English Tutoring Experience Hello! I’m Renee, your English teacher. Many students struggle with grammar, reading comprehension, and writing naturally. I believe learning English shouldn’t be about memorizing rules, but about learning how to think in English. With my background in linguistics, I can clearly explain English sentence structures and help students understand why the language works the way it does — turning grammar from something boring into a fun decoding tool for real understanding. In my classes, students will: ✨ Master grammar with ease and build natural language intuition 🔍 Strengthen reading comprehension and identify key ideas efficiently 🖋️ Improve writing skills to express ideas clearly and naturally 🌈 Together, we’ll transform English from a “difficult subject” into a “useful life skill.” 🎯 Who Are My Classes For? 👧🧑 Ages 4–18 My courses are perfect for students who want to improve grammar, reading, and writing skills. Whether you’re beginning your English journey, strengthening your foundation, advancing in middle or high school, or preparing for study abroad or English proficiency exams, each class is tailored to your level and learning goals.
