English Writing Lessons

Why Choose Our English Writing Lessons?

Do you want to be a better writer? 

Yes! We are all writers

We do not all write books – but we all write emails!  Are your emails clear and effective?  Are your reports at work clear and effective?  Are your essays (for applications or grants) successful? Is letter writing difficult for you?  Are you worried when you must write a note to your child’s teacher at school? 

Don’t forget your text messages on your phone!  That also is writing!

Does your writing express your thoughts and ideas?  Does it achieve the results you want? 

In my 23 years as Senior Staff Editor at The New York Times, I worked with some of the finest writers in the world.  The quality of writing and editing at The New York Times is the highest in the English-speaking world.  In your personalized Online English Writing Lessons, you will receive the full benefit of that priceless experience.

Being an editor is different from being a writer.  The job of an editor is to make someone else a better writer.  That is what I will do for you in your personalized Online English Writing Lessons. 

My students become better writers in their own languages as well – not only in English!

 

COURSE LEVELS AND STRUCTURE

Our “textbook” in your personalized English Writing Lessons is, of course, your own writing. 

We will examine and improve your writing on two levels.  First, there is the English itself.  Are you making grammar mistakes?  Writing shows your level of English grammar very clearly.  Writing is a good way to see your grammatical problems and explain things you do not understand.  How is your vocabulary?  Do you understand the meaning of the words you are using?  That are the differences between two words that seem to mean the “same” thing.  (The great American writer Mark Twain used to say – humorously, but truly:  “If it meant the same thing, they wouldn’t have two words for it!”) 

Then we examine your ideas.  Are they clear?  Are they in the correct order?  Is your writing interesting?  Are you saying everything you want to say? How are your transitions between ideas?  Does the whole piece of writing flow smoothly? 

This writing instruction – to New York Times standards of excellence – will make you a better writer in your own language as well.  All of my writing students say that! 

Become a confident and effective writer in English.  Make your writing something you can be proud of.

Essay and Report Writing

Many students in my English Writing Lessons are writing essays.  These essays can be for school or college or graduate school applicationsOther essays are for grant or job applications.  The English Writing Lessons at LearnEnglish-NY include this kind of writing. 

Most professionals need to write reports – long and short.  Those will also improve in our English Writing Lessons. 

The basic rules of good writing are the same for anything you write.  In our English Writing Lessons, you will learn these rules from an expert.  In all of our Online English Lessons at LearnEnglish-NY, you are the textbook!  Our classes and courses are individually designed just for you.

Practice and Feedback

Some students come to our English Writing Lessons to improve a specific piece of writing.  Others come to learn the basics of good English writing. 

If you have a piece of writing that needs help, we will work on that.  If you do not, I will give you exercises that will teach you the fundamentals of good English writing.  If you are preparing for an exam, we will use the same time limits that you will have on the test. 

Whatever you need, we will teach it!  You will become a better writer – in English and in your own language as well!

WORLD EXPERT ESL TUTOR

Study with a Yale University graduate who was an editor at The New York Times for 23 years. 

I have more than 20 years of experience teaching English on all levels. 

With my long experience, I am a world expert in English writing.  I am also a world expert in how to make the beautiful English language simple, easy to learn, and fun! 

I started teaching many years ago in Taiwan – with private students, high school classes, and elite government officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Diplomatic Training College. 

Today, my students are from all ages, all levels and all nationalities.  Clients include business executives, medical professionals, diplomats, academics, lawyers, sales people, artists, actors and filmmakers. 

Are you an ex-pat?  I work with entire families and help each member enjoy and succeed in their lives in the English-speaking world. 

I have studied 12 languages to various levels.  (Maybe one of those languages is yours!) 

I know how to get quick, lasting results.  I learned that as a newspaper journalist (The Sunday Telegraph in London in addition to The New York Times). 

I don’t just teach English – I teach YOU!  Lessons are individually designed for you alone. 

In your Free First Meeting, I listen to your English (or read your writing), and I “diagnose” your language level and problems.  You tell me your goals in the language.  Then together we make a plan for study. 

Do you want better English?  Here it is!  I’m ready!
