English Language Test Preparation (IELTS, TOEFL). As a former IELTS examiner and trainer, I'm happy to help you get stronger in your English language skills to succeed on the exam.
​
The only way to prepare for these elements is to understand what may expected of you and building strong foundations in the necessary skills. With applications, crafting personal statements is critical, and with language proficiency testing, the activities will balance between getting stronger in English while also building strategies to tackle the exams. ​​​
"I’m currently a junior studying Aerospace Engineering at Embry Riddle University and work part time as a writing tutor. Throughout almost all of my education, the help I’ve received from Tanja for essays, applications, and writing practices in general has been nothing short of phenomenal. In addition, with some coaching help, I was able to land an internship last summer at a well-known aeronautics company. But becoming a writing tutor is what surprises me. It’s funny; you know someone is good at what they do when they take someone who hates something and turns them into a passionate teacher of it. Writing and language used to be something that I never enjoyed, but through various pieces of literature that I learned to love and analyze with Tanja’s help, it began slowly unveiling a deep interest I never knew was there. The elegance of understanding what you write and editing your work when seeing someone else walk you through that process makes you really want to understand it yourself." Tim
"Last year, my niece was stuck trying to do her early decision university applications. Tanja not only helped her figure out why she was struggling, but helped her to decide the topic and how to write her statement of purpose. She ended up getting into all her top choices, and decided to go to Yale. We're all immensely proud of her and thank Tanja for all her help in the process."- Sonia
"We contacted Tanja through a friend to work with our 6th grade son. He's in a middle school in South Korea, but we are hoping to send him to the US for high school. Tanja has been working with him to prepare his English for US study through literature, writing and speaking. She also helped to prepare him for school application interviews. We've enjoyed working with her and our son really enjoys his Zoom classes across the ocean." Paul and Betty, S. Korea
