I specialised in tutoring English, Spanish and French for students of other languages. I was granted a Master of Arts (TESOL) at Bond University, Australia. I've had the opportunity to live and work in different countries so that I know how to attend to students all over the world. My goal is to help learners increase their motivation so they can reach spoken and written intelligibility.

English classes are offered in the teacher's home and at home. The course can be intensive (3 months), there would be two classes a day lasting 1 hour). And the 2nd option would be classes from Monday to Friday (1 hour a day), in both options the ñapa is given away (as the Colombians say 😊). The course is of pure Cuban methodology (Cuba); the land where education and health are a bastions.

Greetings, my name is Thomas from Cali, Colombia.

With over 40 years of experience teaching AP English Literature and serving as an AP Reader for the past 20 years, I offer a unique and comprehensive approach to tutoring Language Arts, Essay Writing, and Literature. I provide elite literary analysis and personalized, multi-draft mentoring to transform student essays from competent to extraordinary.

My expertise lies in close reading techniques and comprehensive, line-by-line feedback to help students master university-level reading and writing skills. Having scored over 22,000 AP Literature essays, I bring a keen eye and honest, constructive criticism to elevate analytical abilities. Students can expect vibrant discussions analyzing classical works, followed by critical, deep writing developed through my proven process.

In addition to honing writing prowess, as a librarian for 20 years, I introduce captivating literary works and teach how to find personal relevance and timely insights. I also guide the effective use of AI writing tools to further enhance essays and build independence. My goal is for all students to develop the invaluable reading and writing skills crucial for university success and beyond.

I hold a Master of Arts in Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Carolina University, a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Rhode Island, and a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Psychology from the University of Iowa. As well, I am certified to teach both English and Psychology in the United States.
