Tutoring Services and Experience
My name is Derek, and I am a knowledgeable and patient full-time Professional English Tutor and ESL Tutor. I understand my student's struggles to score high marks. To strengthen my student's writing, I teach them how to form grammatically correct sentences and well-developed paragraphs. Then, I show them how to apply these skills to their own writing. Besides clear writing , I also teach listening, reading and speaking improvement.

My background also includes being a successful UBC Writing Coach, a respected ESL classroom instructor in Canada and a children's English teacher in Asia. Being a dedicated and patient teacher has resulted in most of my present and past students improving quickly.


FAST SYSTEM

My easy-to-follow interactive English tutoring method is called the FAST (Fundamental Academic Skills Tutoring) System. Through the system's individualized curriculums, my student's weaknesses in reading and writing are pinpointed, then built upon to make them strengths. To add, each lesson is carefully planned so that tutoring time is not wasted. FAST System materials are included with lessons.

* THE FAST SYSTEM IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY MANY BC ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS.
