About Ron
Over the course of my career, I was a writer-editor for a lot at entertainment titles, so I enjoyed interviewing celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Gloria Estefan, tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams, Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi, Shania Twain, and many others. NYC is a great hub for all of its live shows, Broadway musicals and concerts — all of which I really enjoy. Some other passions of mine include pets (cats and dogs) and animals of all kinds, playing tennis, running, comedy, international music, and cooking.
Because of my schooling and work, I’ve always enjoyed exploring and playing with language — one of the reasons I decided to get my TEFL/TESOL certification.
Throughout the years, I’ve worked with young people at summer camps, volunteered with older children and even senior citizens, so I’m confident I’ll be able to help students of all ages. As a lifelong learner of Italian, I understand the challenges and frustrations that come with absorbing a new language. I’ve even recently begun studying Maltese, which has been incredibly humbling as it’s so different from English in both its sounds and characters.

My name is Ron, and I’m based in the United States in the New York City metropolitan area. I worked and lived in Manhattan for the better part of my adult career and life, having graduated from New York University with a degree in magazine journalism.
I know it helps in my own language learning (Italian and Maltese) to keep things fun, so that’s how I’ll approach any lessons I have with you. Silly tongue twisters can help your pronunciation, for example, and jokes, games and role-playing conversations will keep you engaged and motivated. The bonus? You’ll be improving your English every step of the way! Plus, once I get to know you and learn what most motivates you, I’ll be sure to tailor future lessons to your strengths and interests in order to get the most out of our time together. We’ll be an unstoppable team!
I am TEFL/TESOL certified, so I can structure lessons accordingly. My writing and editing style has always had a conversational style, so I’m excited to help you with not only your speaking, but your writing/schoolwork as well (if that’s something you want to improve).
Lessons can be between 30-45 minutes, and I can gear to all ages/levels and work with you to create a goal-oriented course or series of lessons. We can focus on speaking, writing, reading, or all of the above. Any questions, please ask!
