I am a former university professor and an expert on all aspects of English and the humanities and the social sciences. I taught at the university level for about 20 years and then at a private school for 15. I have tutored at all levels - pre-school, elementary, middle school, high school, undergraduate, graduate and professional - since 2007. I help students in many subjects, and I enjoy helping all ages and levels to learn and accomplish their goals.

Steven went over my daughters high school stats, background, interests in majoring in college and advised her on the application and admission process and went over with her what works and what does not. He was honest in his opinion and my daughter is very appreciative of that. Thanks Steven!

I have learned English from Teacher Steven Fleishman for over a year on Wyzant. He is a great teacher and has profound knowledge about languages and linguistics. I recommend him to anyone who is not native to English and wants to improve his/her English. I have been in the United States for over 11 years. Although people could mostly understand what I said, I knew that my oral English had some issues. I found Steven on Wyzant with the goal to reduce my accent. In our first class, Steven diagnosed two major problems in my oral English: wrong pronunciations in some specific sounds and incorrect grammar usage. My learning with him consists of two sessions, where the first session is to reduce accent, and the second session is to improve my grammar. In the first session, Steven helped me identify my problematic sounds and make specific plans for me to correct them. He has some great tools which helped me get rid of my old pronunciation habits and build new habits. During this session, I could see my own improvements in a pretty short period of time, which greatly boosted my confidence. We finished the first session after about five months. By that time, my colleagues and my wife both told me that my pronunciation was much clearer and easier to understand than before. After the first session, we started the second session-- learning and practicing correct grammar. Steven recommended to me two great grammar textbooks. I learned all of the chapters in the two books from him and wrote essays to practice the knowledge that I learned from the books. In the beginning of the session, we could find many grammatical mistakes in my essays. After learning grammar, I now pay more attention to it when writing and speaking. Now, the number of mistakes in my essays has dropped a lot. By fixing my grammar mistakes, my oral English also has become much less confusing. Steven really tailored his courses to my specific problems and needs, which is why the whole process was efficient and effective. He has profound knowledge which can answer almost all my questions. He is also very patient and cool. In the end, I really appreciate Steven?s help, and I would like to recommend him to you if you are looking for a great English teacher.

Steven has provided valuable inputs to improve my reading strategies. I would surely refer him to my friends who are trying to score top bands in IELTS.
- Karthika L. from Fremont, CA
We did a diagnostics to figure out what I really need to be working on. He helped me understand what I need to practice more and why. Instead of jumping to the harder topics, we worked on the foundations that are needed to be able to do the harder topics.
- Elizabeth S. from Rockville, MD
Steven is very experienced in tutoring English. He quickly located my problems such as pronunciation and he knows how to fix them. He is also very knowledgeable about European history and philosophy that I have been interested in. I am so thankful to Steven for that I can study not only English but also some other subject on his class.
- Penny M. from Potomac, MD
Steven is a very good teacher. He has a good academic experience and he can speak on different topics. We passed a couple of lessons with him and he showed me the best way to improove my grammar and increase my vocabulary. He is helping me to fix my pronunciation. Steven's lessons are very valuable for me.

Steven makes you feel very comfortable and encourages you to put forth the best version of yourself academically. I just started tutoring with Steven but I know it will be great!
- Marilin B. from Silver Spring, MD
Steven helps increase my knowledge and understanding of the topic by guiding me through the learning process by asking and commenting on my understanding at the most appropriate times. His timely and unique questions help drive my learning to a much deeper level than previously reached. Spending time with Steven has proved to be very valuable to my learning process.
- Joseph F. B. from Sterling, VA
When my son started working with Steven, he wasn't able to sit for an hour without taking multiple breaks. Now he is able to sit through a 1.30 hours class with just one break. Steven is very engaging and keeps the interest and focus of the student throughout the class. He caters to my son's level and makes him learn without him feeling that he is putting extra effort. We are very happy with Steven's tutoring
- Deepa C. from Boyds, MD
Steven reviewed my college essay and he corrected my essay and he gave me ideas. He is highly experienced and excellent mentor. I am planning to take few more sessions from him. I strongly recommend him to my friends and family members.
- Sat K. from Hagerstown, MD
In one lesson Steven properly diagnosed the errors in my writing style that had gone unnoticed for 18 years. He is a very patient and understanding tutor, who I would highly recommend to anyone.
- Jeffrey H. from Chevy Chase, MD
He checked on my skills by letting me do some exercise and gave me enough time. I was not pressured. I am pretty nervous around new people because of the lack of my knowledge. He made me feel comfortable even though he highlighted my weaknesses. I got encouraged.
- Dora W. from Germantown, MD

There is nothing to mention about Steven. We will absolutely continue to have English classes with him. My son was very satisfied with what he learned from Steven. Thank you so much, again, Steven.
- GH Y. from Gaithersburg, MD
We met for about an hour and he helped me edit my essay, first grammatically, then academically. He made suggestions to edit and add to the essay, and he was very helpful. I am planning to meet with him again after I finish the 2nd draft.
