ESL, English and speech students: learn to express yourself!

I'm committed to providing each student with the skills and knowledge needed to communicate effectively. I believe that effective self-expression is necessary for personal fulfillment, academic success and prosperity. I enjoy tailoring my lessons to the learning style of each individual student.

My background includes almost twenty years of experience teaching English, speech and theatre arts to individuals and classes of all ages. I use a myriad of educational and presentation modalities to empower my students to communicate successfully in personal, academic, professional and public settings. I hold current California teaching credentials to instruct K-12 students in general subjects, as well as, adults in ESL, English and performing arts.
