All students can succeed!

I don't help students pass classes or tests; I teach students how to master academic skills, from writing to reading to test-taking: ESL, Grammar, Composition, Critical Thinking, Literature, Speech, SAT 1 and 2, ACT, AP, college application essays, and personal statements. I also can help professionals with career development, business writing and speaking, and technical writing and editing.

As a former college instructor, I have subject matter expertise. As a former Dean of Students, I understand how important it is to serve both students and parents. I can meet in public libraries or in student's homes.

As a proofreader, I am thorough, quick, and experienced, having been both a technical writer for NASA and an English instructor.

ESL/ESOL

I have taught grammar, composition, speech, and critical thinking for 20 years, and am comfortable working with people of different cultures. I understand the critical need many ESL/ESOL students have for skill in both conversational and formal writing, whether for academic advancement or career advancement. I work best with Asian students, but have also successfully taught students from locales as far-flung as Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and South America.

Public Speaking

I have taught speech, grammar, composition, and critical thinking for 20 years, but my first love is speech. Once could argue that the fear many have of speaking in public is perhaps the phobia that is most rewarding to overcome. Fear of public speaking can hurt relationships and careers needlessly; speech is very much a learnable skill, and "talent" or "outgoing personality" is not required to succeed.

Career Development

I have worked at for-profit colleges for 20 years and thus have worked closely with Career Development managers whose job it is to place graduates. As a former Director of Education, it was my role to reach out to potential employers and find out from them what skills they needed our graduates to possess, and to work with Career Development personnel to place students, to keep tabs on their progress as they moved up in the workforce, and to forge contacts between graduates and students.

College Counseling

I have helped many students for years with both personal statements and application essays. I was a college dean for 15 years, so I am well-qualified.
