Leslie's Help With All Things Relating to English

Thanks for checking out my page! My experience includes twenty years of communications and English instruction at the college level and more than twenty years of broadcast experience. I have taught SAT and ACT prep classes to high school students.

I also have two published books, one a murder mystery and a picture book about the Grand Mesa. I'm working on my second murder mystery.

I retired but am finding I miss interacting with students so tutoring would be a perfect fit for me and hopefully for you! I tailor my instruction to each student, including their needs and personality, while making learning fun and challenging.

My motto: There's nothing accidental about quality.

My philosophy: Learning should be fun. If one avenue doesn't work, try a side street. As a tutor, my teaching is created especially for you.

Piano

While teaching is my job, playing and sharing the piano is my passion. I currently accompany a singing group and am a roving pianist at local churches, filling in when needed. I have taught the ability to play and the love of the piano to both children and adults.

ESL/ESOL

Teaching English as a second language requires special skills. I taught this subject for three years at a private school in Washington state. I had students from Korea, Japan, China, Russia and Mexico. Each student had different needs and skills yet I was able to bring all of them up to their grade level. It did take some students longer but I am proud of my 100% rating.

Photography

The 2nd edition of "The Grand Mesa, A Journey Worth Taking" is in stores throughout the Grand Valley. It is a photographic journey across the Grand Mesa--the world's largest flat top mountain.

I have taught many photography workshops throughout my career including "thirds", clouds, landscape and animal pictures. I prefer to work in the field.

Public Speaking

Everyone gets butterflies when speaking in front of an audience, the trick is to get those butterflies to move in formation. As a college instructor, I taught my students the "hook", the elements of writing a great speech, working with a mic verses projection, keeping your knees from knocking and other necessary skills.
