Business
Whether in theory (in a classroom) or in the real world situations (as a business owner), Business Management/Operations can be challenging. I am confident that I will be able to capably assist you in honing your skills in either setting
as I am well experienced both academically (master's degree major in administration/ management) and practically (as both an entrepreneur and a small business coach/consultant).
English
The English language is assuredly one of the most complex languages to learn and apply...even for native speakers!
From its extensive grammar rules to its multiple definition vocabulary words to its complex spellings to its illogical pronunciations to its strange idioms and various "exceptions to the rules"...it seems amazing that anyone can learn English, right? Well, despite all of that, you can successfully learn, improve and even master English with my services! I utilize my own expertise in all aspects of English (conversation, public speaking, grammar, reading comprehension, writing) in a tutoring method that is customized to your needs, effective, engaging, practical and relatively painless! Contact me today to begin your journey towards English language mastery!
Grammar
GRAMMAR is basically the "set of rules" governing how the English Language is used, verbally or in writing. Because there are quite a number of these "rules", English grammar can be tricky for both native and non-native speakers alike.
I specialize in all aspects of the English Language, and I am able to help you successfully learn, understand and apply these grammar rules appropriately. My methods are fun, fast and pain-free!
Public Speaking
Public Speaking is one of my passions! While some studies have shown that fear of public speaking ranks highly among our greatest fears, it is one of the most importantly valued skills that an individual can possess...it is, therefore, one of my favorite tutoring subjects!
I am an independent professional communicator, experienced as a speaker, presenter, host/MC and moderator. (One of my most cherished achievements was being selected as Commencement Speaker for Kaiser Career College.) I can assist students in overcoming stage fright; gaining confidence; developing a more powerful presence; honing their speaking skills - and in creating effective speeches/presentations that inspire, inform, entertain or positively influence their audience. Contact me today to begin learning how to better "Deliver Your Message"! (And have fun doing it!)
Reading
Reading Comprehension is very often indicated as a "weaker area" for many students. There are several factors about reading comprehension that add to its complexity: vocabulary and word choice, sentence structure, sentence and paragraph length, and the student's ability to "decode" and understand concepts and make relevant connections. In my services, I address each of these factors in a coherent instruction, involving the student in an "active" process of reading in order to develop fundamental strategic comprehension abilities. Best of all, my methods are engaging and motivational!
SAT Reading
The SAT Test Critical Reading and Writing sections are two of my specialization areas. My knowledge and proficiency with the test itself was proven in late 2010 when I personally took the SAT Exam at Huntington Learning Center and scored 800 (with no omissions) in both of these areas. I have tutored these subjects for several years and over that time, have developed my own methodologies for instruction that have proven time and time again to be strategy based, easily understood/applied and highly effective. My personal style is engaging, motivating and results focused. Contact me today as your "best choice" for SAT Test Prep!

Writing
I have a true penchant for writing and a gift for helping others improve their writing skills! I am not only a published author of two non-fiction books and an extensive collection of poetry, but I have also been a by-line writer for various newspapers, newsletters and professional journals. I have served as an editor and proof-reader, and I specialize in writing skill improvement for pre-college and pre-employment test preparation.
