When students work with me, they look forward to our sessions. Whether learning English as a Second language, writing, grammar, literature, public speaking, or business English - it can be fun.

I have 20+ years experience from high school through graduate school and adult learners. My work has taken me to Turkey with the State Department, teaching teens with medical obstacles, into businesses such as banks, software companies, and flower shops, acting as a Foreign Expert in China, presenting seminars for government and military groups, and introducing refugees to American culture and English. Recently, my Instructor's Manual for a top accent reduction text was published.

I edit and organize other people's writing, too: College applications, thesis work, tech documents

Each client is unique and is treated that way. I truly love what I do.

Your goals are obtainable. Step by step, with a plan.

NOTE:
I am an accent reduction specialist. Many people teach English/ESL. I will teach you how to move your mouth, what repeated errors you are making, and why (culturally and physically) these tiny mispronunciations happen - making it easier for you to understand and correct.

Writing

I am a published, professional writer. In addition, I have taught all levels and varieties of writing (technical, business, literature, thesis work, etc).

You will not only get the explanations and editing you need, but also strong examples to help you build your knowledge of rules, styles, and personal skills.

I am available to work online, too!

English

English is such a broad subject: grammar, structure, organization, spelling, writing, speaking, thinking, reading, comprehension! Whew! How can you be expected to know it all? Add to that essays, short stories, compositions, novel, and (oh no!) poetry!!

With years of experience as a high school, university, as well as adult learner experience, I will offer you tips for reaching your goals.

Literature

Sometimes people have a hard time with literature because of the style of the writing, the vocabulary, the topic/subject, the culture of the writing.

With years as a high school teacher of English as well as a college lecturer in Oral Interpretation of Literature as well as Literature for International Students, I will help you work on the areas you struggle with, give you an easy recipe for writing essays, and, with any luck, teach you to like (if not love) the material you are reading...

Proofreading

As a technical writer manger (hi tech), PR writer, story writer, and teacher of (writer doesn't work here) writing, you will get expert editing, comments, questions, and suggestions.

Not only will your paper/document/letter/presentation improve, but you will learn why the changes should be made.

I can help with MLA, APA and most other styles. I have spent 20 years teaching at the high school and university level.

Phonics

Phonics, or phonetics, is the practice of sounds. How a sound is produced. This is often, in English, not the way it is spelled - or how you THINK a word should be produced. The articulators help you shape the sound as the air escapes your mouth and nose.

Study Skills

Where do I start? How do I manage it? What is the order I should do it in. Why don't I have motivation?

These are frequent obstacles of students when they are having difficulties studying or learning. As a former high school teacher, college professor, and writer who has bumped up against many deadlines, help my clients work on figuring out the answers for THEM for the questions.

Studying has both universal and individual needs and components. I will work with you in figuring... Read More

College Counseling

College counseling involves thinking about who you are, what your goals are, and where you want to be.

My expertise in college counseling comes from years as a communications professor as well as a career in foreign exchange as a counselor (for families, schools, and students).

Often, I work with clients on their personal statements for colleges, their requests for references, as well as answering questions in application packets.

Speech

Listen! the baby said: MaMa!! Your parents were so excited! One of your first praised accomplishments is speaking...so why is it so hard to do now?

Public speaking, conversation, and pronunciation are different skills/abilities from each other and from talking.

Let me help you gain confidence in your organization, presentation, enunciation, accent - all things oral communications related.

As a professional speech coach on the national and international level,... Read More
