I would consult Alan on any project because his insight and experience will offer tremendous value. His commitment and continued support is also remarkable and goes well beyond the scope of a tutor. Working with Alan, you know that you have a great educator in your corner. He will offer great counsel-whether it be in filmmaking, public speaking, writing, or help with college applications.

Kathy is currently helping my son with his public speaking skills. He had a speech due in class and Kathy worked with him on tactics to deliver a great speech. My son is very difficult to understand at times and Kathy is working in general on getting him to slow down as he has a tendency to speak fast (the braces don't help!). So far, so good!!

My two kids worked with Susannah during the summer on public speaking and creative writing. Susannah has a good way to interact with kids and thus keep learning a very comforting, interesting buy yet demanding process. Susannah always prepares well coming to the class and shows great patience to guide students to achieve various milestones set up early. It's been such enjoyable experiences to work with her during the summer. Highly recommended.
