About Lindsay

Bio

Essentially, I'm an autodidactic storyteller.
Most of my students are international professionals seeking improved fluency in English, spoken and written, to advance their already mature careers. In speech I show them how strenuous it will be to overcome habits instilled by their native culture, and I drill them to produce American phonemes, as I know they are able.

Essentially, I'm an autodidactic storyteller.
Most of my students are international professionals seeking improved fluency in English, spoken and written, to advance their already mature careers. In speech I show them how strenuous it will be to overcome habits instilled by their native culture, and I drill them to produce American phonemes, as I know they are able. My most satisfied students are those whom I've helped to revise the text of their professional communications, especially for job-seeking: résumés, reference letters, & etc. Gratifyingly, students have contacted me years after I'd last heard from them, when they have an important letter that they want to be sure to word just right.
I'm also a Hollywood actor (SAG-AFTRA) specializing in cowboy characters.
I'm active in Mensa, "The High-IQ society", for which I've served as coordinator for our LA Open Forum series of talks by achievers in intellectual fields.
I'm sorry I can't help students with their mathematical homework in economics or finance.
I don't have any special capability or materials for teaching to graduate school admission tests such as GMAT, LSAT, or MCAT. All I can advise is for test-takers to read answer choices before reading the corresponding a question, and to not get bogged down where they don't subconsciously sense the correct answer; move on and come back.

Film

At UCLA I took a number of courses in film history. I still frequently attend screenings there of old, seldom-seen, classics. I know, from reading at the Motion Picture Academy Library, about many films that I haven't even seen.

Business

Finance,

Finance

Theory of Finance was the key class, in that field, at the UCLA Graduate School of Management. While I was still an undergraduate there I passed this challenging course, as well as courses in financial math and applications. I can help you to acquire these skills, by which I've earned an independent living.

Disciplined discernment of one's impressions of the available answers, along with review of the relevant math, are the skills that I emphasize. I consistently scored in the top tenth on various standardized tests.

Macroeconomics

"Economics is common sense gone hog wild," a professor of mine at UCLA told us. It's a language as well as a set of math applications. Fortunately, the math lends itself to graphical representation. Fortunately also, history and daily news are replete with examples to aid understanding of theory.

I was raised in the Midwest of the Northern Cities Dialect. Having also lived in regions of peculiar dialect, such as West Texas and Northern Michigan, I've learned to appreciate my lack of accent. Talk to to me if you seek to speak like an American. My SAT score on the verbal section was in the 96th percentile.

I emphasize the evolutionary nature of ideas expressed through human events and the significance of the individual in turning tides of popular thought. I also suggest where traditional assumptions remain in present-day politics, society, and culture. I'm particularly knowledgeable about the Cold War era.

I have to take a test in order to get a job. After reviewing the sample test I became very nervous about failing. When I met with Lindsey he gave me some good tips for getting a better score on my test. I now feel more confident about passing this test.
