I hold a B.A. in English (summa cum laude), an M.A. in Communication (with distinction), and a J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. My academic training has given me advanced expertise in reading comprehension, writing, critical thinking, public speaking, and analytical reasoning.

I have over a decade of teaching and coaching experience in both 4 year college and community college settings, having served as an Adjunct Professor at Fresno City College, Lead Graduate Teaching Associate at California State University, Fresno, and Assistant Director of Debate. I have taught courses in public speaking, debate, communication, and writing to diverse student populations, ranging from middle school to adult learners. My teaching has included traditional classroom instruction, one-on-one academic coaching, and small group workshops.

My tutoring approach combines clear, structured instruction with individualized support. I assess each student’s needs, identify their strengths, and break down complex topics into manageable steps. I emphasize active learning—through guided practice, feedback, and real-world application—so students not only understand the material but can apply it confidently. Over the years, I have worked successfully with students from varied educational backgrounds, including English language learners, students preparing for standardized exams, and those developing professional communication skills.

Debate

Debate

I have over a decade of experience coaching competitive debate and teaching argumentation at the college level. I have served as Assistant Director of Debate at California State University, Fresno, and Chabot College, and have coached with the Urban Debate League, working with students from middle school through high school. My experience includes training students in research, case construction, persuasive delivery, and cross-examination strategy, as well as teaching college-level argumentation and public speaking courses. I adapt my coaching to each student’s needs, building their critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and confident speaking skills for success in competition and beyond.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have extensive experience teaching public speaking at the college level and coaching students of all ages to become confident, persuasive communicators. I have taught public speaking at California State University, Fresno, and Chabot College, and have also coached with the Urban Debate League, working with students from middle school through high school. My instruction covers speech organization, delivery, audience engagement, and overcoming communication anxiety, tailored to each student’s goals and strengths. I focus on building confidence, clarity, and impact so students can speak effectively in academic, professional, and competitive settings.
