An award winning Public Speaking , ESL and Chess and Poker Coach

Joshua S.

You'll find me to probably one of the most unique and experienced tutoring options for adults and children that you will see on Wyzant. All my programs are designed for my students to be a better communicator. Whether Public Speaking, Sales Training, Business English or even Chess and Poker. Numerous reviews and testimonials available upon request.

As an accomplished public speaker (Third place in the Regionals for the 2006 World Championship of Public Speaking) and distinguished corporate trainer (numerous companies) I have been able to parlay those skill sets into a number of effective teaching scenarios for adults and children learning ESL, English, Reading, Writing, Public Speaking, History, Sales, and other relevant skills.

As a Director at one of the largest language center for over six years, and having had an ESL teaching business before, I am an accomplished ESL instructor, and am uniquely qualified to teach these subjects and more!

I am a graduate of the University of Southern California, and also the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. My background as co-founder of the American Shakespeare Company and professional actor performing in over 50 professional plays and over two dozen national commercials has been instrumental in my love of English and teaching reading, writing and speaking properly and effectively.

Many of the children, teens and young adults I have taught have gone on to college, law and medical school, and a myriad of other successful careers in their work life. I have also had tremendous success working with business people with English as a second language needs and who need to do public speaking and presentation for business. I've worked with many doctors preparing for their residency interviews, engineers who have had challenges getting promoted, and entrepreneurs who want to give talks at networking events.

I look forward to coaching YOU or your child one-on-one today!
