Clear, focused help on tech writing, presentations, German, technology
Studying and traveling in Germany as a young adult in the 1980s, I learned much about life, clarity, focus, and creative approaches to problem-solving. I immersed myself by choice in the culture. For three years, I navigated daily life in Hamburg using mostly only German—and using English only to earn paychecks as a tutor. In this time, bicycle touring in Northern Germany, Poland, France, and Denmark became a passion.
To me, it’s important that spirits stay strong for lifelong learning....

Expert of presentation coaching
John helped someone in my family prepare a presentation to address important business issues and marketing information for the managers of the enterprise. Before hiring John, although all facts were gathered and organized, nervousness and uncertainty were still big issues (choice of words, how to stand, etc.). After a few sessions, there was much more clarity about the concerns and how to deliver the presentation much more effectively thanks to John’s attention to concerns and help with speech-writing, insights, and tips.

Big help with handwriting
Patient, friendly handwriting tutoring for my 9yo son, who is looking forward to his next lesson already. It's already making a big difference for him after one lesson.

Recommended tutor
John helped me gain a better understanding of one of my first assignments in an engineering class and the ideas that the professor wanted us to pull together and work through. He showed how to create a quick first draft and then refine answers later.

Tailors Lessons to Individual and Keeps it Interesting
My husband is German, so we have decided it was important for our girls (age 8 & 10) to learn German. We chose John since a) he was fluent in many languages-all with great reviews and b) he lived in Hamburg for some time and could teach not just the language, but the culture and context behind the words. After 2 months of weekly lessons, we are very pleased with the progress. Despite the age and learning style differences, John takes common content and tailors it so suit each child's pace and style. He also makes it incredibly interactive (games/songs/videos/flashcards/worksheets). The end result is that, despite all the differences with each child, they continued to be energized and familiar with the same content, at the same pace. This allows our family to discuss each lesson and practice our new words together. I assume that this takes quite of bit of effort from John, but you would not know it from how seamless the lessons go. I highly recommend John for anyone looking for high quality German lessons.

Very helpful
I asked John to help me prepare for a speech that I had to make for work. He helped me to improve my text and my delivery. He also went out of his way to provide additional materials to help me prepare. John was friendly and helpful throughout our sessions and the skills that he gave me will benefit me in the future. Thanks to John's help, my speech was a success, and I received favorable feedback.

Very Thorough
John did a great job helping our son review for the ACT. He increased our son's score considerably and it was more than enough to allow him to get into the college of his choice. Thanks again for all the hard work.
