Hello, and thank you for expressing interest in being more effective and powerful with the written and spoken word!

Hello, and thank you for expressing interest in being more effective and powerful with the written and spoken word!

My name is Brian, and I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of the Arts from The College of New Jersey with a double major in English and Secondary Education. I have taught high school in both suburban and urban school districts, and I've taught a wide range of subjects within the scope of language arts, from creative writing, to college preparatory classes, to exciting electives such as Science Fiction & Fantasy and Journalism, to a variety of literature courses such as British Literature, to basic speaking and writing skills, and everything in between! I've taught and tutored one-on-one, in group environments, and in the traditional classroom as well as alternative programs.

I have an extraordinarily diverse background in theater and the arts, and I love the written and spoken word as a vehicle for self-expression and for communicating effectively. I also have over a decade of experience in personal development and leadership programs, so I can help motivate you or your student, as well as help you be a more effective speaker and presenter. I created and run a writers group that meets in central New Jersey at least once a month, and I regularly edit, proofread, review and give feedback to both aspiring and accomplished writers. I also love and am very familiar with technology!

I look forward to talking with you to find out what's important to you, so I can help you meet your goals by developing your language skills!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Jonathan! It is an honor and a pleasure working with you. I appreciate the positive feedback!

Great tutor for young student.

Brian is very kind and engaging, attributes that make him very appealing to have as a tutor for a 9 year old. He has a natural ability to connect with a young student. He is able to engage the student in conversations that make the student feel comfortable and eager to participate in. The student always looks forward to their next lesson. Brian took time to speak with us before starting lessons, so we could describe the kind of help we were looking for, for our son. He is also very flexible and prompt.
