I’m a professional educator with over a decade of experience helping students improve their writing, sharpen their public speaking, and gain confidence in English. I hold a Master of Divinity and a Bachelor’s in Social Work, and I’ve taught public speaking and general communications at the college level as an adjunct instructor. I also have extensive experience tutoring students in writing, grammar, and ESL—working with everyone from middle schoolers to adults.

My approach is student-centered, practical, and encouraging. I begin by identifying your specific goals, then tailor our sessions to build the skills you need—whether that’s writing stronger essays, preparing an effective presentation, or improving grammar and fluency. For ESL students, I focus on real-world vocabulary, conversational confidence, and grammar support that aligns with your personal and professional needs. For writing students, we work together to build clarity, structure, and voice. And for public speaking, I help you find confidence through preparation, feedback, and practical techniques.

I’ve worked in both classroom and one-on-one settings, and I understand how to meet students where they are. My goal is to help you feel empowered and equipped—not just to pass a class or deliver a speech, but to grow as a communicator. I look forward to helping you write better, speak stronger, and think deeper.

Bible Studies

Bible Studies

As an Episcopal priest with a Master of Divinity, I bring over a decade of experience teaching Bible studies in both classroom and small-group settings. I specialize in making scripture accessible, context-rich, and meaningful for learners of all backgrounds. My approach blends historical insight, literary understanding, and spiritual reflection. Whether you're studying for academic, personal, or faith-based reasons, I’ll help you explore the Bible with depth and clarity.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I’ve worked with English language learners in both academic and community settings, including leading ESL-focused outreach with Spanish-speaking neighbors and adult learners. My teaching style is patient, practical, and conversation-based, focused on helping students build real-world vocabulary, confidence, and fluency. Whether you're new to English or refining grammar and pronunciation, I’ll help you grow your skills in a way that feels natural, supportive, and engaging. All levels welcome!
Grammar

Grammar

I’ve spent over a decade helping students refine their grammar for stronger, more precise communication—whether in essays, professional writing, or everyday correspondence. As a former college communications instructor and Episcopal priest who edits sermons and community materials, I’m intimately familiar with the rules and nuances of English grammar. My approach is hands-on and student-centered: we’ll identify common errors, practice targeted exercises, and apply lessons directly to your writing projects. Whether you’re aiming to improve academic papers, polish emails, or just gain confidence in your writing, I’ll tailor each session to your goals and learning style, ensuring you understand the “why” behind every rule.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I bring a unique blend of professional, pastoral, and academic experience to interview preparation. As a former social worker, I coached youth and adults in job readiness, including resume review and interview skills. Later, I taught public speaking at the college level and now serve as an Episcopal priest, regularly mentoring individuals preparing for leadership, scholarship, and professional opportunities. My coaching is supportive, personalized, and focused on helping you speak with clarity, confidence, and authenticity—whether you're preparing for your first job or your next big step.
Proofreading

Proofreading

With years of experience editing sermons, essays, speeches, and academic materials, I bring a keen eye for clarity, grammar, and flow. I’ve taught writing and communications at the college level and regularly coach students and professionals in polishing their work for publication, presentation, or submission. Whether you're refining a college paper, preparing a resume, or submitting a speech or application, I’ll help ensure your writing is clean, consistent, and compelling. My proofreading approach goes beyond surface corrections—I focus on tone, clarity, and structure, so your writing says exactly what you mean. I’m warm, thorough, and responsive to your goals.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

With years of experience teaching college-level public speaking and preaching weekly as an Episcopal priest, I help students build confidence, clarity, and presence. My approach is both practical and encouraging, focusing on structure, delivery, audience engagement, and managing nerves. Whether you're preparing for a classroom presentation, a professional talk, or a personal speech (like a wedding toast or eulogy), I’ll help you speak with authenticity and impact.
Religion

Religion

I hold a Master of Divinity and serve as an Episcopal priest with over a decade of experience teaching religion in both academic and community settings. I’ve worked with students studying world religions, Christianity, ethics, and theology—from middle school through college and adult learners. My approach is respectful, intellectually grounded, and engaging. Whether you're preparing for an exam, exploring big questions, or writing a paper, I’ll help you think critically and understand religion in context.
Writing

Writing

I bring over a decade of experience helping students grow as writers—whether they’re crafting essays, personal statements, speeches, or creative pieces. I’ve taught college-level writing and communications and regularly coach students of all ages on structure, clarity, voice, and purpose. I also write and edit extensively in my role as an Episcopal priest, preparing sermons, newsletters, and community resources every week. My sessions are practical, encouraging, and tailored to your goals. Whether you're staring at a blank page or refining a final draft, I’ll help you organize your ideas, strengthen your grammar, and express yourself with confidence. From high school assignments to graduate-level writing and beyond, I’m here to support your growth.

Very helpful lesson

AJ brought up a lot of tips/tricks/advice that I think will be very helpful in managing my anxiety in meetings and presentations. Over all it was a very good start and hoping to learn a lot more in future lessons.
