I have had the privilege of working with clients and students K-12, in college, and working adults in a classroom setting, or one-on-one consulting throughout California, Missouri, New York, and Connecticut. My 30 years expertise includes reading, language arts, writing, study skills, ESL, and test prep skills. I am certified in the Barton Method--a well-known phonics program for students with dyslexia, ADHD, and reading difficulty--that has been demonstrated to bring students improve reading skills and build confidence. I also work with businesses, coaching individuals in a business setting with report writing and presentations, as well as with individuals on creative writing projects from concept to completed manuscript. I am the owner of LKB Associates and Bright Future Tutors and More.

My undergraduate degree is in journalism; my masters degree is in education; and I have a Ph.D. in administration from the University of Delaware.

No matter at what level we begin, the assignment, or project, through building esteem, it is rewarding to watch a reticent student evolve to a confident, enthusiastic learner and adults reach their potential as effective communicators and fulfill creative goals.
