English

English

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from Indiana University and a major focus of my studies required me to write essays and papers analyzing the texts we studied. In addition, I have been a professional actor for many years, and I read different forms of literature; prose, verse, plays, screenplays, so I have been exposed to all types of English language expression. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you as I help you conquer your challenges.

Public Speaking

I was a professional actor, I have an MFA in Acting. I acted in NYC, Chicago, St. Louis and Nashville. I have the ability to help people with public speaking and helping people with presentations.
Reading

Reading

The ability to read is such a basic fundamental skill, that without it one can encounter great difficulty in our society. Menus, signs, newspapers, the internet, if you can't read you are unable to participate in life. I enjoy teaching and presenting material to others and would be happy to help your student as well.
Theater

Theater

I have an MFA in Acting and was a professional actor in NYC, Chicago, Nashville and St. Louis. I have the ability to coach young students of theater to make them better actors.

Unique and energetic

Brian is very observant to English speech. He caught my weakness right on the spots and came up with solutions that uniquely applied his techniques which I believe have something to do with his acting experience. I find them quite effective and fun.
