I have tutored a large community of newcomers in English with ages ranging from Kindergarten through Professional workers who have relocated. I help you set clear goals that can be reached through careful sequencing of information. I am willing to drill and repeat with you until you are comfortable with material. I bring expertise in helping people to feel relaxed with learning difficult material.

I am a credentialed teacher K-12 and have worked in San Francisco, Daly City, Pacifica, South San Francisco, & Redwood City School Districts. In addition to music I am an excellent teacher for English Language Learners and for Elementary through College students needing help with Language Arts.

I am a writer for business and creative purposes with an emphasis on lyric writing for songs and production. I recently assisted with proofreading and editing an Anthology for the California Writers Club. My letter writing gets results as I am expert at adapting material for specific audiences. My experience in public speaking is vast since I have performed as a pianist, conductor, and teacher. I am expert at dealing with "performance nerves".

I have had clients engage me for public speaking. My experience includes teaching english to Japanese businesspeople and Korean monks.

Contact me to discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals.
