Cultivating Confidence in Language, Writing & Public Speaking

Deborah D.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Deborah helped me immensely in preparing for an important presentation. Our sessions covered a wide range of skills - public speaking, building confidence, improving my writing to be more impactful, and effectively communicating big ideas more concisely. Deborah was very supportive in her guidance. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt prepared and confident for the presentation. I felt she was genuinely invested in my success. I learned so much during the process of working with Deborah. I cannot recommend her enough as a tutor.

Kara, Thank you for the opportunity to help you when you were on a tight deadline--we dived in and you were coachable and I want you to remember what you are capable of! I'm glad my guidance helped streamline what you needed to say in writing and for your presentation. I'm here when you need it--and love working with learners like yourself. You showed up 100% from the start and thanks for trusting my suggestions. May you look for more opportunities to practice those skills you've gained.

Professional & Thorough

UPDATE: My daughter had her speech over the weekend, in front of 400+ people, notables, big donors, leaders in the community. It was her first time public speaking and she did better than many of the paid adult speakers! I had many people coming up after commenting on how 'concise & impactful' her speech was, the keynote speaker even looked for my daughter after to congratulate and connect with her. Deborah is a gem! She got her speech down to 1-2 minutes of pure impact, she didn't even need her notecards. TY Deborah! My daughter, 14, had just one public speaking lesson and she got more skills, tips, and coaching in one hour than the 4 hours she gets every week in her public speaking class! She has to give a 2 minute speech in front of hundreds and needed help on her speech and how to battle the nerves. Deborah is amazing, worked with her on writing a compelling speech and gave her concrete skills to giving a confident, well-spoken speech. We will definitely go back to her for more practice!

Amazing Tutor!

Deborah taught me how to confidently make a presentation in front of a nervous group. Her coaching was very helpful. She taught me how to organize my presentation, including the starting and ending points, as well as sense of humor. so, she pinpointed my weaknesses and provided practical solutions to fix my mistakes and errors.

Irina, thank you for showing up each and every time ready to engage, explore, and trust the co-created process that occurs when we dialogue. The progress you make is because of the commitment you have to your language goals and your follow through on my suggested action items. Recognizing that integrating learning takes time, practice and coming to the next session ready to review and move into new territory--your awareness of this shows in how you take on the challenges. It is an honor to support you.
