My specialties include: Business English; career advancement, reading comprehension; writing; vocabulary; grammar; presentations and proposals; travel preparation; social interaction; and casual conversation. What makes my classes special? I am a seasoned writer, and a published poet with the ability to put a jingle, rhyme, rhythm, or tune to common grammar rules. Jingles are great for memory and retention. This is a proven technique in marketing and advertising that works just as well with English learners. I believe the gift of communication empowers us to effectively exchange ideas, thoughts, feelings and so much more. While I am delighted to bring this gift to individuals around the world, it is the gift I receive from my students that brings the most joy. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom.
