About Me

My favorite class in school was English. But boy was it a crazy maker seeing all those red marks where I was supposed to express something a little differently. I remember thinking how I would be when I was old enough. No red marks for this graduate. Communicating is so important we rarely get a second chance to make a great first impression! So that's where I might come in. I can help you make that all important first impression with flawless papers, proposals or speeches. I don't just tutor grammar but also how to sound genuine and how to keep listeners/readers interested when they have 14 other things they would rather be doing. I have been practicing up on this stuff for most of my life. My dad was a good writer, got many articles published in "The Lion" (Lions Club journal) and I inherited his interest and sense of importance around this fundamental life skill. So please let me help out if you ever need some mentoring. I use humor, lightness and basic enjoyment of people as my primary mentoring "tools". I found it works best to not "play school" but to just hang out and work on what we're already pretty good at and then take it from there. You will be glad you chose me to help out. I am convinced ;=)
