Simply put, control of language is the key to success in almost any field or subject. My specialties are writing/essay instruction, public speaking/debate, literature and non-fiction reading, vocabulary improvement, and test-taking strategies. Never have I tutored a pupil who has not improved a great deal! I am personally invested in my students' successes.

Although I am obsessed with language and literature, I am also an artist who paints with oils primarily, as well as a musician who plays guitar .
