"I love to help people to develop and communicate their ideas. Whatever you're trying to accomplish, it is essential to be able to effectively appreciate and convey how you are unique and what value you can offer. As an author of Valley Speak (highlighted in the Wall Street Journal, page one of the "Merc," and more), I am an expert on Silicon Valley and many of the technologies that thrive here. Whether you are held back by the English language, not sure how to effectively pitch your idea, or just want to learn how to code up your project, I can help!

I'm a native English speaker and have tutored businesspeople with other native tongues, helping them to write professional emails, reports, and presentation materials. I can help you with English for business as well.

I have a technical background in programming languages and have taught C++ to businesspeople at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. I'm an expert in functional programming. I developed a web platform for my own startup and can help you to develop one for yours.

I take a holistic view of both communication and coding—neither can be done independently of the vision being pursued. So as I help you with either one or the other of these important skills, I will guide you in refining your ideas and focusing them to the audience at hand.

Reach out to me to explore how we might work together or schedule an initial lesson. I work with students in person or online." less...
