"Students don't often get the language arts foundation and skills they need to advance in other subjects, including math and sciences and foreign languages and I am available and very experienced in working with my clients to build this foundation.

My subjects are far-ranging — from phonics reading skills, mastery of grammar, writing five paragraph essay, public speaking, theses for advanced degrees, to the visual arts including drawing, painting, and theatre. My experience includes teaching and tutoring grades K-12, six college courses at two University of California campuses, and art history and archaeology tours based in Florence, Italy.

I have proofread a series of books for children and young adults and contributed to preparing published phonics and literature curricula which I highly recommend.

I have written extensively on education policy issues from preschool through graduate school, and I helped run a national advisory center of information for parents who are considering home educating their children.

I can help college and high school students learn successful essay writing methods and study skills, prepare research papers, discuss books, prepare for standardized exams and prepare for public speaking and debate.

My BA, MA and PhD studies include education, literature, art, history, archaeology, history of science, anthropology, film studies and several foreign languages. Having lived in Italy I understand the trials of English as a second language and I very much welcome persons learning English and ESL students. I have lived all over our beautiful country, from east coast farming towns and cities of Miami and Washington, D.C. —to center towns of Chicago, Louisville, and St Louis — to east coast cities of Malibu and Santa Barbara and I presently reside in Naples, Florida and my goal for my clients is to make learning enjoyable :)
