"Looking for that experienced professional to help your child achieve his/her potential? Searching for someone in the top two percent of test scores in the country? I am a retired attorney with over 30 years of experience in the education field; including teaching k-6, middle school, high school, and college. As an attorney, I specialized in Juvenile Law; including delinquent children, abused/neglected children, children with special needs, and children with educational problems.

My guiding principle as a teacher is to enable students to understand what they are learning in focused and logical steps. For example, in teaching writing, I stress the idea of the three c's: concise, concrete, and clear writing. In addition, I focus on hands-on learning; that is, the student who is intimately involved in his/her learning is: 1) better able to grasp the concepts involved; and 2) likely to be more motivated.

I was an active trial lawyer who also wrote legal briefs and argued in Appellate Courts such as the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. I can help your child read, speak, and write better. S/he will know how to present his/her ideas to the world in understandable terms and, more importantly, s/he will be more confident about his/her abilities. Being able to attack and understand problems in a logical and focused manner makes for a better learner and a better human being who can face the travails of life.

Thank you for your time and your attention." less...
