I am a multi-talented coach, master teacher, writer, musician, social scientist, activist and administrator. I advise parents in planning for their children's futures. I specialise in ethics and environmental conditioning.
I am good with slow and fast students and take a personal approach to the student and their work, one-on-one and small groups. I keep things simple and enjoyable and have an exceptionally high success rate, in overall finish. I help with speaking and elocution in both English and French. I can help you and your children in better understanding the educational environment today and what things to watch out for in rapidly changing times. Importance is given to ethics and clarity of thinking and writing. In music, the student has to feel that s/he is enjoying the class and the homework. UK and America educated from the old school and well traveled, my experience of the imperial world (as it was when it was working) conditions my relationship with you. Our work maintains high standards of grace, grammar, style and culture. I teach for love and pride of accomplishment.
*Homeschooling children* I homeschooled my own daughter from grades 5 through 7 for three years inclusive. She's doing well in school. She's dyslexic and I have studied how to help and recognise talent in children with dyslexia dyscalculia and dysgraphia.
*Adults, Academics Professionals, including Business, Media, and Governance* Currently (2019 to 2022), for example, I've been working with a Somali professional to help him win a Chevening scholarship for his Master's degree in the UK. This includes mentoring and leadership in how to think through writing and maintain authenticity and a consciousness of ethics.
*Music* I specialise in *Western vocals* and *Piano and Keyboards* for Western and Eastern genres. Guitar basic enjoyment, too. I specialise in beginning and intermediate piano and singing with tutoring in Western classical. Students must have their own guitar or keyboard.
Learn with joy. I am the coach for you and your children for life.
