About
I am a graduate of Florida Atlantic University and Barry University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on British History and received my Master of Arts Degree in Speech Communica... tions. Since graduation, I have worked at the IBM Corporation for twenty years, rising to the level of Senior Staff. After IBM I have been a college Professor teaching Public Speaking, and various Communications Courses at Florida International University and Palm Beach State College. I tutor a broad range of communication subjects. I am most passionate about Public Speaking, Business and Professional Communication, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare to become effective and appropriate communicators using Critical Thinking and Critical Listening techniques. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all my students. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, music, and furry friend's aka dogs and cats.
I love teaching and tutoring students to be competent communicators and speakers. My tutoring philosophy is to engage each student through lessons that encourage them to exceed the student's expectations in a caring and learning arena.
I am patient and understanding as I get to know each student's needs.read more
