My career spans 25 years as a tutor; publications editor and published author, and I have collaborated on all kinds of creative writing, including film scripts; art catalogues and books; and ghosting. I specialise in tutoring adults and tertiary students, both foreign (ESL) and Australian. I have extensive experience in online editing of academic papers. I have a practical approach to teaching communication skills. As well as giving an understanding of basic grammar in writing, I can help with pronunciation in speaking, and with giving presentations. All these different skills combine to give my students the confidence to achieve their goals. I can also offer simple techniques for managing stress.
