Hobbies

I believe that teaching is my "calling." I love to teach kids and adults individually in all aspects of writing, as well as public speaking and accent reduction. My personal interests are diverse and include all of the creative arts -- theater, dance, music, crafts and fine art. (I especially love ballet.) I love politics and political satire, traveling, conversation. I bond easily with students, and my years on the planet have given me ways to relate and share experiences with nearly everyone. I have a sense of humor and a warm and personal teaching style.
