Personal Coaching

Each of the 16 lessons focuses on critical techniques that you can apply immediately to bring about a major improvement in your work. The heart of my coaching, however, is the corrections that I make on your submitted assignments along with specific personal comments on your work. As a writer who has struggled through both trial and error and expert instruction I know the value of having a knowledgeable working writing professional as a coach. Now, did you know that Michael Jackson once had a singing coach and that boxing great Mohammed Ali had a coach even at the height of his career?

Why learn to be a better writer?

The reasons for learning to be a better writer are many: Impressing your boss (raise, anyone?). You may have English-speaking pen friends with whom you want to maintain a long-term relationship. Or you may be the kind of ambitious person who longs to write articles and reports for an English newspaper in your city. Of course, those who want to study in an American, British, or Australian university will find that improving their writing skills can make their university career a breeze. Yes, with my guidance, the writing section of the TOEFL or the TOEIC or general essay or composition writing will no longer strike fear in your heart. Rather, you will approach such exams with a great deal of confidence, as you would have learned how to write with grace and verve.
