I was born and raised in New York City.  I am a fifth-generation New Yorker.

I am a graduate of Yale University (East Asian Languages and History), and I was an editor at The New York Times for 23 years. 

With over 20 years of teaching experience, I am a world expert in English Conversation, Accent and Writing.  

Over many years, I have developed unique teaching methods. I make English grammar and vocabulary simple and fun. I make a good accent and rhythm in English easy and natural to develop. 

As a New York Times editor, I am a world expert in English Writing. I help many students with their essays, applications and résumés.  

I can make you a better writer in your own language, too! 

For executives, diplomats and other professionals, I teach Business English, Presentation Giving and Speech Giving.  Many students come to me for editing help on essays, applications and reports.   

I have studied 12 languages. (Maybe one of those languages is yours!)  I have also lived in England, Scotland, Israel, Hong Kong and Taiwan.  

With my Personalized Online English Lessons on Zoom, my students are all over the world.
