"My name is Laura S. I have a BA in Mass Communications. I have been a broadcast journalist for over 15 years. What this means for my students is that they are getting a teacher who literally communicates verbally and in writing with the public everyday and in every way. During my time as a journalist, I have volunteered extensively as a tutor around the world for all age ranges and education levels. I am a versatile instructor, and have experience with young children just beginning to read, college bound students wanting to learn to write more succinctly, and high powered executives looking to improve their business presence and presentation skills. Skills I teach include, but are not limited to the following:

*ESL

*Reading/Writing (K-12)

*Adult Literacy

*Business Writing/Correspondence

*Presentation Skills

*Public/Persuasive Speaking

I tailor my classes to fit the individual, helping students (or their parents)set and surpass short and long term goals.

I want my students to succeed and they do!" less...
