    Public Speaking Lessons

    Carl is an amazing instructor, he helped me structure my pitch deck presentation and website content. Very happy with the results! Carl is very patient and always made sure I understand how to do it my self. I will definitely use Carl when I need writing and public speaking presentations again.

    Public Speaking Lessons

    Carl is Excellent. Highly recommended. His advice to slow down and love each word was particular helpful to me. Another magic trick he uses is to substitute words that you have difficulty speaking with other words that you will find easier to pronounce. He can improve your writing and be a highly effective voice coach.

    Reading and Writing Tutoring

    Carl did a great job working with our 5th grader to improve reading comprehension and writing skills. He started by collaborating with us on a structured learning program to focus on areas we wanted to excel in. On a weekly basis Carl taught detailed lessons progressing in complexity. One of his key strengths is his ability to explain the 'why' in a way that relates to the skill level of the child.

    Public Speaking Lessons

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I expected just a simple lesson on brainstorming and writing my speech for a contest. It ended up being a very deep dive into my personal stories to create a powerful speech that I'm confident in. Carl is such a warm loving soul, his teaching style is like that of a mentor or even an uncle who cares sincerely about your well being, self worth, self confidence, your success and happiness.

    Public Speaking Lessons

    Carl is very engaged, thorough in his approach, very helpful and extremely accommodating for the dates and times of the sessions. He puts all his efforts to support you and extract the best of you in the public speaking. He never misses a detail and work with you to the full achievement of all the pre-set goals. I will continue to work with him because I truly appreciate his help and advise in this process.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
    I am open to reducing my hourly fee based on any of these factors: -- the client is willing to meet me at a convenient location that reduces my own driving time -- the length of the lesson is 90 minutes or more -- the frequency of lessons is more than once-per-week
  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
    I begin with a telephone conversation in which the client and I discuss his/her specific needs and goals and the ways in which I can help realize them. We then schedule a first lesson in which we get to know one another and feel comfortable working together. The lesson can take place at the client's home, office or a nearby cafe/coffeeshop.
  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
    I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT) in history and European literature. My coursework in college required of me to devote extensive time to reading and writing, and this process enabled me to master the art of navigating the English language and articulating my ideas in writing and speaking in a precise, sophisticated and succinct fashion. I have a Master's degree in Education from Lesley University (Cambridge, MA). My coursework there along with my classroom practicum/internship experience instilled in me tremendous insight into the quailities and work habits that make one an effective teacher. In my 30-year teaching career, I have worked as a Grade 4 classroom teacher, a history teacher to Grades 6-9 (American, European, Asian, and ancient history), a library studies teacher, a children's drama teacher and theater director, and a school communications writer and editor.
