Do you want some help turning your expertise into simple learning services that others can access online? My clients tell me that obstacles quickly turn into new insights and useful challenges with my help.


For over 25 years, I have taught in secondary schools and universities and trained and coached managers in business and non-profit organizations. I enjoy teaching and coaching both native and non-native English speakers and have been facilitating international teamwork using the Internet since 1989.


I am a well-published writer but I am also an experienced editor and instructional designer . I truly enjoy helping people speed up the process of packaging their knowledge so others can buy learning products and services from you!
