Individual or group tuition to improve your skills or those of your employees or students.

These are one or two day sessions for academic, business and international environments including individual practical work and guidance. I’ve developed these from my thirty years experience in making presentations and many types of writing and have glowing evaluations for all my sessions both in the UK and elsewhere.

I’m able to teach others achieve better oral and written work with sessions that include practical work and commentary as well as the theories. I’ve led sessions for businesses such as Vauxhall Motors and Monarch Airlines and for numerous universities in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus, Sweden and other countries.
