Hello and welcome!  If you are a student (or the parent of one), willing to work hard toward your goals and find your voice, request a short phone meeting through the contact box on my homepage, or via phone at: 312-775-2889.  In order to be most effective, I believe that student and teacher must be compatible.  Real learning requires trust and vulnerability, which can't be achieved with someone you don't feel comfortable with.  This short chat will make sure we are a good fit.  I look forward to meeting you!
