My mother came to the US from Poland, and my parents always made sure I spoke proper English. Spelling and grammar have always come easily to me, and my friends and family often ask me to check their writing for errors and make suggestions for improvements.

BIOGRAPHY

I have always been in love with language and attracted to the world of words. I get a charge out of structuring a sentence, perfecting a paragraph, finessing a phrase, tackling a typo—and yes, I appreciate alliteration as well. Communication is key, as they say, and I enjoy exploring all that it can unlock.

BIOGRAPHY

I attended grammar school in England, which was determined to teach me to write and speak English correctly. It was a while ago but I remember it fondly. After school, I spent two years working in the chemical, and coal industries as a laboratory technician, then 30 years in IT, of which the final 15 years were in management roles. During those times I wrote thousands of documents of all descriptions. The English always had to be precise and the format faultless. Away from my desk, I am an avid sports fan. After retiring in 2011 I lived in Goa, India for a year. For the last nine years I have lived in Thailand. I like to help people, so please let me help you with your English.

Communication builds bridges to reach family, friends, coworkers, or supervisors. Helping people to create these bridges is very satisfying to me. If English is not your native language, you have my full respect - English can be very challenging, and your efforts to learn are commendable :) My hobbies are playing hockey, reading, and crossword puzzles.

BIOGRAPHY

My grandfather was a schoolteacher, and when I was growing up, he'd rap my knuckles with a spoon if I made any errors in grammar. While that certainly motivated me to use English correctly, I think a more gentle approach to learning is better ;-) I love helping others learn to write well in English, and I hope I can help you improve your English skills!

I read for pleasure, so my favorite projects involve working with authors on their manuscripts to polish their prose and help them tell their stories as best they can. Fun Fact: I found all my favorite grammar books lacking, so I wrote my own.
