I explain things. Almost all the services I offer come down to this. Much of my day-to-day work is 1- hour coaching sessions for doctors and business people. I help with CVs and resumes; I do a lot of interview practice. You really need to try me if this is what you need. I have unique methods you won't find anywhere else. If you are making a presentation, I can help you. I have a wide range of experience. I've been a medical and psychiatric nurse for 30 years, taught in a college for over five years, and I've been coaching medical and business professionals for about 5 years now. For writing, editing, and discussion, as well as presentations, I'm versed in medicine, nursing, law, advanced English, and even topics like construction and real estate. I specialize in helping people whose first language is not English, but I'm open to working with anyone. I'm an American, right now in Bangkok, Thailand, but relocating to New York City in a few months. I'm more than willing to the flexible in working the hours you need for any time zone. Besides the above services, I am open to acting as a call center, particularly for the fields of substance abuse treatment and immigration law. I have a direct US Eastern Time phone (New York City Number), and I am able to call almost any location worldwide. I have years of experience in mental health and substance abuse (psychiatric hospital emergency/intake, and administration) and feel I can do better than most providers in this area. I have some knowledge of immigration law, and recently, a friend tried to call US firms and did not get her calls and messages returned, so I see a need in this area. Examples of my work include the following: • Helping revise PowerPoints and practicing presentations. • Editing documents such as journal articles, business reports, middle school, high school, and university essays and research papers, and I even have clients who have me edit their e-mail messages. I've edited articles for medical, business, and scientific journals in such fields as healthcare, as well as business, oil production, and finance. • Mock interviews for doctors, nurses, business professionals, top-tier MBA program candidates, and prospective students for selective universities and private high schools. • Helping candidates with the Occupational English test (OET). This is a test for medical professionals similar to the IELTS or TOEFL. There are listening, reading, speaking, and writing sections, and I have extensive experience and a good track record with my clients passing this exam. • If you speak at least intermediate English but don't often get to use your English, I offer weekly one-hour conversation sessions; the price is reasonable. I have several such clients at any given time, including people from IT, business, medicine, and nursing. • Cultural and travel consultations: I'm an American currently in Asia, and I have visited all 50 United States and about 60 other countries. Particularly for people who are relocating to the United States, I can discuss almost any location, what to expect, and how to arrange things like driving licenses, cars, apartments, and other everyday chores. I can also help you practice job interviews so that you're prepared to answer the question, “Do you think you would like to live in our location?” • Video editing: I have intermediate skills in Final Cut Pro, and I also own the related programs Motion and Compressor, as well as Recut for taking speaking gaps out. I'm willing to help with this on a very reasonable cost basis, to help with your lower-budget or charitable project and develop my skills and reputation.
