I have a BFA in Studio Art, with a minor in Art History. I had aways had an interest in writing, and in college developed expository writing skills, proofreading and editing skills.
I am a freelance translator, proofreader and editor, with 20 years of experience in various genres, including news articles, literature, grant applications, pitch decks and corporate reports. My English language skills can help you with any challenge: homework assignments, college application essays, creative writing, and corporate writing projects. Many of my students were (and are) speakers of English as a second language. For those of you who simply wish to improve your reading and writing skills, you can count on successful results . Many students have benefited from my approach, by learning to proofread for grammar and syntax, enhance vocabulary, achieve narrative flow and clarity of thought.
If conversational Hebrew is your goal, I lived in Israel for twenty years and am fluent in Modern Hebrew. I do not teach Bar/Bat Mitzvah prep. My Hebrew language students range from beginner through intermediate levels.
For art students, I can advise about building your portfolio for the purpose of applying to art college, and I can help with any assignment regarding art history. I can also advise about materials and techniques and suggest resources for finding the right materials for your artistic style.

Art History

Art history is a lifelong exploration for me. My curiosity extends to all eras and techniques. Art history is the gateway to studying world history-the topics are intertwined and inseparable. Historical context is just as important as the visual and emotional impact of art.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary

The English language is a complex and beautiful thing. I know what it's like to be a foreigner, having lived in 3 countries over 20 years. But, even native speakers struggle with content and meaning in English. Good vocabulary enhances your confidence, whether you are a native English speaker or non-native. Improving your vocabulary enhances your self-expression and the impression you make upon others.

Deborah takes the time to find new material for each assignment , and is able to gear the material to my level. I find it very helpful that we discuss the material after reading, which helps my comprehension and gives me confidence in speaking.
