Socrates

My philosophy on teaching . . . In this Texting Age your child needs speaking skills more than ever . . . It's an Investment . . . Especially in these hard economic times

I believe in developing the student into a self-confident, better spoken, knowledgeable person. One who feels comfortable in any setting, and can answer any question with assurance. I encourage students to be themselves at all times, exploring their capabilities, and allowing them to grow through a process of self-discovery. I teach students to communicate and sell themselves, and most importantly to exude self-confidence.

Q. Why should I invest in interview training?

A. Your child will not always be texting. They must learn to speak correctly and distinctly. Your child will always communicate, and the goals that I teach: presentation, poise, proper diction, losing or correcting a Southern accent and self-esteem are tools one needs for the rest of her life. She/he will not always be in a beauty pageant; but she/he will always communicate; I teach the gift that keeps on giving. This is instruction that will assist her/him through college life, job interviews and much more. This is the best money you will spend for the development of your child.

Q. How do you teach, where, hours?

A. I teach on a one-on-one basis, not a group setting. I feel I get to know the person and I can effectively learn their styles of communication and can teach accordingly. On a one-on-one basis the student learns much more and can open up to new ideas better. I care for my students and do not wish for them to have cookie-cutter answers. I want, at all times, for the student to be himself or herself. I teach on an hourly basis, most students who travel in book for two hours at a time. I work seven days a week. I live approximately three miles from the State House in Columbia, SC.

Q. How do I go about making an appointment?

A. Call me and we set up a time. Some people think I am already booked up, but I will do my best to try to work you in. You do not have to sign a contract; you come as often as you feel the need. I would like to observe you to decide how many classes I think you ought to have. I give a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with my instruction.
