"Steve does communication skills programs for meetings and presentations in the Boston area and online. Steve coaches, teaches, and trains high-level, fluent international professionals who want to optimize and maximize their English communication skills and English language proficiency in the US and worldwide.

Steve, “We work on higher order capabilities – finer and more subtle communication points. This includes non-verbal skills, intercultural communication in the US, pronunciation, message content, vocal presentation, and English language proficiency.”

Steve teaches beginner guitar. He likes a wide range of popular music including blues, older R-n- B, some reggae, some jazz, a little country, and more. In a no non-sense way, Steve shows you what to do to get the basics together, play easy songs, use the “5-note scale”, and more. Steve can teach basic “music theory” so that you know how chords and notes relate to the guitar."
