Introduction
Note: I only tutor at my residence in Daly City, but I can do editing work via email or text. My name is Lois and I have over 30 years of tutoring experience both privately and in Top 10 Prep Schools in Hawaii. Pre-K through 12th grade. I am fully vaccinated against COVID 19 - I can teach most subjects but I have a specialty of Acting and Speaking skills and Writing, English as a Second Language and Accent Reduction. Also all education subjects K-12 and verbal college subjects. My students come to me for lessons - I do not travel to them. I have expertise with verbal and organizational skills as well and have helped over 150 students improve their ACT/SAT/GRE/TOFEL/GMAT/ etc. Standardized test scores and prepare their college essays. I am also a published writer who in experienced at doing edits, polishes, co-writing manuscripts and converting books to screenplay (Final Draft) scripts. I have produced 3 movies and 1 Documentary - see IMBD (Lois Shaffer Oda) Knowing that I have inspired another to understand and feel self assured about their ability to achieve their own goals I also train public speakers and actors as well as help them with their speech writing.
