WRITING & EDITING Stressed whenever a writing deadline looms, I have found Miera’s help and guidance to be invaluable and indeed highly motivating. She is very thorough and reassuringly professional in everything she does.
Finding an Editor who not only has a bull’s eye for detail, but also has the rare and uncanny understanding of what the writer has in mind is more than you have the right to hope for. She will increase your energy and confidence. -Edouard M. Writer, France
COMMUNICATION AND ETIQUETTE COURSE Ms. Rao was one of the most influential Facilitators, who knew the importance of knowing more than just Business studies. My favorite part of the Course was to learn writing skills and dining etiquette. I would recommend this course to my friends, because this is what makes a man a gentleman. -Sohan M.B.A. Student
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION I had the opportunity to work with Miera to improve my sales and interpersonal skills and I highly recommend her. I have been able to practice and implement her tips in all my sales communication and have been seen great results. I am the C.E.O. at a healthcare tech startup in California. Coming from an Asian ethnicity and a technology career background, it was hard for me to transition to a client-facing role. I used to be anxious in client meetings and would often lose business due to sub-optimal communication. With Miera’s guidance, I was able to put myself at ease in client communications. The training also helps in better understanding customer requirements, building trust with customers, and a rise in sales revenue.
I only wish I had started working with her sooner rather than in the later stages of my company. -Anonymous C.E.O. at a Healthcare Startup
WRITING I can’t thank Miera enough for her time and talent given to Opera San José. We are all grateful that she entered our opera family and shared our mission. She adds much to the decision making and discussion. I have always known that if you want anything done ask a busy person. Indeed she is that kind of person!
In the role of Auction Committee Chairman, she re-wrote some of our documents. In doing this, they have a special touch and flair that shows her talent with words and how to express them and at the same time keep the pertinent information. She sets goals and strives for them with great determination. Can we clone her? -Jeanne M. Vice President | Planned Giving & Events Opera San José

COLLEGE ESSAYS Miera has wonderful and unique ideas to really make your writing standout. What I really appreciated was the fact that she truly wants to understand the purpose of your writing as a means of improving it. I felt my own writing skills improve when incorporating her suggestions with my own style of writing, never feeling that the work was not mine anymore. Miera truly tries to help you create the piece with your unique vision by providing multiple ways to really make it standout. -Vishal U.C. Santa Barbara
COMMUNICATION AND ETIQUETTE COURSE Public speaking was my favorite part of the program; I learnt how to overcome stage fear and nervousness and to make a formal presentation. -N M.B.A. Student
COLLEGE ESSAYS Miera’s writing and communication skills are second to none and her friendly and understanding approach make her an outstanding person to work with. I am currently studying UX Design at UC San Diego. When I first began drafting my essays for The Common App and UC prompts, I had trouble communicating my ideas in a structured and organized format. Miera’s expertise and guidance allowed me to tackle this issue and soon the entire college application process became enjoyable rather than intimidating.
The charisma that Miera possesses can make students feel comfortable and confident in their writing potential. I was even able to rewrite many additional writing supplements with her guidance. As an expert in syntax and essay writing, Miera was able to help suggest unique methods on how to make my essay memorable and clear. I definitely look forward to working with Miera again in the future. -Vik R. U.C. San Diego
PUBLIC SPEAKING This class was exactly what I needed to improve my speaking skills. At a regular speech class little things are overlooked, but a one-on-one experience made sure I sounded more professional and confident when I speak. What I learned definitely made my speeches more impactful at the debate tournament, the weekend after the class. Knowing what I was doing wrong has definitely improved my communication skills even in everyday life. All in all, I think the class was amazing and a no-brainer for those considering taking it. -Lohit P. High School Student
