Are you looking to ace your job or university interview? I am an experienced business manager who has interviewed hundreds of candidates in the past and so I am well placed to offer you advice on the best interview techniques, and perfect model answers. Before your first class, I will send you a 30-page file that contains a whole range of interview questions, some of which are basic and easy to answer, but some are more challenging, e.g. the STAR technique questions. In our class, I will ask you the questions that are most suited to the role you are applying for, then I will give you some tips on how to answer the question, then I will let you answer like you would in the real interview. I will listen to your answer and then, if necessary,  provide you with feedback on how you can improve your answer, both from a content and language point of view.

If you need help preparing your CV or resume, I also offer this service. I have helped many students with my interview classes who were then offered senior positions in some of the world's leading companies, and places on courses in esteemed universities.

English conversation lesson

I am a qualified IELTS tutor with an excellent record of helping students achieve at least a band 7.0 in their IELTS exam. Below, I will explain how I teach each section of the IELTS exam to ensure you are fully prepared for any type of question you will face in the real exam.

SPEAKING-
I will use real IELTS speaking questions from the most recent IELTS exams. I will ask you some questions from all parts and allow you to answer as if you were in the real exam. I will then give you some feedback on your answer, and if necessary, tell you how it could be improved.
LISTENING-
In this part of the IELTS test, you need to know about the specific technique that you must use to answer each section of the listening test. I will provide you with some sample listening tests which we will go through where I carefully explain what you need to do to pass with a high score. By the end of my class(es), you will feel 100% more confident in answering this part of the exam.
READING-
The reading section of IELTS is all about technique and recognising synonyms and synonymous  phrases. I will teach you how to skim read and use your time in the exam effectively to find all the correct answers. I will use genuine past papers to demonstrate the techniques you need to learn and you will pass your exam with the score you deserve.
WRITING-
I have compiled several files containing sample Task 1 and Task 2 questions (academic and general). Before your first class, I can send you these files, and if you have time, you can write some practice essays to send to me before or during your class with me. During the class, I will go through and correct/comment on your writing and give you a predicted score. If you do not have time to write anything outside of the lesson time, I will use the time during our class to analyse various sample questions and then present a sample essay to you for discussion.

I'll be introducing you to the best strategies and methods for whichever exam you're stuck on and I'll be assigning you different kinds of homework to help you prepare for them and reviewing them with you by giving you specific feedback.  For those of you preparing for TOEFL and are facing major difficulties with the production skills (speaking and writing), I will give you extensive feedback on your speaking audio files and writing tasks via Microsoft Word/Google Doc format.

Conversation Practice with Grammar, Pronunciation, and Vocabulary

The pre-intermediate and intermediate levels are the ones that I have seen students have the most difficulty passing through. I have successfully helped several students get through these difficult levels over the years. I teach English grammar classes using a structured program derived from various textbooks. The classes are focused on grammar topics that are then used in guided conversations.The targeted language points are taught by getting students to figure out how they work for themselves. I ask the students questions and guide them towards the correct answers. By forcing students to think for themselves they gain a better understanding of how the language works and are able to communicate more effectively in English. In these classes, you will learn verb tenses, collocations, prepositions, and much more to ensure that you can reach the more advanced levels.

If you would like any additional information or to talk with me, send me a message on italki or book a trial class with me.

English Grammar (Pre-intermediate and Intermediate)

These classes are designed to help you advance in your career. They consist of:

1. Job Interview Preparation - you will start by preparing for commonly asked questions related to your experience and skills. During this part, I will teach you different strategies in order to help you answer these questions effectively. After that, we will go through a full interview where I will ask you more difficult questions and coach you on how to answer them. Additionally, I am available to help you with your cover letter and resume, if you require any assistance.

2. Business Skills - you will learn to effectively write emails and/or make presentations in English during these lessons. I studied business administration and am able to teach you what I have learned. I can teach you the concepts, techniques, strategies, grammar, and vocabulary to get your message heard.

English for Work (Job Interview Preparation/Business Skills/Technical English)

These classes will help you learn idioms and expressions that are commonly used by native speakers. There are conversations that focus on business, travel, celebrations, and daily situations. You can choose which topics interests you the most! These classes will help you understand and communicate better in real situations. The class structure is as follows:

1. Listen - you will be sent an audio track with a one to two minute conversation filled with idioms and expressions that are commonly used by native speakers. You will need to listen to the main points of the conversation by focusing on the context. This will help your listening skills by teaching you to focus on words that you know to understand general meanings and main ideas. During this part, it is recommended that you take notes in order to prepare for the class. 

2. Learn - I will teach you what the idioms and expressions mean by using the context of the conversation as a guide. I will give you examples and explanations of other situations they can be used in as well. 

3, Speak - you will get the chance to use what you have learned in conversations during the class. This will give you practice and ensure that you can use the new expressions and phrases correctly. 

After the class has ended, I will get you to listen to the audio track again. At this point, you will be able to understand the complete conversation. After that, I will ask you to take a quiz based on the lesson for homework. In addition to that, you can send me sentences using the new expressions and idioms to give you some extra practice. It is recommended that you review the lessons at different intervals to help you retain the material that was taught.

Through these classes, you will hear and learn how English is really spoken in business and everyday life!
