About Me
italki teacher since Dec 3, 2021InterestsSports & FitnessFilms & TV SeriesTravel
I live in England, just north of London and not too far from Cambridge, with my Polish wife and younger son- my eldest is now at University. I've worked for over 30 years in marketing management positions in various multinational car companies so am very used to the dynamics of a business environment and working with overseas colleagues. My hobbies include travel, cars. football, films and golf.Me as a Teacher
I have certification for Teaching English as a Foreign language and have been teaching overseas students online for around a year now but the important point to make is my background is not teaching but industry so I know the dynamics of companies when it comes to the practicality of teaching Business English- my specialism. Very used to helping students prepare for interviews.My lessons & teaching style
I have a very relaxed conversational style but will definitely feedback on any errors. After an initial consultation I tailor the subsequent sessions to the exact needs of the student using a mix of online material, conversation and homework where necessary. Having specialised at work in giving senior management and consumer presentations I am very used to students practicising work presentations with me where I can advise on optimum format and phraseology. I have a range of accents I can employ if an issue is understanding of certain dialects! My ethos is that any student should enjoy any lesson as much as they should learn from it.My teaching material
- Presentation slides/PPT
- Articles and news
- Test templates and examples
- Quizzes
- Homework Assignments
- Text Documents

Hi Martian . How are you? Just want to let you know, I passed the second interview and got a third one! This time is with the head of the Beijing office. I think it will be conducted mainly in Chinese so I feel more at ease with this one. Thanks so much for your coaching! I have learned a lot. You are so amazing. May you have a good day!
