Me as a Teacher
I specialize in teaching adults, especially WHITE-COLLAR EMPLOYEES, to ‘Speak English better, or more fluently’ on a wide range of general and business topics.
I have a TESOL Teaching Certificate and 12+ years of teaching experience, in both Business English and IELTS, online since 2016 and at schools and universities in China.
A first-class communicator and motivator with excellent interpersonal skills, and looking forward to transferring these abilities, using my knowledge of business English and IELTS.
My lessons & teaching style
I will help and encourage you to ‘Speak English better, or more fluently’ and I will give oral corrections on grammar, pronunciation, and advice on word order and useful expressions to use during our lesson.
I am looking forward to transferring these abilities, using my knowledge of Business English and IELTS. With this proven method, you will quickly improve your communication skills. Good form, in fact, is not to try to initiate any topics of conversation yourself at all.
Whatever your reason for learning English — you have come to the right place!
A 45-minute lesson is a good way to try out my English teaching methods. → Shall we make a start?
