Me as a Teacher
Since 2002 I’ve worked in Foshan, China as a teacher of English to Middle and High school students and Business English to adults. Since 2019 I focused on online teaching of Business English, Job Interview technique and General English. I’m an experienced and competent teacher in a business, recruitment and scientific/IT environment. The lessons are valuable for anyone looking to improve fluency and confidence. I joined italki in 2019, have provided more than 5800 lessons, have been commended in top 1% of teachers, had 634 students and received 324 glowing 5-star reviews. My goal is to help you.
My lessons & teaching style
You have good knowledge of English, but you are weak in speaking. Your fluency and confidence need improvement. I teach speaking and listening and English Fluency. Improving fluency and confidence is achieved with a simple formula but it’s not easy. It needs two things: knowledge and hard work. The knowledge is the basic principles of English fluency – stress, intonation and word linking. The hard work is practicing, applying the principles, doing homework in English speaking and listening. The knowledge? That's me! The hard work? That's you! Take a lesson and see what I mean!

Very good first class! Had no clue about some aspects of my speaking precisely pointed out by John. John is indeed extremely well prepared to teach you Business English and help you hone your speaking and listening skills. The structure of the class was also well planned. Till the next class!
