Very experienced English tutor and Business English tutor. I am a native English speaker and I have been teaching English for over ten years now. I am an Australian, originally from Melbourne. I have an MBA, as well as a Bachelor of Architecture and have worked in English speaking corporations in Australia for over 25 years. I am very experienced in Business English, business etiquette and the cultural English we use every day. I am currently living in Spain - I have been here for over seven years. Prior to this a was living for two years in Beijing, China, and tutored in English there full time as well. Before this I was tutoring students in English from Australia.

Me as a Teacher

I have 4 lesson types: 1: Business English: I teach business terminology, practice & cultural English for students to work & be promoted in business. 2: General English: I work with you to choose the topics you want in order to improve your English. 3. Job Interview training: I use my experience hiring to train you to succeed in your interview. 3: English Exam Coaching: I teach students who are wanting to pass English exams. I have qualifications in both the IELTS and TOEFL systems and teach both. I also give feedback towards the end of every lesson so that the student understands where they are at on their journey to learning English and can set tailored homework.

My lessons & teaching style

I teach students of all different abilities from all over the world. I believe that individual tutoring means that you will have an individually tailored program. We will work towards this with exercises and conversation, all the time having fun but achieving. I am also a professional Architect with MBA. Therefore expert at analysis of issues to be solved and with a strong solutions focus.
