Hello, my name is "Alex". I received from Italki a "Masterful Mentor" Teacher Award and was ranked in the top 1 % of all teachers in 2022. In both April and October 2024 I was one of the most-in-demand of Italki teachers. I am a Native English Speaker, born in the UK, but who has also lived, worked and extensively travelled internationally in the US, Caribbean, Europe and Asia. I am an experienced on-line English teacher who has taught 8,400+ English lessons to 1,100+ ESL students with 600+ Top Reviews. My work history has been as a Business Owner with over 40 years international experience which includes a marketing consulting firm, a real estate company and an import/export business.
Me as a Teacher
My accent is neutral having both North American and British exposure, so it is especially useful to those thinking of travelling to the UK, US, EU and other English speaking countries. I have conducted seminars for business management and marketing techniques for small sized companies while continually interacting with international cultures. I offer a "General English Conversational Practice" lesson, as well as, a speciality lesson "English Conversations about Business Topics" which may be of interest to those pursuing a business career. Additionally, I offer lessons for "Job Interview Practice - Mock Ups" and/or "Business English". I am extremely patient, friendly and my lessons are fun.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching sessions are 100% conversational. I will prepare a "Catered Teaching Program" to meet your unique goals to improve your level of speaking and communicating utilising the English Language. I believe the best method of learning English is for you to continually speak in English about as many subjects as possible. Initially I offer new students a choice of lesson structures. The first is "Impromptu Conversation" where the student shows up at the class and we talk about any subject they may prefer, or I will initiate a topic. The second option is a "Hybrid" curriculum where I will send "In Advance to their Session" a short "News Article" where the student will provide his opinions.

He is a very helpful teacher for quite a long time. He even remembers my personal schedule that has nothing to do with learning English and is very supportive.
