About Me
italki teacher since Apr 22, 2020InterestsTravelBusiness & FinanceHistoryEnvironment & NatureScience
Passionate about culture, communication and problem-solving, I trained to become an English language teacher after graduating in Philosophy. Beyond teaching, I have over 10 years of experience working in cross-industry recruitment on a global level.
In my spare time, you’ll probably find me brewing the perfect cup of coffee, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, cracking open a bottle of wine, reading up on current affairs, or (let’s be honest) searching for something to watch on Netflix.Me as a Teacher
In 2011, I completed my Trinity College TESOL Certification in London (UK) and was immediately hired by the language school where I trained to start teaching students.
I relocated to Seville, Spain, where I taught at a local language academy and became a coordinator for TESOL Spain, a non-profit organization focused on providing ongoing training and support for English teachers.
In 2014, I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I transitioned into human resources / recruitment consulting for multinational organizations while continuing to teach English independently on a freelance basis.My lessons & teaching style
General English - Business English - Test Preparation
My teaching style is based on communication through speaking and listening. I believe that the most effective way to learn a language is by using the language to explore the things in life that interest you most.
I can offer resources and tips for you to practice your reading and writing skills during your free time. We can then review the work that you’ve been doing through conversation in the following class.
We will quickly identify the areas that you need to focus on - particular vocabulary, certain aspects of pronunciation, specific grammar points or a combination of these - and adapt our classes to target these.Certificates

I recently had the pleasure of taking five online classes with Shaun to prepare for the C1 Cambridge exam, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was an outstanding teacher, particularly in helping me improve my speaking skills. Shaun quickly identified my weaknesses and tailored the lessons to focus on those areas, which made all the difference. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I went into the exam feeling confident and well-prepared—and I passed successfully! I highly recommend Shaun to anyone looking to excel in their English exams.

Shaun, thank you for helping me prepare for the HR interview. You are a very professional teacher. I am happy to share that I have successfully passed the HR interview. I would not have achieved this without your teaching and guidance. Thank you very much.

Honesty and precision are two words that define him. I have gained a lot of confidence thanks to Sean. The class is very dynamic and time flies by when you talk to him.
