I have also traveled to 55 countries and have taught and trained teachers in Japan, Korea, China, and Malaysia.Me as a Teacher

Adam's class is awesome! Adam is a perfect coach for preparing an interview. He has special teaching skills and I guess he must have a lot of experience in teaching business english. I just finished the first class with him, and I am 100% satisfied with it.
