Speak English with Confidence | For Professionals, Interviews & Real-Life Communication You understand English, but when it is time to speak, you hesitate or lose confidence. That is exactly what we fix together. I am John, a Canadian professional with 20 years of experience leading teams across Canada and Europe in healthcare, technology, and international business. I hold a BSc in Business Informatics along with PMP, PRINCE2, and ITIL certifications. I have coached everyone from complete beginners to senior executives and I genuinely enjoy watching people grow into confident speakers. My approach is simple. We speak. A lot. Lessons are built around real situations you actually face, job interviews, workplace conversations, presentations, meetings, and everyday communication. I correct you naturally in the flow of conversation without interrupting your confidence, because the fastest way to improve is not memorizing rules. It is speaking regularly with honest guidance in real time. What we can work on together: -Conversational English for all levels -Business English and workplace communication -Interview preparation and career coaching -English for technology and digital professionals -Project management fundamentals -Beginners through to advanced fluency Outside of teaching I am into travel, hiking, tech, and sports. I enjoy working with people from all kinds of backgrounds and helping them stop translating in their heads and start speaking English naturally. If you are ready to get started, book a trial lesson and let us have a real conversation.

AMERICAN Writing Tutor: CELTA Certified, Published in major US publications. If you want to write like a native-English speaker, then I’m your teacher. I'm seeking self-motivated students - intermediate, advanced or proficient - who like to help plan their lessons with me. When students take charge of their lessons, I'm really impressed. I tell students at the beginning of our sessions to not get really upset or over-apologize about mistakes. I make plenty of mistakes, too. So if you can enjoy yourself while you're learning English, I'm happy. Students have told me that I'm funny, patient and supportive, and I plan to live up to these expectations for you.

Good pronunciation and accent, encouraging, fun and interesting, with 20 years experience. I have twenty years experience teaching English. I have taught private one-on-one classes, in academies and online. I have a “Received Pronunciation” accent, which many people think of as an English accent, but it is like a correct, standard form of speaking, which can help in listening. Something that I love about teaching on italki is having had the opportunity to meet students from all parts of the world. I respect, and I am interested in, different cultures, religions, races and politics. I believe learning languages can help us understand others, which is so important in this world today. I am very supportive and encouraging. I believe mistakes are not bad – they can help us learn.

Initially with a new student I would start off with general conversation in order to gauge your specific needs. Once we have determined those needs, with both your own and my input in the discussions I will progress to more structured lesson plans. I am patient, helpful and friendly with a wicked sense of humour... I am not overly sensitive to criticism from students, which makes it a lot easier for students to be comfortable in indicating their personal requirements for learning from me – in fact I aim to learn as much from my students as they learn from me.
