Topics included interviewing, presentations & public speaking, meetings, sales & negotiation, email & report writing, and travel topics like ordering at a restaurant, making appointments, giving/receiving directions, and booking hotels.

Business English InstructorITI is a prestigious government-run school under Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs, and it offers Business Administration certificates to adult students who already have at least a Bachelor's degree. As an instructor, I taught advanced-level business-related English classes including Business Reading & Discussion, Email Writing, Job Search & Interviewing, Presentations, Meetings, Negotiation, Cultural Awareness, Internship Prep, and general reading, writing, listening, and speaking courses.
2015 - 2016
Business English InstructorI was recruited back to David's English Center, and I taught Business and Conversational English to adult professionals in high-tech companies just like I did before. In addition to Business English classes, I was also a lecturer at companies to teach employees global business culture, as well as advanced spoken and written communication skills. I taught in a multi-national environment with companies from the US, Taiwan, China, Japan, and South Korea.
2016 - 2019
Business English InstructorAfter five years living and working in Taiwan, I became a Permanent Resident and could be self-employed, so I went out independently and contracted directly with companies like Logitech, Winbond, Tokyo Electron, Kingston, Trividia Health, and others to teach group English classes and do 1:1 tutoring for employees. Topics included business and general conversation, as well as listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. I was in such high demand that I had a waiting list.

Bachelor’s - Business & PsychologyAfter getting as Associate's degree in Psychology from a 2-year college, I went to the University of Idaho for my Bachelor's. I loved both Psychology and Business, so I was able to do an Interdisciplinary program to get a degree that combined both interests.

I took several lessons to prepare for the interview and they were very helpful.
Deborah approaches each lesson very professionally and in the end you receive not only help with pronunciation and vocabulary, but you can speak more naturally and form phrases correctly. Also she gives you very important advice on how best to present yourself to companies and answer their questions.

I love my sessions with Deborah. I am an advanced English speaker, and I work, draft and communicate in English almost daily. It was hard to find a teacher for my specific needs to perfect my English, both for speaking and writing, but Deborah is what you would need. She is very patient and detail-oriented. I would highly recommend her lessons.
