Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 17 Apr 2020InterestsITMuziekHistory
I am a professional teacher. I specialize in English for business and exam preparation for intermediate and advanced adult learners.
I come from Oxford in the UK and I am a native speaker with a standard, southern British accent. I have a university degree in Engineering and Management as well as a Cambridge-accredited qualification in teaching English to adults.
For over 30 years I had a successful career in business - in sales, marketing and management.
I have worked for a wide range of companies in the UK, Europe and North America - from small start-ups to multi-national companies - dealing with information technology, telecommunications and electronics.Ik als leerkracht
I became a qualified teacher as I really enjoy helping people to develop new skills.
I have learnt foreign languages myself and I know how difficult it can be - so my teaching style is friendly, supportive and motivational.
I believe this creates a productive learning environment which is enjoyable for both the student and the teacher.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Based on an assessment of current ability combined with the learner’s personal aims, each lesson has a specific objective.
I use a broad and interesting range of content for lessons - including authentic material from the learner’s business/industry - so that the language is highly practical and relevant to the student’s needs.
You will also learn about the cultural and formality aspects of living, doing business or studying in an English-speaking country.Mijn lesmateriaal

Teaching Business English via italki - italki experience - 2024Most of my career - in fact, for over 35 years - I actually worked in business. My roles included senior management positions within a variety of businesses - from start-ups to FTSE-100 listed blue-chip corporations. As such, my experience of the use of English in a business context actually comes from a use of the language in real situations - namely: meetings, presentations, negotiations, interviews; and interaction with colleagues and customers. Over 800 business English lessons on italki.

He is so gentle and has really good memories. I am so surprised that he remembered me and my family. He is so experienced on English teaching skills, and I love his teaching style so much.
