*Please note: I only teach adults*. Hello! I'm Julian from South Africa. I have a 420-hour TEFL Diploma (Level 5). I specialise in Business English, Job Interview Preparation and Conversational Fluency. I mostly focus on helping working professionals who struggle to express their ideas clearly in business and social situations. My effective methods and system will enable you to both speak and think in English.
Many of my students have shared their success stories after having classes with me. Some of these stories include being able to do a presentation in English for the first time, participating effectively in business meetings, closing a deal in a negotiation and passing a job interview.

Me as a Teacher
I am a professional and patient teacher who can easily adapt to the needs of my students and immediately identify problem areas in your communication that needs improvement.
I offer constructive feedback which helps you to improve from lesson to lesson. One of my strengths is the ability to listen attentively to the student's specific needs and create a plan for them to achieve their desired goals. Every goal will be measurable.
My ability to ask relevant and thought-provoking questions in the classroom will challenge you to think critically and creatively in my lessons.
My lessons & teaching style
Every class has a different structure depending on your needs. A usual class follows a 3-part structure:
1. Vocabulary building (learning topic-based vocabulary to prepare you for discussions and simulations)
2. Discussion (building fluency based on the topic-based vocabulary you have learned)
3. Tasks/simulations/roleplaying (using the topic-based vocabulary in real-life situations)

Speak Business English with clarity and confidence!
Over the past four months, Julian helped me prepare for my interview with one of the biggest airlines in the world. At the same time, I had an ICAO English exam that I needed to pass in order to keep my piloting licence. Julian was able to successfully assist me with both the exam and the interview. My exam results were better than 3 years before and I also successfully passed every round of the interviews and now I will be working for a company that I have dreamed of working for since I have been a child! This is a dream come true for me and my family. Julian is an organised and effective tutor. He is always well prepared for every class and is able to offer effective strategies to answer each interview question. I have continued to have classes with him after the interview because I want to continuously improve my English level. Highly recommended.

Julian is a nice,friendly and professional teacher who will definitely help you improve english speaking. I just got a band 7.5 in ielts on March 2 with a 6.5 in speaking (reading 9,listening 8.5 and writing 6.5) I feel more comfortable to speak english after taking classed with Julian.👍
Julian老师人很好,可以根据自己的需要请老师安排内容,很有针对性。上了一段时间课以后去考了雅思,口语没发挥好也拿了6.5🤣推荐推荐

I have been having English lessons with Julian for the past few months. I work in the retail industry in China and was recently promoted .My improved level of English, as a result of Julian's teaching, helped me get this promotion and will also help me to communicate effectively in my new position. All of Julian's classes are well-structured and have a clear goal. I recommend his Business English classes.

O Julian é um ótimo profissional e tem uma energia fantástica. Fez-me perguntas muito pertinentes e adaptadas à posição para a qual estou a concorrer, ajudando-me a melhorar as minhas respostas. Ele organizou todo o conteúdo da aula de forma exemplar, o que me permitiu maximizar o valor retirado da sua ajuda. No final, fiquei muito mais confiante e melhor preparado para a minha entrevista. Muito obrigado, Julian!
