Work Experience
2011 - 2012
Business English InstructorI taught Business and Conversational English to adult professionals in high-tech companies including Logitech, Micron, Kingston, TSMC and other global companies. 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. General conversation topics included travel, daily life, hobbies & interests, and making small talk.
2012 - 2015
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.
2019 - 2023
Online Business English InstructorAfter leaving Taiwan, I have continued to teach students online while living in Europe and traveling wherever my curiosity takes me.

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.

Really enjoy the class with Deb. She is super nice and very professional and knowledgable. In addition to help me improve my pronunciation and speaking, I also learnt a lot about US culture and society from her. Will definitely continue to have class with Deb.
