Hi, my name is Kevin and I am a retired management consultant and engineer. I am American and currently living near Chicago, USA. I have been teaching or training in various topics for over 20 years in business and technical settings. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering as well as a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and a TEFL certificate. I was born and raised in the state of Michigan which lies in the middle of the country and which has a neutral American accent. I also speak intermediate Spanish and have studied French and German. I enjoy cycling, travel and movies.Me as a Teacher
I will customize my lessons for whatever goals you want to achieve in English. I prefer advanced students who already have a basic knowledge of English but who want to improve further in order to advance their careers. My specialty is technical and business English so some of the things I can help you with are: reading or writing business reports, delivering a speech or presentation, participating more effectively in meetings, or simply improving your management and communication skills.My lessons & teaching style
The first thing I will do is figure out how you can get the most value from our lessons, then I will customize a curriculum to achieve that. We can role play conversations, read and interpret business or technical reports, write a business report, practice listening and comprehension, or whatever area you feel you need to improve in. All the while I will help you to improve your grammar and pronunciation, expand your vocabulary and improve your communication skills in general.My teaching material

Management ConsultantTeaching and training was a big part of my job as a consultant. I have given hundreds of training sessions to mid and high level managers, supervisors, engineers and other staff. The topics ranged from technical training such as problem solving and statistical process control to management skills such as communication and giving feedback. My job also required a lot of one on one coaching, so I am trained to observe and tailor my approach to my clients (students) in order to maximize learning.
1986 - 1991
Systems EngineerAs part of the Environmental Control Systems team, I helped design, build and test the air conditioning systems on Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft.
