About Me
italki teacher since Mar 26, 2022Interest topic
Taking a communicative approach, I am full of energy and have both business and teaching experience to share within my lessons. Having worked for major telecoms and retail businesses within the UK in senior management positions for over 15 years, I have gained a valuable insight into various business sectors and all the main functions (HR/Finance/Sales/Management)
For over 11 years I have transferred my skills into teaching and now have a vast experience in supporting students via across many countries.
Away from work I am a family man and enjoy supporting my children in numerous activities. As for me, I am passionate about cycling and more recently started to learn to play the drums.Me as a Teacher
My time with students is always focused on their individual goals, and I amend my lesson contents to ensure these goals are met. To-date, I have had lots of success supporting students in:
- holding practice interview sessions for future employment (Sharing my knowledge gained from 15 years of the recruitment process within the UK, including both competency interviews and assessment centres)
- gaining a better understanding and use of Business English
- rewriting a CV/Resume into English
- using articles, books and relevant news content to support and grow vocabulary
- holding conversational classes to gain confidence in speaking and listeningMy lessons & teaching style
My natural style is to coach and motivate and this has proven to be successful in both business and teaching. By building professional relationships built on trust, respect and honest constructive feedback I have seen students quickly overcome their language barriers and speak freely and confidently.
Lessons are built around an initial “small talk” practice – which within business can be just as critical as the main topic – and then moving to supporting materials which I will provide to support students.
Alternatively, many times students will want to practice on real life events (such as presentations – conferences – interviews) and I will act as a role play for these situations.My teaching material
