About Me
italki teacher since Sep 26, 2016InterestsWritingFilms & TV SeriesReadingBusiness & FinanceMarketing
I am an international businessman and former Master Business Analyst at Hewlett Packard. I have worked as a US Government contractor under SECRET Clearance and was formerly the PMO Manager for the Ministry of Interior of Saudi Arabia. I have traveled and taught all over the world and am now living in South America. I am a Project Management Institute PMP certified project manager, a Scrum Alliance certified Scrum Master, and a certified Business Analyst. I have taught for such companies as Verizon Wireless, Dow Chemical, Shell Oil, Halliburton, the Internal Revenue Service / the United States Department of the Treasury, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.Me as a Teacher
I have been an international project manager for over 35 years and beginning in 2008 I began teaching project management and business analysis all over the world. Most of my students didn't speak English as their second language. After marrying my USSR-born wife in 2014, it became obvious that I should teach English also because of all the people demanding it and I started that year.My lessons & teaching style
In the student's first lesson, I listen to their goals and establish their current English level. Based on the student's English level and goals, together we create a lesson plan for them that we will implement and monitor. Lessons include reading, writing, speaking, and multimedia.My teaching material

It was a great lesson! William gave me resources to learn useful idioms, slang and useful expressions (books, etc.). He also gave me feedback on different aspects of my English which is good! It was nice to meet him and learn useful conversational English as I don't have a job at the moment and I'm a university student. I hope to see him soon again!

Lots of swearing, more four-letter words than any other. I recommend watching the videos from the teacher podcast which are closer to his expression in class, rather than the promo record on Italki.
