I hold a BA in English from the University of Exeter and am certified with a CELTA and a DELTA (Modules 1 and 3, specialising in Business English for Tech Professionals). With experience across private language institutions in Europe, North America, and the South Pacific, I've taught students from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Over the last 5 years, I have focused on coaching business professionals, tailoring Task-Based Learning methods to suit individual requirements for effective communication in the workplace. My approach not only enhances career prospects but also makes learning engaging, with practical advice for self-study.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are engaging, practical, and designed to build confidence. Many students start out feeling nervous about speaking, struggling to explain ideas, or unsure how to improve their pronunciation. After just a few lessons, they gain confidence, improve their clarity, and feel more comfortable speaking up in meetings.
I use Task-Based Learning to create lessons based on real-world workplace scenarios. You’ll practice delivering presentations, managing meetings, writing clear emails, and improving workplace conversations. Each lesson is fully tailored to your needs, with constructive feedback and actionable advice to help you apply what you learn immediately.My teaching material
