Do you want to travel abroad? Do you want more opportunities and more money at work? I'm your guy!
I’m Seth, an English specialist helping professionals and travelers speak clearly and confidently, for more than 11 years.
I enjoy eating, drinking, cooking, nature, hiking, traveling, and learning languages. When I was a young man, I traveled the world teaching English. I lived in Taipei, Korea, and Chile, before moving into online teaching. Since becoming a nomad in 2020, I have visited Mexico, Peru, Greece, California, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Germany, and more!
I also am a collaborator at the Aandego podcast for language students.Me as a Teacher
Whether you’re prepping for a business meeting or a trip abroad, I make lessons for your real-life needs—grammar, pronunciation, and conversational fluency.
Want to get better at English? My specialties are:
- Travel English, anything you might need for your trip. I can help you handle real-life travel scenarios like flying, checking into hotels, and buying tickets. Oh and I can teach you how to navigate those awkward Uber conversations. :)
- Conversation Skills, fluency, intonation and gaining vocabulary.
- Business English, the skills you need for the office. My lessons & teaching style
I'm an open-eared compassionate teacher with a conversational style. I love hearing about students and their lives!
Writing, Reading, speaking, listening and culture are all vital. In my classes we primarily deal with Travel, Conversational English, and Professional Situations.My teaching material
