🙋♂️Hello and Welcome! 🙋♂️
My name is Gary and I am a native English speaker from the UK with over 20 years of experience in both business and teaching. I have worked in both Legal and Compliance in the Banking/Financial Services and also the Entertainment Industries (Music and Film) so I understand the language and communication skills needed for professionals across a variety of sectors.
I love working with motivated students who are ready to improve their English for work, study, and real-life conversations. My business, legal and training background allows me to bring real-world professional experience into my lessons — perfect for anyone who needs English for career development.Me as a Teacher
✍️ Teaching Experience ✍️
I am TEFL qualified and have previously taught English and German to students in Moscow, Russia.
I have also managed training teams in banking/ financial services, running courses on legal compliance but also on English language development for teams based offshore in India and Poland such as effective communication, giving better presentations and speaking with confidence.
As such, I have extensive experience to help you develop your professional English, be it training executives, for your career advancement, to learn specialist Legal/ Business/ Marketing/ Professional vocabulary, or to develop your fluency and confidence in a work environment.
