Do you want to speak English confidently—whether at work, while traveling, or helping your child learn? With 8+ years as a TEFL/TESOL-certified teacher, I specialize in Business English for Professionals and Interactive ESL for kids.
For adults, I focus on real-world fluency—from meetings to small talk. I draw upon my experience as a sales professional in the US, and as an ex-pat educator. I use highly developed lessons in Conversation for Adults to give real world practice speaking to a native. I am comfortable talking about all topics.
For children, I make lessons fun and engaging. Materials are visually attractive and designed to help children grow their language skills.

Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I focus on relating the material to real world situations or examples. I want to provide you with context to help cement our English practice allowing you to produce it later independently.
I have been teaching English full time since 2017 with over 7000 25-minute lessons for children and over 2000 hours with adults. I have a TEFL, a TESOL, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. I also have a Bachelors of Science degree in Meteorology from The Pennsylvania State University, USA. I also have other professional experience doing sales in New York City.
My lessons & teaching style
I use a step by step curriculum which is ideal for students aged 13+. It covers a wide variety of topics and is designed to get you speaking and reading for most of the lesson. My goal with all students is to have you read and speak 70% of the lesson to connect you to the material and maximize your practice. My lessons are visual, engaging, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
My interactive ESL lessons engage with videos and songs and are perfect for a 30 minute lesson. If your child is already more advanced we can read stories, or read and discuss other topics of interest using Reading A-Z and Epic's wide library. They are encouraged to ask questions to help make conversation.

Amazing English Lessons with Adam!
Adam is an exceptional English teacher, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him.
Every lesson is not only productive but also engaging and enjoyable.
He has a great sense of humor, is incredibly patient, and always creates a comfortable atmosphere for conversation and learning.
He’s also very encouraging, which has really boosted my confidence in speaking English.
Since starting lessons with Adam, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my fluency and comprehension.
I genuinely look forward to each of our sessions.
If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, and truly effective English teacher, I can’t recommend Adam highly enough!
Thank you, Adam, for making learning English such a rewarding experience!

Wonderful teacher. What I like most is that he gives exactly the vocabulary that is used in the USA, and explains why and how Americans speak
