About Me
italki teacher since Aug 27, 2018InterestsTechMedical & HealthcareLegal ServicesMarketingBusiness & Finance
š Ex-KPMG manager turned Business English coach with 20+ years of Fortune 500 experience. I train ambitious professionals to speak with clarity, credibility, and controlābecause fluency isnāt about memorizing scripts; itās about thinking in English.
For 8+ years online, Iāve coached thousands through:
ā Confidence breakdowns (stress kills fluency)
ā Pronunciation issues (even for near-natives)
ā High-context talk (finance, tech, lawāno filler)
From system rollouts to M&A chaos, Iāve lived the complexityāand I teach the English that gets you through it.Me as a Teacher
š¢ Across 25 years in consulting, engineering, and project delivery, I designed and led executive-level training for teams navigating change. Yes, I wrote the manuals.
š 8,000+ hours: Structured but adaptiveālike a strategy workshop.
My methodāThe 3C Model:
1ļøā£ Confidence šŖ: Stress cuts fluency by over 20%
2ļøā£ Clarity š£ļø: 46 US English sounds, precision-tuned
3ļøā£ Communication š¼: Real-world drills for your exact scenarios
Relentlessly practical. Zero fluff. I coach the way I trained execs: with pressure-tested tools and sharp feedback.My lessons & teaching style
š Verbose? Yes. Useful? Absolutely. My sessions are dense, direct, and deeply applied.
