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.

Relentlessly practical. Zero fluff. I coach the way I trained execs: with pressure-tested tools and sharp feedback. My lessons & teaching style

Jacob has been a key part of my professional growth. Since starting lessons with him, Iāve become more confident, calm, and expressive in the workplace than ever before. He has also guided me in preparing for specific speeches and meetings, helping with not only the words but also intonation, emotion, and pauses. Jacob is more than a teacherāheās a master of his craft, highly professional, and generous with his knowledge. I highly recommend him!
