About Me

Hello, I’m Robert. I help most anyone who wants to improve their English, but I specialize in helping doctors, nurses, and other medical, business, and I.T. professionals, and students. Whether you are going to work in or visit the USA or another English-speaking country, are taking the OET exams, book a lesson with me. I've been a psychiatric and medical nurse, as well as a nursing instructor at a college in Miami, USA, and a business owner. Now, I’m working from Bangkok, Thailand. I love teaching and engaging people. I've been to over 50 countries and territories, maybe yours! Also, I've visited all 50 US states!Me as a Teacher
My strongest point is that I can explain things. I try to be patient with people in every situation. Whether presentations, accent reduction, speaking and writing tests, or interviews–I can help you understand the situation. I have fast Internet with multiple monitors, and subscriptions to Microsoft, Adobe, Grammarly, the New York Times, and the the Wall Street Journal. Through my long experience and several careers, I know specialized English vocabulary in many areas. These include medicine, as well as business, IT, construction, law, and real estate. I've helped many students learn to read, understand, pronounce, take exams, write papers, and present in allMy lessons & teaching style
I OK offer several teaching styles as shown in my lessons. General English, job interviews, writing–CVs, resumes, personal statements, essays, journal articles, any kind of writing. I do role-play for job interviews and health care professionals seeing their patients, such as doctors and nurses. I help with OET exams. If you would like a general lesson, we can have general conversation with feedback from me. You read articles on screen, get feedback on pronunciation, and I answer your vocabulary questions. I offer several lesson types, but you can get any service on any lesson type . Book a lesson today!My teaching material

Robert is the one of best teachers I’ve met in iTalki. With his wide range of knowledge in business especially in IT, he helped me a lot to prepare my job interview. I highly recommend this teacher for sharpening your english conversation skills as well as job interview skill.

Robert didn't show up for this lesson on the time I booked, then he didnt show up for another two, he set for me himself. I've waisted almost three hours waiting for him. I can't recommend this teacher.
