CELTA-qualified Business English specialist with 500+ hours of corporate teaching experience, helping professionals master the language of interviews, negotiations, and workplace communication.
My background in small business development (advising 2,500+ entrepreneurs) means I understand exactly how language barriers impact careers—and how to fix them.
Whether you’re preparing for a job interview, writing emails to clients, or pitching ideas in meetings, I’ll give you the vocabulary, fluency, and cultural tips to sound confident and polished.
Book a trial to discuss your goals!Me as a Teacher
I teach ambitious professionals who need English for:
- Job interviews (especially in tech, finance, or entrepreneurship).
- Workplace communication (emails, meetings, presentations).
- Document polishing (resumes, reports—ask about my proofreading add-on!).
Lessons blend real-world scenarios (mock interviews, email edits) with actionable feedback—so you gain confidence fast.My lessons & teaching style
✨ Sample Business English Lesson:
1. Warm-up: Discuss your career goals (e.g., "I need to negotiate contracts in English").
2. Skill Drill: Role-play a workplace scenario (e.g., client call) or dissect a real email/report you’ve written.
3. Feedback: Laser-focused corrections + cultural tips (e.g., "In the US, say ‘I’d suggest...’ instead of ‘You must...’").
4. Homework: Optional tasks like "Record a 1-minute elevator pitch."
Bonus: Submit documents (emails, resumes) before class for live editing—a unique service combining my CELTA training + NYC business background.My teaching material
