About Me
italki teacher since Jun 30, 2020Interest topicScienceMedical & HealthcareTravelFoodFilms & TV Series
Hello! I'm Neil from Boca Raton, Florida, the United States. I was born in Thailand and moved to the US when I was young. I'm bilingual and speak both English and Thai fluently. I'm passionate about learning and teaching languages. I studied Mandarin Chinese in high school, and now I'm learning German.
I have quite a broad academic background as it took me a while to discover my passion. I have a BS degree in chemical engineering from the University of Florida. I also attended medical school in Las Vegas, Nevada, for 1.5 years, and studied economics at the University of Zurich. Recently, I have completed an MSc Neuroscience degree at King's College London and passed with distinction.Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching English as a second/foreign language since 2019. I was a freelance English instructor for corporates and governmental organizations in Prague from 2019-2020. Some of the organizations I taught at include the National Cyber and Information Security Agency, the Customs Administration, and the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting of the Czech Republic.
I received my CELTA certification after training at International House Prague in 2019, and I apply the methodology I learned in my standard English lessons.My lessons & teaching style
I am specialized in conversational lessons for intermediate & advanced students, although I'm also available for the standard textbook-based lessons covering all skills as well as business English lessons. I'd previously worked in a Fortune 500 company in the US so I have firsthand experience in Corporate America.
My conversational lessons can be based on either reading materials or videos. They can also be freestyle conversations centered around a chosen topic.
I am very flexible in terms of teaching styles, and my lessons are personalized based on your needs!Certificates

I just finished doing a mock interview for an internal medicine resident matching with Neil today. That is so helpful. Neil made me familiar with the interview atmosphere.
-Asked me many good questions
-Provided me feedback and comments on what I did well and what I should improve.
He corrected my pronunciation, evaluated the quality of my answers, and gave some ideas to improve my answers.
I highly recommend him to everyone who would like to prepare for the mock interview.
