TEFL Certified English Teacher | Writer | Sales Professional Hi! I'm Brett, a native English speaker from the Chicago area with several years of experience helping adults improve their English communication skills. I've worked with students from around the world and enjoy helping people become more confident speakers, whether their goal is everyday conversation, travel, professional communication, interviews, or simply sounding more natural in English. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in sales and business development, including real estate and IT solutions. I also work professionally as a writer, which gives me a strong understanding of communication, vocabulary, and effective English usage. My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and customized to your goals. I believe students learn best when they're comfortable, engaged, and discussing topics that genuinely interest them. Some of my interests include: • American culture • Literature and writing • Music and singing • Fitness and nutrition • Travel • Food • Video games • Current events I specialize in teaching adults (18+) from the A2-C2 levels. Whether you'd like to improve your conversation skills, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, or overall confidence, I'll help you develop practical English that you can use in real life. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals.

Brett is a great teacher, and I’m learning so much from him, not only about English but also about business and sales. His strong background in both English and sales makes him the perfect teacher for me. I truly appreciate all the time and effort he puts into every lesson. He often joins the meeting a few minutes early and sometimes stays beyond the scheduled lesson time to finish explaining a point and ensure that all my questions are answered. Thank you so much, Brett!

Just finished another Business English session with Brett. Today we had a different type of session, as I’m preparing for a Sales interview, and as always, it was very productive. The session helped me improve the way I answer interview questions in a more natural and confident way. Thanks, Brett!

Today’s Business English class was fantastic! I learned a lot about how to structure a discovery call in English and how to sound professional while still sounding natural. Practicing open-ended and follow-up questions really boosted my confidence and helped me speak more fluently. I also learned a lot of new vocabulary and useful expressions for sales conversations that I can use in real-life situations. Overall, it was an engaging, practical, and enjoyable session. I’m leaving feeling much more confident and excited to continue improving my Business English skills! Thank you Brett!
