Hi Everyone,
This is Shahyan from London.
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND-15 years in Human Resources (Talent Management/ Training and Development).Mentoring and Training professionals in Interview techniques,Presentation skills, Meetings, Stakeholder communication,Business language and Career couching.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE - Certified English Teacher for over 5 years. I assist students with full spectrum of language improvement including Context, Context based Vocabulary, Grammar, Pronunciation and Accent reduction.
An avid reader with interest in a variety of topics such as History,Arts,Sociology,Philosophy,Psychology,Technology,Economics,Literature,Geo-Politocs and Cultural trendsMe as a Teacher
Previously taught in language centres in Canada and South Korea. I now only teach online.
ITALKI REVIEWS-Any one looking to improve their BUSINESS ENGLISH for the purpose of NEW EMPLOYMENT or to excel in their current position, please review dozens of reviews given to me by professionals globally from various backgrounds.
ENGLISH for LIFE-Anyone looking to improve their communication for any purpose,will find my lessons Engaging,Intriguing,Fun and Progressive.I tailor lessons based on your specific gaps and structure them with respect to your goals, weaknesses and most importantly with topics which interest you.As no one learns when the topic of discussion is boring :)My lessons & teaching style
BUSINESS ENGLISH-I divide these lessons into long term and short term goals.
SHORT TERM goals are where I can coach you today on a particular task or function, and you can go apply that tomorrow at work(Meetings,Presentations,Stakeholder
interaction,Negotiations,Interviews etc).
LONG TERM goals could include your general command in formal & informal settings.
CONVERSATION & COLLOQUIAL-The only way to elevate your communication level is to challenge you with topics difficult and new to you.This exposes you to more grammatical mistakes,identifies gaps and lack of vocabulary.I use Paraphrasing to demonstrate how what you are trying to say could be made more articulate and eloquent.My teaching material

Two years ago, I started learning English on italki with Shahyan as my first teacher. At that time, I struggled greatly with pronunciation and understanding, and my English was barely comprehensible. Shahyan’s critical and attentive teaching style, combined with his strong focus on detail, helped me make immense progress in a very short time. His feedback was incredibly valuable, and now I have a high level of confidence and practice in the English language. Thank you so much for that!

After five lessons with Shahyan, I have noticed a remarkable improvement in my English interview skills. Shahyan is not only a knowledgeable and patient teacher, but also a great motivator who always encourages me to express myself confidently. His lessons are well-structured, practical, and tailored to my needs, which has made every session both enjoyable and effective.
Over time, we have also developed a wonderful friendship, and I truly appreciate his support and kindness.I am deeply grateful to Shahyan for his dedication and to italki for offering such an amazing platform. I am confident that the skills and confidence I have gained will benefit me for years to come.
