👋 Hi, I’m Ray — a certified English coach with 10+ years of turning hesitant speakers into confident communicators. My MBA and Marketing Diploma fuel my specialty: **Business English that wins deals, IELTS prep that crushes scores, and fluency coaching for real-life impact**. Whether you’re negotiating contracts, prepping for exams, or exploring new cultures, I’ll equip you with the precise language and confidence to thrive. Students call my classes “game-changing” — because we skip theory and focus on **results you can use tomorrow**. Ready to speak like the pro you are? Let’s start with a trial! 🚀Me as a Teacher
Expect targeted coaching in Academic & Business English: sharp emails, persuasive pitches, and clear presentations. I’ll guide you step-by-step in writing essays, theses, and proposals, using proven frameworks. You’ll receive precise, actionable feedback (never just “good job”). Lessons are relaxed yet goal-oriented, where mistakes fuel progress. Whether preparing for a promotion, studying abroad, or exploring ideas in depth, I’ll design a path that fits your goals. Ready to make English your super-skill? Let’s begin! My lessons & teaching style
Each session is a strategy meeting for your English goals. I combine communicative and task-based methods with focused drills, giving you: real-world speaking tasks tailored to your life and work, line-by-line feedback on grammar and pronunciation, and exercises that lock in new language fast. Lessons adapt to your pace—intensive when you’re ready, lighter when work gets busy. Every activity is chosen to turn knowledge into confident, fluent performance. Ready to level up?
