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?
