À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 27 Sep 2019Sujets d'intérêtEnvironnement et natureSantéVoyagesFinanceMusique
I help business professionals who have been having difficulty in their interactions with foreign colleagues become more effective oral and written communicators.
I spent a decade working as a packaging specialist for international corporations in various manufacturing industries, including automotive (Toyota), personal care (Alberto-Culver), food (Barilla pasta), & durable goods (Weber grills). As an engineer, I collaborated with people around the world in numerous fields such as accounting, marketing, procurement, law & regulations, & product development.
In 2018 I paid off my student loans, and I decided to retire from engineering to focus on teaching.

I understand the value of clear and concise communication across the business world. As a language consultant, I’ve coached a myriad of business and medical professionals from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East including engineers, project managers, salespeople, nurses, and even doctors!
Students have complimented me for my passion, professionalism, attention to detail, and the way I guide them. I appreciate it when students can identify improvements and make necessary corrections on their own.
I came to italki to expand the reach of my services and to meet new & interesting people… So, please tell me... Where are you from? What do you do?Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
What are your unique hobbies? Knowing what interests you outside of work (even if you’re not an adrenaline junkie, like me) will allow us to have enjoyable well-balanced conversations while achieving specific objectives. For example, we might start a session sharing recent travel experiences before pouring over the details of a technical document or going through a vocabulary expansion exercise.
In my sessions, you’ll tend to focus on productive English communication skills (i.e. speaking & writing). My services are not limited to those mentioned so please feel free to contact me with your specific needs!Mes ressources d'enseignement

Amelia to the rescue! :D
I've had this spontaneous urge to apply for a specific job this week and as soon as I took a look at my resume, I immediately knew I would need to book a lesson with Amelia.
With this impeccable grammar and refreshing perspective, she can always make anyone's resume look exceptionally good.
Thank you again, Amelia. You're awesome!

It's always so happy to share my recent life with Amelia. I can learn correct and native expressions in this process. Amelia is such a good listener that I'd like to discuss everything happened on me or in my country. Look forward to our next lesson.

Another excellent lesson with teacher Amelia. We made some changes to my resume to include some keywords from the job description I’m applying for. She also suggested to include a summary. I feel more confident about my resume now than ever before! :)
Looking forward to our next lessons!
