Hi. To learn more about me, I invite you to view my Introduction Video :)
When I'm not teaching English, I'm a business consultant living in Toronto, Canada. My clients include senior leaders from academic institutions, corporations, as well as professional business coaches. I've lived in Japan, Taiwan, and I've studied many languages including French, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and most recently Spanish. I enjoy listening to podcasts, as well as creating them, and I also enjoy learning new languages and meeting new people.Che tipo di insegnante sono
As a teacher, my focus is on my students. In my professional life, I host a variety of podcasts, and I am comfortable creating fun, entertaining classes that help your English really improve.
Also, as a business consultant, I have extensive experience in business and the corporate world. For my Business English students, I use my business knowledge to help you gain confidence in speaking and understanding English. I understand how important it is to speak effectively and confidently in business, and that is where I can really help you. Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
Each class is centered on you.
For my Business English students who want to sound professional and confident, my classes can include sales English, management English, negotiation in English, and giving presentations in English, so that you can be confident in every business situation.
For my non-business English students, we look at movies, Netflix, and we can practice scenes from actual movie scripts to improve your fluency and vocabulary, and is also really fun!
All of my classes are fun, and focus on your English goals.
For my non-business students, we can focus on your conversation, discussing a wide range of topics that you find interesting. And most of all, we will have fun!Il mio materiale didattico

I’ve been working with Pat to elevate my English to a more professional and confident level, and the experience has been truly transformative.
Our sessions are highly interactive, built around role-play, structured Q&A, pronunciation work, and real-time feedback. What makes the difference is not only the corrections, but the precision of the observations. The feedback is clear, actionable, and immediately applicable.
One of the most valuable insights was identifying my tendency to speak too fast in an attempt to sound fluent. Slowing down has significantly improved my clarity, presence, and confidence. That awareness alone has changed how I communicate.
If you're looking to refine your professional English with depth, structure, and strategic feedback, I highly recommend working with Pat.
