I taught in a multi-national environment with companies from the US, Taiwan, China, Japan, and South Korea.

Topics included business and general conversation, as well as listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. I was in such high demand that I had a waiting list.

I took several lessons to prepare for the interview and they were very helpful.
Deborah approaches each lesson very professionally and in the end you receive not only help with pronunciation and vocabulary, but you can speak more naturally and form phrases correctly. Also she gives you very important advice on how best to present yourself to companies and answer their questions.
