Hi. 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 studies 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.Ik als leerkracht
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. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
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!Mijn lesmateriaal
