Already know English but still don’t feel confident speaking? I can help.
Hi, I’m Dr Edwin (Eddy). I’m a PhD-qualified, TESOL-certified communication coach with 18+ years of experience helping people improve their speaking and soft skills.
Growing up in multilingual Singapore shaped how I see language—not just as grammar, but as a way of thinking and expressing identity. I bring that into my lessons to help you speak more naturally, clearly, and confidently.
I’ve worked with learners from diverse backgrounds, including over a decade as a university lecturer in Media and Communication in Australia. I’ve also designed communication and wellbeing workshops for schools and organisations, and published work in related fields.
My focus goes beyond English accuracy. We also develop self-awareness and emotional intelligence (EQ), so you can communicate more effectively in academic, professional, and everyday contexts.
I work with teenage and adult learners who want to use English for real communication: conversation, presentations, interviews, academic prep, and personal expression. PLEASE NOTE: I am not suitable to teach beginner's and children under 16.
We use media, storytelling, and AI tools to make learning practical and engaging. Instead of memorised answers, we explore how you can express your own experiences, values, and strengths with clarity and authenticity.
Let’s help you find your authentic voice in English.Certificaten
