I'm a senior surgeon. I had the pleasure of working with Teacher Duane to prepare for my medical interviews, and I highly recommend him to other medical professionals. His approach is not only professional but also tailored to the unique challenges of the healthcare field. Duane provided insightful feedback on my responses, helping me refine my answers to be clear, concise, and impactful. He understands the patient-centered care, which made our sessions particularly valuable. With Duane's guidance, I felt more confident and well-prepared. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert help with interview skills.

Absolutely amazing teacher. Duane helped me to prepare for PWC executive interview. He prepared a lot of information beforehand on the company, on the market and my interviewer and shared it with me. I was totally shocked and never seen anything like that before. Thank you! 🙏🏻

It was a very useful class before my job interview, highlighting precisely those little details that can perfect one's performance in such a situation. The atmosphere of the class was also excellent, I can only recommend it to everyone!

I am an editor for a major global magazine, and I think Duane is the best teacher I have ever come across. Every lesson with Duane reminds me of the movie Flying Colors, where the teacher is dedicated to helping the student achieve her dream. Duane helps me in every situation I encounter in the dramatic life I experience. And his secret for interviews is something you must try — it can change your perspective on interviews. Trust him, learn from him, and you will achieve what you desire.

I’ve just completed a session with Duane, and it was one of the most insightful interview lessons I’ve ever experienced. His guidance on handling tough questions, managing communication conflicts, and structuring responses goes far beyond typical interview tips — it feels like learning from someone who truly understands both sides of the table. Even after months of preparation, I came away with new perspectives that immediately made sense and boosted my confidence. Duane doesn’t just teach how to answer questions; he helps you think, respond, and communicate like a professional. It genuinely felt like I had been taking classes with him for a year—all in one powerful lesson. I highly recommend his sessions to anyone who wants to elevate their interview performance.

I’m an expat with a professional background in recruiting, and I was looking not just for an English teacher but a coach to help me prepare for job interviews. My goal was to gain more confidence in speaking, improve my presentation, and practice answering questions about my professional experience. Duane was exactly the right person. He helped me refine my answers, boost my confidence, and learn how to keep the interviewer’s attention. After just three classes, I already feel significant progress. I highly recommend Duane if you’re preparing for interviews and want a teacher who can guide you with both language and strategy.
