You will leave the meeting with a clear view of how to improve your English and also know if I'm the right teacher for you.  
I work with adult intermediate and advanced business and IT professionals because I have 30 years high level experience in these areas.

You will start to understand why so many English learners struggle to sound like native speakers.  during this lesson we'll assess your English levels, goals and develop a plan to become more fluent.  Your business English learning will be enhanced by my 30 years of high level business and the last two years of English teaching to IT and business professionals.
