I specialize in business English and IELTS test preparation and also have excellent experience teaching all levels of general English skills.
During my business career I worked as a systems accountant, IT project manager and finally as a business analyst. I delivered high profile projects and have reported and presented at the board of directors level. As such I have very real world business English and knowledge to share with my students.
My background enables me to teach language specific to:
*** Accounting, Banking, Business Process Re-engineering, Finance, Interviews, Presentations, Project Management, Sales & Marketing and the Stock Market.
As regards IELTS test preparation I have real classroom experience and have helped many students improve their IELTS band.
I always use real exam material and have spent a lot of time getting to know the finer details of IELTS, as a result I have many top tips and advice so my students can achieve their best possible IELTS band.
I have been teaching English in Thailand for over eight years, I have taught at a university, language centers and also as a Corporate English Instructor teaching business English onsite at companies in and around Bangkok.
I especially enjoy helping my students with their speaking and pronunciation, so in our lessons we will spend a good amount of time on improving your ability to speak fluently.
I have a very calm and patient style and I teach at a pace that suits each individual learner.
I can genuinely say that I have always been popular with my students.
I have a 4 year Management Studies degree and a UK 140 hour combined TEFL certificate.
I look forward to teaching you soon : )
