About Me

** You decide your business English needs: I'll be a conversation tutor, a teacher, or a coach! **

I'm a senior, well rounded, well traveled and culture sensitive individual with people, technical, managerial and teaching skills. I have traveled around the world, I have lived overseas for more than 10 years in Europe, the Middle East, and Mexico. I have been working in English for 35 years with many people from different cultures. As you can see, I have a broad and varied experience.

I know how difficult and frustrating it can be not to be able to speak English effectively, especially if it interferes with doing business.

I teach business English; not only the language itself, but also HOW to use it when communicating with business customers, partners, suppliers, vendors, etc. I help YOU decide what you need to learn for your particular business environment based on your personal objectives. My teaching/coaching hourly rates are set accordingly (see below).

Simply knowing the English language is not sufficient to teach business English. Understanding and connecting with you, the student, on things that matter to you is equally important. Being able to efficiently deliver on what you want in an organized manner is key; your time and money are too important.

Learning a foreign language is challenging but should be fun and relevant. I strive and succeed to do just that. Get in touch with me, and let's get down to business!!
