About Me

Hi everyone! My name is Shane; I’m both a British and South African national and consider the world my home.My teaching is focused at B1-C2 level and I am currently teaching both business professionals and class students. I have completed my TEFL/TESOL & Grammar specialist with distinction. I am also in my final year of my BSc in Information Technology systems, and have numerous other qualifications completed over the years. I have been training and teaching students, staff I have managed, and clients I have done business with for over ten years in sales, business, retail, management, hospitality & technology.
I have lived in England, USA, South Africa & Turkey. I have worked Internationally, which has taken me throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Recently I have decided to focus on giving my experience and knowledge to students who want to take their English and their future success to a higher level.
I am teaching not just the basics of English, but also the real everyday practical use of English in work, sales, technology and aviation fields. I understand the challenges of learning a new language as I am now learning Turkish myself. Learning a new language for personal use is great, learning a new language for professional use is the next step I want to help you with.
So if you need to polish your business communication, develop your fluency for a new career, build your confidence to take those next steps and walk away with a higher level of fluency in “International English”, then I am looking forward to working with you!
Please feel free to contact me at anytime as I would welcome being able to help not just with the teaching of English, but also how and what language to use, and when to use it in the day to day professional fields.

All the best!
