Bio

Business English, IELTS/TOEFL

I conduct a Placement Test and/or Needs Analysis to help determine your current level of English fluency and understand your wants and needs. We have to know both where you are and where you want to be to create a lesson plan to reach your goals. This is free of charge.

While in my third year of university, I was called up to military service. Because I was preparing for a career in education, I was trained to design curriculum and teach.

One of my strongest assets is an understanding of the adult learner. While I was within three semesters of completing my degree, I spent the next nearly 12 years attending classes on nights and weekends, while raising a family and working full-time.

At age thirty, I found myself working in South America. Prior to this, I spoke no Spanish. I have an understanding of and empathy for those who are trying to acquire a foreign language, as an adult. I know what it is like to have the thoughts and ideas of a 30-year old, but the speaking ability of a 3-year old!

As the Managing Partner of an advertising and marketing communications firm, I have a deep understanding of western-style business.

I understand what it is like to be an adult learner of a foreign language! I am ready to help you.
