Su di me
Specialities: Academic English, Business English, and Advanced Conversational English.
I also offer courses in Academic Philosophy and Critical Thinking too! Up to a 50% discount on philosophy courses.
Do you wish that you could excel in meetings or negotiations? Do feel you have so much to say, but you just don't have the precise words you need? Are you bored of learning how to talk about the weather?
Let me help you get there. With a career in English Training approaching eight years, I have come to understand one key fact. Lessons need to be catered to the student. We all have different goals, different strengths and different needs. If you want to take to the next level, you can't do it alone. You need a teacher who is able to identify and work with your needs, your strengths and your goals. Not a teacher who lectures, but a teacher who collaborates with you.
In my long career I have taught a variety of subjects, to a variety of levels, in many different countries and contexts. My adaptability is key strength that I bring to my classes.
Beyond teaching English, with a background in philosophy, so you can be sure that our classes will never be boring, will never be ordinary.
Let's work together to get you to the next level.
