About Me
I'm an IELTS coach with a business and engineering background. I work with intermediate and advanced students. My aim is to get my students speaking as much as possible about the things that interest them. I have traveled to many countries in my previous occupation as a senior engineer in a global manufacturing company. I used to interview engineers and was an assessment centre assessor.
When I'm not teaching English I instruct adventurous activities and coach sports. I have also written two books and I'm working on the third one.
