About Me
I teach dynamic, focused Business English classes using dynamic, engaging and relevant content that will help you to build your vocabulary and gain confidence with speaking English. I specialize in helping you take your English skills to the next level with personalised English coaching with proven results!
I provide fast paced, interesting lessons matched to your CFR level and we will work on improving areas of vocabulary, listening skills via audio recordings or short video presentations and worksheet content in the online classroom that gets you thinking about new sets of vocabulary words and how to use them in context. There is plenty of opportunity for discussion and for you to practice your conversational skills as well as error and pronunciation correction!
I teach focused Business English classes based on student needs analysis to students working for multinationals in areas such as banking, supply chain management, the oil industry and IT.
I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Education plus a 300 Hour TEFL Diploma and I am a native English speaker with slight South African accent. I left my corporate job in investment banking to become a teacher and I am so glad I did. I find teaching to be a truly rewarding occupation and it really does not feel like a job to me at all.
I have 16 + years of formal ESL classroom experience and I have taught around 3000 online English Proficiency lessons to students from around the world over the past 3 years!
If you would like homework you can pick a homework option!
Lesson plans are uploaded before each lesson and you can go into the classroom anytime to access the lesson materials after the class.
I love how teaching inspires one to keep learning and improve!

My trial lessons
A typical half-hour trial lesson for Business English on Verbling would be structured to maximize your engagement as student. I will do a needs analysis and you will also take part in a short, engaging lesson that will demonstrate typical content from a full hour lesson. Think of it as a taster session. We might cover something like the future of AI in business for example. At the end of the session I will send you feedback about your level and a study plan for improving your English.
