About Me

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
NOTE: I am now accepting new students.

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 have completed a BSc (Honours) in Information Technology systems & Interaction Design, 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 startup 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 and stay safe and well!

My trial lessons

In our trial lesson we will:
-Have a warm-up introductory chat where you tell me about yourself and your language goals (you get to explain your needs).
-I use this to understand & identify the kinds of problem areas we will need to focus on.
-I will give you feedback and examples to highlight these areas.
-Then together we will look at how to address these concerns, achieve your goals and your time commitment.
-I will happily answer questions at any time through the session.

It was my first one hour class with Shane today. I really enjoyed it, as we had a very beneficial discussion about the specific topics I need to enhance my spoken English in. Furthermore, he has a very simple way to convey the meaning of the new vocabularies and on the other hand, he is very flexible and open to discuss whatever you both believe it will be of your benefit. He's really a knowledgable and friendly tutor.

I have just finished my trial lesson with Shane. All what I can say, he is simply an excellent, well prepared and professional tutor. In addition to this, he is very friendly and motivating. From the first minute of talking, you realize that you are talking to a very skilled tutor. I recommend him for anyone wants to improve his English either for general use or for business use and definitely I'll consider taking more classes with him.
