I deliver online English courses via Microsoft Teams, providing niche Business English courses and a range of specialised training courses for groups of professionals in the global economic sector who wish to improve their language skills in the workplace and integrate into the foreign market.

I focus on all 4 skills of language-learning and specialise in semantics and phonetics. I have a profound interest in pragmatics. During my 24 years as a Business English tutor in the EFL industry, I have refined my approach in areas including presentation techniques, public speaking and technical writing. Because I understand the importance of teaching English for niche industries, there's nothing that gives me more pleasure than tailor-making a course designed to suit the individual requirements of my clients. I can take on a challenge, and am a self-professed phonetics and grammar geek! Ethical discourse plays an important role in good reporting. And because education inherently seeks to guide students toward an understanding of reality, I believe educators have a duty to take a truthful stance as opposed to one of neutrality.

I am a native BrE speaker (British English - RP) use digital tools in every lesson, including interactive tools and a white board to explain grammar points in class. I use images and interactive writing software when correcting and assess students' fluency errors and written assignments. I make use of course books or pdf materials and worksheets which I share with my students. My course materials are sourced from Cambridge, Oxford and my suppliers Cornelsen and BEP (for those students that prefer to learn American Business English). I have an extensive cloud library of over 800 worksheets and over 100 books for different levels and business areas of specialisation, depending on my students' field and/or area of focus. These books include audio comprehension, reading and role plays. I regularly do online interactive quizzes in class to monitor student progress. These interactive tests and quizzes are supplied by the British Council and Cambridge University Press.

My background in Management has shaped my understanding of the world business professionals are required to work in, while my background in Applied Linguistics has taught me how to better assist in literacy endeavours. These skills are crucial for personal empowerment, economic growth, and participation in society, and help promote digital literacy, reporting techniques, and lifelong learning. My students have described my course content as deep, engaging and mindful.

My students are happiest after having monitored their weekly progress!
