Teaching Specialty:
We can talk about any topic that interests you, or we can choose business topics that will help you improve your ability to smoothly converse in English. I have access to extensive teaching plans and resources for business English. I've owned my own business for many years, have been a salesman and sales coach, and was the president of my business networking group (Business Networking International). I was a professional speaker for over 20 years with extensive experience and high-level skills in preparing and delivering speeches. I can teach you from experience how to best present yourself and your business in English.
Practicing free conversation is an essential part of learning a new language. I am friendly and easy to talk to. I will gently correct your pronunciation, vocabulary or grammar as needed. I have been a professional speaker and my students tell me that my pronunciation and rate of speech is very easy to understand.
I'm a published author and writer. I can edit your writing and teach you how to write smoothly and clearly in English. I love to write and enjoy teaching my students how to write well.
I love to talk and I'm a great listener. We can practice general conversational skills, learn to describe objects, learn some slang, and develop your situational vocabulary. I have access to unlimited teaching plans and resources.
