Introduction:
Specializing in business & academic English for working professionals
I'm an American and currently live in Fuji Japan. I was an education consultant, CPA, and college professor. I happily retired at the beginning of this year and now entertain myself with equity investing. I keep limited hours to teach for personal enjoyment.
I'm a big reader of the markets and business reports. I'm big into mining companies, biotech, and genomics for this year with EV focus. Happy to discuss these topics if anyone is interested.
Teaching Specialty:
I worked as a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) in the United States for 5 years before becoming an educator. In my job, I dealt with may complex business scenarios and acquired a high level of proficiency.
I am currently teaching interviewing at Language Village to Japanese students. We focus on abstract interviewing questions, question formation, and strategy.
I formerly taught negotiation as part of a MBA program at Guizhou University (China). My course was adapted from Dr. Seidel's course, which is taught by University of Michigan.
Speaking from experience, I was a marketing resource for recruiting presentations in China for 5 years. I've spoken to audiences of various sizes up to 1000. My style is dynamic and high energy while focusing on audience participation.
For many of my classes I use custom materials that I have prepared for my own collegiate teaching career in the past, as well as materials from my experience doing business in the US/China.
