Introduction:

Job Interview Training / Business English / Structured Literacy

I’m a TEFL-certified ESL Tutor.
I specialize in:
- Job Interview Coaching
- English as a Second Language for Adults (Business English)
- Structured Literacy (Dyslexia Support)

My clients are students and professionals who want to express complex ideas and communicate clearly in English.

I hold a BA in Cultural Anthropology and Social Psychology and have over 8 years of experience as an English tutor. I combine coaching with creative approaches to build grammar, literacy, conversation skills, business communication skills, and strong learning habits.

Outside of teaching, I’m an avid rock climber and a student of Instructional Design, structured literacy adult learning theory, and Thai language and culture. I’m passionate about language, learning, and human connection.

Teaching Specialty:

Business English Basics › Advanced

I train professionals to communicate more effectively in English at work. My lessons use discussions, case studies, reading, and real workplace scenarios to help people express complex ideas, participate in meetings, and speak with clarity in professional settings. My clients leave with stronger fluency and greater confidence in business communication.

Test Prep › IELTS

I help adults prepare for the IELTS exam. My lessons use speaking practice, discussion, and test-style questions to help students organize their ideas and respond more effectively during the exam. Students leave with stronger confidence and a better understanding of how to succeed on the test.

Everyday English › Free Conversation

I train adults to express themselves in English. My lessons use creative challenges, games, discussions, and reading exercises that help people practice and improve in a natural way. My clients leave with stronger confidence and deeper fluency.

Business Skills & Knowledge › Interview Skills

I will train you to speak confidently in your next job interview. Using a proven framework, I'll guide you on how to answer interview questions, speak so people remember you, and how to negotiate your salary.
