Introduction:
Teaching English from beginner to IELTS, as well as Business and Technical English.
Hello,
My name is Simon Tall and I come from London, England.
I have been teaching English language to adults for the past 7 years in Saudi Arabia and Thailand.
In Saudi Arabia, I taught beginner English to IELTS preparation to the military.
In Thailand I taught corporate English to businesses in Bangkok.
I have knowledge and experience in teaching IELTS, especially speaking practice as well as Technical English, Business English, Presentation skills and English for job interviews .
I also have experience in teaching General English from beginner to upper intermediate.
If you need to study English for exam preparation, a job interview, for your work or just to practice to maintain your current level I can help you.
I have a 3 year undergraduate degree in History from a British university and a TEFL teaching certificate. I have also completed an online teaching course.
Before I started teaching, I spent 17 years in the British Police Service, seven of which as a manager.
I am married and living in Killarney, Ireland.
Teaching Specialty:
I am familiar with the Pearson PTE Academic (speaking section) test (specifically tasks 4 and 5), and have practice graphs and lectures.
I have resources to assist you to prepare for the TOEFL speaking exam, specifically tasks 2, 3, 4, and 6 with practice lectures, conversations and readings.
Most of my lessons are free conversation, where I can conduct a question and answer session for you to practice your English, or we can speak about a prearranged topic.
I have had training in interview techniques, and I have taught English for interviews both online, and in a classroom environment.
I have taught a lot of Japanese students in this area, where lessons focus on pronunciation, and more natural speaking.
