Introduction:
Business English and IELTS Preparation
I am a professional English teacher from Britain. I hold a TESOL Certificate, a TESOL Diploma, a degree from a British university and a qualification in Teaching Online from the University of New South Wales in Australia. I have 13 years of experience I have taught in Korea, China, Turkey, Oman, France and UAE. I have taught students from over 50 countries.
I have a great track-record in preparing students for TOEFL and IELTS. In IELTS I often get students jumping bands in short spaces of time. For example, from 6.0 to 7.0.
I have very focused and results-oriented techniques that help students improve dramatically. I have a very strong background in Business English. I have worked for major Fortune 500 companies across the world, particularly in France and China. I have a lot of experience in building specific classes for different companies and industries.
