About me

My success as a TEFL teacher and mentor to a wide variety of students was shaped by the prior 2 decades of life and business experience gained in several different industries and countries. This gives me the knowledge and tools to know how to adapt to each and every student and help them achieve and indeed, surpass their objectives.

My lessons are based on 2 fundamentals. The first being the culture / tone. This is always positive, energetic and confident (and as often as possible, humorous). The second is the technical aspect. For this element, I make sure that each student, in each session, increases their vocabulary, understanding, grammar and proficiency. This can happen through exam prep, free conversation, formal syllabus, news articles, textbooks, or a variety of other methods.

I look forward to meeting you soon so we can enhance your English together.
