Bio:

I create a comfortable learning environment where students can build their confidence and use English more freely in their dialy lives or in the workplace. I get students to interact and communicate as much as possible, but also correct them on grammar mistakes, vocabulary, pronunciation and sentence structure. I'm comfortable teaching daily English, as well as business English, as I have worked as a financial manager for 16 years in several international companies.

My teaching methodology:

*I love to interact with my students, making them feel comfortable and confident in expressing themselves, creating an engaging and productive experience for both the student and the teacher. *I have loads of materials available on all aspects of English, whether it is grammar, phrasal verbs, idioms, business English related topics, etc. which I am happy to share with my students. *I recently started a YouTube channel where I share information on various asspects of English, mostly related to real-life examples that I experienced during the lessons. *I will adapt my teaching style to the specific needs of each individual student, as well as prepare any lesson material that a student might request.

My teaching background:

I have been working as an ESL teacher for just over 6 years, working with all levels of students from all over the world, but moslty Asia, Europe and South America. I am a TEFL certified teacher and started my teaching career with one of the biggest online teaching platforms, where I gained great experience and knowledge on becoming the best teacher I can be, which was verified by receiving numerous awards as "Teacher of the month", as voted for by the students.

My background outside of teaching:

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting, and I worked as a financial manager for just over 16 years in several international companies, in many different industries. I have vast knowledge on many topics related to business English: - job interviews - intercultural communication - financial statements - negotiating - running a meeting - presentations - introducing yourself and your company - disciplinary hearings - performance appraisals I love teaching business English, as I have much experience and real-life examples I can share with my students.
