English for examinations and business conversation

Von 24.4 Fr /Std

I am a native English speaker. I have 14 years of middle and high school teaching experience in the USA, where I taught English every day (as well as other subjects.) I have tutored online for 5 years, where I have taught over 3000 learners who have given me a rating of 5/5. I have also lectured at medical schools in a number of countries over a period of 17 years. I have a CELTA certificate in teaching English from Cambridge University, England. In addition, I have an MBA (Hons.) degree from a university in the US, and a medical degree as I was a physician for many years.
I live in Kurashiki as I am married to a Japanese national.

Über mich

My school teaching background is as an enthusiastic and inspiring class teacher in a USA private school for 17 years. There I taught English and other academic subjects for the middle school and high school classes.
Here is a summary of some additional details:
• Native English speaker – originally from South Africa, but I lived in the US for
over 30 years.
• Originally a physician for 23 years, after which I received an MBA degree.
• I have both a CELTA and a TEFL certificate. They were each over 120 hours face-to-face and included teaching students each day.
• I would be interested in teaching those who are 11 years and older, individually or in a class (B1 level or above), or in preparation for an examination, especially IELTS and TOEFL. Given my background, I have had a number of students from the business and medical professionals.
• My philosophy is to ensure that the learners I teach are inspired and want to study, enjoy my classes, and as a result, do superior work so that they can reach their full potential.

Oi querido(a) estudante!

Do you want to learn the vibrant Brazilian Portuguese with a native teacher?
I am here for you! I am passionate about my language and culture, so I would love to share it with you.

I can teach you through dynamic and fun classes that get you emmerged in the Brazilian culture. When you realize it, you are already speaking the language!

I am very flexible and can teach people of different ages, levels and needs. Let's learn to sing beautiful samba lyrics! Let's learn about Bossa Nova and its magic! Let's feel the Brazilian heat while remaining in the Netherlands! Let's learn the "jeitinho brasileiro" to be able to make great deals with Brazilian companies!

Since 2018, I have been teaching Portuguese via Apprentus to several students. It's been very enjoyable to me as well as to my students and I am particularly proud of their development and achievements within a short period! I hope you can be my next student, who is going to make me very proud of!

Vamos aprender português juntos! Tenho certeza que você irá se apaixonar por essa língua assim como eu! Até breve! :)

***Feel free to drop me a message!

Explore Public Speaking through...

Intonation and Melody

When training for a presentation, decide which words and passages deserve extra attention and increase the tone to emphasize these points. If something sounds exaggerated or false, your audience can turn against you.

Volume

A speech is not ordinary conversation, and a presenter can’t convey passion and enthusiasm if the words are delivered softly.

Clarity

Don’t forget to articulate every word, to ensure clarity on your part and understanding on the part of the audience.

Emphasis

Even in the same sentence, emphasizing different words can change the focus of a message. Changing emphasis can alter meaning and/or implication.

Pauses

when pauses are placed in strategic spots in a speech, they can make the difference between a good and an excellent presentation. There are several purposes for which pauses can be used: to give listeners a chance to absorb something that’s just been said; to generate expectations about something that’s going to be said...

Pacing & Tone

If you often get negative feedback about the faster or slower delivery of your speeches, practice delivering a speech sometimes faster and sometimes slower, so you can arrive at a natural pace.

Hello, are you looking for an English teacher, qualified from the UK? Do you wish to improve your pronunciation, your grammar and get ready for your job/school? The English lessons here are especially designed to meet your needs. Do you wish to have your work corrected, to work on literature/ business subjects/ linguistics or prepare yourself for an exam? Don’t wait and send me a message. The teacher can prepare you as well for specific examinations like IETLS or specific English programs (A-Levels, GCSE...).

Why learning English?
English is a worldwide language and you will need to have solid basis in English for your job or for leisure when travelling. Did you know? Knowing an extra language is extremely appreciated by recruiters because not only you are familiar with a foreign language but also you will be open-minded, knowing various cultures. 😊

You have the possibility to have the lessons via Skype (the majority of my students prefer having their lessons online, technology is fun!).

In our increasingly globalized world, the ability to communicate effectively in English is not just an advantage—it's a fundamental skill for navigating a wide range of personal and professional situations. As businesses and organizations operate across borders, English has emerged as the universal language of business, diplomacy, and technology.

You'll learn and practice the exact English skills you need for your job. We'll build our sessions around your specific goals and use your own work materials, so you can feel confident and start applying what you learn immediately.

Building on your language proficiency, we'll also focus on the crucial soft skills and cross-cultural knowledge that will truly unlock your full potential and help you excel in any international setting.

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University
