Learn English with an Englishman - pharmaceutical / medical English a specialty

ENGLISH LANGUAGE TUITION
-general / business / conversational
-pharmaceutical / medical English a specialty

Hello!
I'm Ben, a British national, living in Slovenia with my Slovenian wife and our 2 children. I believe the best way to learn a language is to use it - textbooks and formal rules are helpful but practice, practice, practice is the path to fluency.

***Not just any native speaker!***
In addition to teaching English, I am also a scientific/medical writer - search for me! - and I, therefore, specialize in helping ESL speakers from the medical/pharmaceutical industries. I am, however, always happy to work with those from more general business backgrounds, and particularly enjoy dealing with students who just want to learn English for fun!

***What can I do for YOU?***
Speak naturally - coaching for pronunciation, accent, word choice, formality levels, etc - basically, fine-tuning the elements of English that differentiate native from non-native speakers.
Rehearsals - preparation for particular scenarios such as presentations, business-specific situations, interviews, trips, and so on.

***What else?***
I have a neutral English accent - I grew up in various places in England so I can't state a particular city. If pushed, I would say I speak with a general northern English accent.
I can also help with English texts - writing/editing, etc (I don't do proofreading).
Online / in-person possibilities
My teaching style is better suited to more advanced learners of English.
I don't coach for IELTS, TOEFL exams, etc.

If you would like to chat, get in touch, and let's see if I can help you.

Kind regards
Ben

About me:
I began working in medical communications in 2010, assisting pharmaceutical companies to publish their data in journals and at congresses. In 2013, I moved to Slovenia and started my own business, specialising in working with non-native speaking scientists.

I appreciate how difficult it can be to communicate complex ideas, especially when working in a non-native language (I have been learning the Slovene language for a long time so understand the problems and frustrations that non-native speakers experience).

Do you want to:
-Be able to express yourself clearly in formal and informal settings?
-Feel more confident writing and speaking in English?
-Increase your international opportunities?

Choose an ESL teaching specialist who understands your area:
-In addition to my industry experience in medical communications, I hold academic qualifications in biological sciences and law.

Pedagogy of musical and instrumental training - Coach for teachers. beginners (or future teachers) - Ear, Rhythm, Reading, Virtuosity...
Music is a passion. Teaching is another. It is therefore my responsibility to share the first while satisfying the second. :) TEACHING... it's a beautiful human adventure where we learn, where we instill, and even where we advocate things. In doing so, we cannot escape our musical and human values. What does a very good teacher accomplish? What qualities (musical and human) are necessary to make a teacher a very good teacher? What is good progress? What are the steps to remember when training a student's ear? What are the steps not to be omitted in the transmission of rhythm? How can we really help students read notes well? How to develop virtuosity? How to make a correct diagnosis? What is the place of music theory, technical exercises, etc.? These are a lot of interesting questions... I will be very happy to help you and share the results of my research and my practice as a music training teacher, teacher. organ, and chamber music, whether on a specific point, or to develop an entire program. I talk about what I know and what works with the students. If you want something that works in practice, then I've got you covered! This is what I am passionate about and what I like to share. On the other hand, I do not specifically prepare for teaching competitions. I also do not wish to lock myself into lunar discussions which have no practical outlets... Looking forward to sharing with you, FM
