Biografía:

I qualified to teach English in 1990 while living in the UK. Since that time, I have taught a wide variety of students from many countries, both in person and online. I started teaching online in August 2018 and can offer help in many different areas such as Business English, Job Interview Prep and Conversational English. I also offer unique targeted lessons in accent correction, intonation, and coaching in giving presentations. Please message before making any bookings.
