Do you want to…

• Be confident enough to speak to native-speakers, and know your accent and pronunciation are great.
• Do you want to be interesting, funny and relaxed in English?
• Stand in front of a room of people, or speak on a Zoom/Teams call at work with dozens of international English speakers and know you speak excellently.
• Are you tired of boring lessons and boring teachers? Or don't want to speak Americanized/Polish sounding English?

Let's face it - another grammar lesson is not going to cut the mustard (do you know that phrase?)

You need conversational practice with a friendly and relaxed teacher, who can open up your full potential over time.

Remember:  RELAXATION + INTEREST + TALKING = LANGUAGE MASTERY.  

I have worked as professional teacher for Berlitz academy and taught a wide range of students to improve their speaking confidence, from private lessons with youngsters (12 and up), groups with teenagers, groups with adults and of course private lessons with adults of all backgrounds.

Specific business-oriented training

• I worked for 20+ years in the HR, Manufacturing and Technology industries at a technical and leadership position. I'm comfortable working with both 'on the ground' and Leadership staff to improve workplace English and what is called business communication.
• Do you struggle to hold Zoom calls in English? I can help you roleplay and train techniques exactly for this.
• Do you not understand the strange jokes the British team-members make during meetings? Don't worry! Nobody but a native speaker does.
• Do you want to give an important presentation at work or at a conference? OK, let's train it: I'll help you craft and perfect it.

About me:
I'm an eclectic person, full of contrasts. I have three degrees, speak Chinese and English, and have lived and worked in the U.K., Singapore, China, Croatia and Poland. I worked in industry 25 years so understand the professional world, but on the other hand I'm a published author, having written a successful fiction series as well as many other novels, stories and scripts.
