About me - English
I’m an American Business English and Interview Coach based in Thailand. I help professionals speak English with confidence in interviews, meetings, and real conversations. My lessons are practical and built around discussion, creative challenges, and problem solving. I like to keep things active, real, and connected to what you actually need at work.
Qualifications & Experience
I hold TESOL and TEFL certifications and a degree in Cultural Anthropology and Social Psychology. I’ve been teaching English online since 2019, working with professionals across Europe and Asia to improve fluency, prepare for interviews, and communicate naturally in business settings. I also design my own interactive learning materials and short eLearning lessons that make practice engaging and memorable.
Teaching Approach
My lessons are discussion based and include creative challenges, short games, and real communication tasks that keep you thinking and speaking naturally. I focus on helping students express ideas clearly, respond quickly, and sound natural in any setting. Every class is active, structured, and built to deliver real progress you can use immediately.
