About me - English
I am experienced English trainer with full-time teaching experience since 2006. I have directly taught numerous high level corporate employees and government officials through Berlitz. They include a Brazilian senator (part of the inner presidential circle), a Brazilian agricultural delegate at the United Nations (New York headquarters), a Japanese consul-general in China tasked with attending to the Japanese prime minister during a G7 summit in China, and an Italian ex3cutive in charge of overall operations of a German supermarket chain in China, just to name a few. I also have a lot of experience teaching reading and writing to local Canadian students as well as teaching IELTS to international students.
Qualifications & Experience
This experience is supported by my native Canadian English communication skills. I have a Political Science degree from the University of British Columbia, a TESOL license from Global TESOL College (accredited by the Government of Canada), a Berlitz Language Training Certificate, a TMC Cross Cultural Training Certificate, and a half-completed MBA from Heriot-Watt University.
Teaching Approach
My teaching approach is to assess students for their current skill levels and then to equip them with the tools that will reinforce areas where their skills are lacking. The next step is to help them practice followed by feedback with corrections and suggestions.
