I recommend you meet and greet me first before you book a coaching/tutoring session. This helps me tailor my coaching/tutorials to your exact needs and specific context. You will also receive post session information for free!
Description
I am a native English speaker from Christchurch, New Zealand with a heart for Japan (Below are pictures of a recent school trip I led to Japan.).
If you are a business person, adult or post graduate student, you may have learnt English grammar at High School, but not have the confidence to speak English to near native level or to write academically in the style suited to higher level contexts. I will help you with authentic English Language for real life business scenarios, social scenarios or post graduate university assessment contexts.
I have 15 years' experience as a learning and writing advisor at university level. This means I provide a superior learning process to better prepare you for serious business or university situations! Below is how I recommend you use me:
1) Book a free meet and greet session to discuss your practical English Language or academic writing needs.
2) Book your preferred session. I will tailor this session to you based on the meet and greet discussion.
3) Afterwards, I will send you further information to reinforce this learning. It is best you apply session learning immediately.
The above process shows you that you receive more than just an isolated session. There is also session follow up available to check how you went at applying what you learnt.
I specialise in:
- Oral presentations (business or university presentations) - I have helped PHD students win Three Minute Thesis competitions.
- Business English for important practical business situations.
- Academic Writing for important assessments (Essay/report writing, literature reviews etc).
- English Language pronunication support and coaching.
