Hello everyone!
My name is Frans, and I’m excited to help you achieve your English goals.
I am a communications specialist with over 10 years of experience helping professionals express themselves with clarity and confidence. Most recently, I trained Hyundai executives and engineers in Korea, designing customized pronunciation, listening, and presentation drills that improved their client-facing communication in high-stakes business environments. I used to be the CEO of my own company.
I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & Sociology and a 120-hour TEFL certificate, which give me both the practical tools and the insight into how people think, learn, and grow. Beyond business professionals, I’ve also taught children in Korea and China, adapting my lessons to different ages and learning styles.
My background isn’t limited to teaching. I’ve worked as a content editor and copywriter in South Africa and as a freelance writer for global clients, which sharpened my ability to adapt communication across cultures. This means I can help you not only improve your English, but also fine-tune how you deliver your message for maximum impact.
