Currently helping several beginner, intermediate and advanced students with their conversational skills. All of them have made good progress so far.In addition, from 2014 to 2015 I was a tutor at Conversation Class, a free English class run by Equippers Church. The class focussed on speaking and conversation skills, and the students came from many different countries like China, Brazil, South Korea, Chile and Uzbekistan.

I am a qualified Business English teacher and have taught Business English to businessmen, engineers, senior executives and people who work in finance. I can teach you how to do presentations, manage and participate in meetings and make small talk with people.

In the last couple of years, I have helped a number of students get excellent marks on their IELTS exams. I've also helped three students get the scores they needed to become permanent residents of New Zealand. One of my biggest strengths is helping people prepare for exams like IELTS.

I have taught at least seven beginners in the last four years. Three of them have made great progress since we started doing lessons. One of them has managed to get a new job and a promotion since he started doing lessons with me.

Currently teaching American English to a German who lives in the USA, and I have also taught American English to one other student. In New Zealand, we are heavily exposed to American movies, TV shows and music, so we often know the American words for things and how to pronounce words the American way.

One of my students does lessons with me 6 days a week and I give him a lot of homework. He has improved so much in less than four months!

I speak New Zealand English, which is similar to British English. The pronunciation is very similar, and you could say that New Zealand English is a type of British English.

I can teach you everything you need to know when traveling, such as what to say at the airport, what to say at a hotel and how to order meals at a restaurant.

I have helped one student to get a job on a sailing expedition and another student to get a job as a civil engineer.In total, I have helped at least twelve students with job interview preparation in the last five years.

I have helped many students prepare for the Cambridge First/B2 certificate and CAE. Most of them got scores on their exams. I am especially good at helping students with the speaking and writing parts of these exams.
