Brian T.

I have about 4 years specifically teaching conversational English. I taught at a private language school in Tokyo. I also taught an English communication course with a conversation focus at a private university in Japan.

I have extensive IELTS experience. For about 6 years in total, I taught IELTS preparation courses to university and high school students in Hong Kong and Kazakhstan.

I'm a native speaker of English with a fairly neutral accent. I spent years teaching in South Korea and Japan, where American English is the preferred form. Additionally, I was educated in the US and received my undergraduate degree from an American university.

I'm happy to help with general second language acquisition. I have a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics. I also hold a CELTA. I have taught ESL in six different countries all over the globe. I can adapt quickly to various accents and the needs of individual learners.

I've participated in teaching short courses for students who plan to study abroad. Most recently, while teaching a university foundation program, I assisted students in completing university entrance task requirements such as writing motivation letters and other types of essays. Currently, some of my former students are studying abroad in Italy, Germany, and the UK.

I hold a bachelor of arts in Creative Writing. I am a specialist in Academic Writing. I am proficient in research and academic report writing. I am knowledgeable in most popular citation styles such as APA, Harvard date etc.

I spent the last six years teaching primarily English writing in a variety of subject areas. The academic English program was accredited by BALEAP.

I have about four years experience teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP). My background is fairly diverse. I have taught English for the following purposes: Aerospace, Pharmacy, Real Estate Management, Hospitality, Sports Management, and Business Management.
