Introduction:
Bridging the Gap Between Textbook & Boardroom I am not just an English tutor; I am a former General Manager and Contract Manager with 18 years of corporate experience at South Africa’s largest logistics company. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce in Industrial Psychology & Economics and a TEFL certification (2021).
I specialize in helping ambitious professionals—from Data Scientists and SEO experts to University Lecturers—transition from "intermediate" English to executive fluency. My goal is to help you navigate high-stakes environments, whether that is a PhD student in the Czech Republic or a job interview in Europe.
My Teaching Methodology: Structured & Bespoke
I do not use generic, one-size-fits-all textbooks. My methodology is designed for professionals who need fast, tangible results:
• Deep Conversational Analysis: We discuss complex, relevant topics (Geopolitics, Economics, Industry Trends). I don't just correct your grammar; I help you refine your arguments.
• Remedial Precision: I specialize in identifying "fossilized" errors—mistakes you have been making for years without realizing it—and correcting them to polish your professional image.
• Real-Time Feedback (Google Docs): I use documents to capture vocabulary and corrections as we speak.
• Interview & Career Coaching: I have successfully mentored students through the full recruitment lifecycle, helping them secure roles in European and Brazilian firms.
Subject Expertise
• Business English: Email etiquette, and meeting management.
• Logistics & Operations: Specific terminology for supply chain and project management professionals.
• Academic English: Assisting PhD candidates and researchers with thesis articulation and complex sentence structures.
• Interview Preparation: Behavioural interview techniques and "STAR" method answers.
Education & Experience
• TEFL Certified (2021): Qualified to teach English as a foreign language.
• (Industrial Psychology & Economics): University of Johannesburg.
• Corporate Leadership: 18+ years managing operations, teams, and legal agreements.
