    English for Business or Academic Purposes (CEFR B1-C1)

    Intercultural awareness and communications are key when venturing into the world of international business or academia. Would you like to feel more secure about your English skills at work or university? As a certified teacher, linguist and published author and editor of teaching materials I understand and can teach you how to strike the right tone in different contexts.

    These lessons are meant for intermediate (B1) to expert (C2) English learners. Depending on your language level, we can focus on language skills, customs and cultural conventions for specific purposes, such as:
    - job interviews,
    - (academic or business) presentation skills, and
    - business writing (correspondence, reports, minutes) or academic writing

    As a freelancer author and editor, I have developed course material for university students seeking to improve their academic and business English. Let me know what your specific goals are, so I can tailor my content to your needs.

    About Me

    My heart is not just in teaching, but in all aspects of education. Over the last 8 years I have worked as a (private) language teacher, test developer, textbook author and editor, and e-learning author. I have taught beginners to advanced learners, teenagers and adults. As a teacher, I enjoy combining the knowledge and skills I have acquired to create learning plans and content for students.

    I teach general language skills (speaking, reading, listening, writing, grammar, pronunciation), test preparation, and business and academic language skills. In addition, I can proofread your writing.

    My lessons are very student driven; the content of our lessons will depend on what you wish to achieve. I tailor my lessons and homework to your goals and interests to make your language learning experience not only a success, but more importantly, enjoyable and motivating.

    I see language use as a tool, not a goal in itself. I use media and materials about your topics of interest to practice a specific language topic. During online lessons, I will write down vocab and grammar notes and tips for you to review after class. For homework assignments, I like to use podcasts, videos, articles, and recipes that we can discuss in class.
