I m recently retired and spent a good part of my professional life helping students and fellow employees learn English to help them communicate in both their personal and professional lives. I now have the time to devote this passion to those who need to improve their English. In my 20's I taught TEFL in the Peace Corps and in the Middle East. In my corporate career I traveled to Japan numerous times and helped co-workers with their English skills, and in my last job worked with designers from China. I am therefore knowledgeable and comfortable with clients from almost any background. I have taught students English at all levels. I have developed my own material, but can modify it to help those wishing to pass a certification test.
