To speak with confidence in English comes with learning the natural flow of our language using collocations. Often if you translate from your own language to English it's understandable but will sound odd to native speakers. I've been teaching natural English and conversation exercises.

I have a B.Comm in accounting and worked with a public accounting firm. At one time I was the treasurer of a public company plus wrote their press releases. Owned a resort, insurance firms, travel business and consulted with many businesses. I'm certified with google and have built websites.

I work with a number of students to improve their scores for both IELTS (general/academic) and CELPIP. If you're considering immigrating to Canada I recommend the CELPIP exam. I'll be happy to explain my reasons for this preference. Students will do much better on both tests if they're well acquainted with the format and question types.I have an eight step proven method for getting the IELTS score you need. The IELTS academic test is often you're only choice for English university admission so we'll perfect you're IELTS exam writing, speaking, reading and listening skills. It's critical for you to learn how to skim for understanding and key points in the reading section. We'll work on vocabulary, content, readability/listenability and task completion so you will get to or beyond the 7th level of IELTS writing and speaking sections.

One important piece of advice is to understand what hard and soft collocations are because this is how people move to the native sounding levels. Collocations are all about the normal way natives produce and comprehend their language. As you learn our collocations you think in complete phrases and are able to predict the usual patterns of English.Canadian English is very similar to American without the strong accents. I've spent considerable time in the USA plus I have family there.

You will progress quickly through an intelligent step by step program. We'll determine your areas of both competence and weaknesses so we can focus our lessons. Continual assessment, exercises, positive correction and homework will make a huge difference.

I know and understand most British English as most Canadians share it. Most of the preply recordings feature UK English and even for people wanting North American English this is a benefit because it promotes better listening skills. Exposure to different accents and expressions is important for ESL students.

I'm been working with several students on interview techniques plus conducted many interviews during my business career. We'll study the language you need to show interviewers the value you'll provide.Preparing for a job interview is actually easy because the language is very predictable.

You will become a confident and natural English speaker through a step by step program. There are some very important skills that are needed to become competent in English. Collocations are critical in reaching more native levels in English.I have both a TEFL and TESOL plus have tutored many private students and through a large ESL company. My students have made huge progress following our programs with coaching.

Through my family and extensive business life I'm well prepared. I've been teaching adults and children for a number of years plus have many coourses.

I'm am a natural Canadian plus educated completely in Canada at the B.Comm level. I have both a TEFL and TESOL certificate plus many supplemental courses. I've completed courses plus have experience preparing students for IELTS and CELPIP.
