About Me

italki teacher since May 5, 2020

I am an experienced university professor, teacher trainer, and business English instructor with a master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and a PhD in Educational Leadership (November 2020). I have also taught academic English to international students at a large public university in the U.S. for more than 10 years. Prior to becoming an educator, I worked in the business world, and I have a bachelor's degree in advertising. I have extensive experience working with business professionals on their advanced language skills and presentation skills. I have traveled to 45 countries and have taught and trained teachers in Japan, Korea, China, and Malaysia.

Me as a Teacher

As an instructor, I make a point of always challenging my students while being a patient individual and a good listener. It is important for students to feel comfortable and have realistic and obtainable goals, and I will do my best to keep you on track with your language learning objectives. Each lesson will be personalized and tailored to the specific needs of the student.

My lessons & teaching style

My teaching is designed to help you develop communication skills for your personal, professional, and academic goals. I will constantly challenge you, but I also want each class to be engaging, enjoyable, and educational. We are all lifelong learners, and we should grow and develop together.

After this first lesson I can definitely say that Adam is a knowledgeable and experienced teacher. He's learner-centered and make sure to come up with a solid study-plan to meet your goal. I'm highly satisfied with this first meeting and recommend him to anyone who wants to take his English to the next level. I can't wait to start my English learning journey with him.

Adam's class is awesome! Adam is a perfect coach for preparing an interview. He has special teaching skills and I guess he must have a lot of experience in teaching business english. I just finished the first class with him, and I am 100% satisfied with it.
