About me
Hello! 🙋♂️ My name is Derek and I am a native English speaker from the UK with over 16 years of experience in both business and teaching. I also work as a web developer and designer, so I understand the language and communication skills needed for professionals in the tech industry. 🌐💻
I love working with motivated students who are ready to improve their English for work, study, and real-life conversations! My business and IT background allows me to bring real-world professional experience into my lessons — perfect for anyone who needs English for meetings, interviews, client communication, or global projects.
I have thousands of hours of teaching experience with students from around the world — both in-person and online. My teaching specialties include:
• Business English (meetings, presentations, negotiations, emails, interviews)
• IELTS exam preparation (speaking, writing, listening, reading)
• English fluency and speaking confidence
• General English for daily communication
English for IT professionals, developers, designers, and tech workers
Every student is unique, so I create customised lesson plans that focus on your personal goals and learning style. I use real-world materials, business case studies, role plays, and interactive speaking activities to make every lesson practical, enjoyable, and effective.
Many of my students have:
• Achieved high IELTS scores
• Secured international job offers
