I am also a global conference speaker communicating into many Asian and African countries. Also, I am currently developing ongoing conferences with coaching and teaching via zoom and other outlets. This is for business training, leadership, teamwork and problem resolution. I have been welcomed in many nations by Government and private organisations. Countries have included a number in the far east, Asia, Middle East, Europe including Portugal, USA and many countries in Africa. My journeys have been challenging at times travelling through remote and dangerous lands. I consider myself a citizen of the world. ELOCUTION lessons can be provided with regard to pronunciation. This skill came with being a stage actor. I have written a novelette and been a stage actor and singer for a number of years.

Specialties

Teaching Style

I teach in a similar way that I had to learn for acting and singing skills. Sounds and phonetics are important in learning language and the best way of learning is making it fun. ELOCUTION lessons can also be provided enabling students to speak English with clarity, therefore to be understood. As a Global speaker at conferences and involved at times with government leaders clarity of language is vital, as many times I have required interpreters to work with me.
