Hello!

Hi, I'm Peter ! If you're a professional or student, I look forward to talking with you. I offer English job interview coaching. I recruited as part of my role in global companies and was a recruiter for a start up. You can do a personality-type assessment and see how you’re aligned with the job you want. I also do IELTS speaking skills training, but I'm not a grammar teacher. I teach grammar conversationally. I use the Cambly courses for Business English, Academic English, Vocabulary Practice, Speaking Practice, Reading Practice, Expressing Yourself, and Professional Development. I NO LONGER DO FREE TALK CONVERSATION LESSONS. Thanks for visiting my profile. I hope to see you in class!

I’m a former Associate Member of the Association of Professional Engineers (PEO), Canada [Process & Operational Excellence, Modelling Specializations, and Work Study, Ergonomics & Methods Engineering]. While my degree studies covered the fundamentals of electricity, mechanics, physics, and coding, my speciality is not in these specific areas as a major. But a work systems perspective drawing upon them. I hold a Bachelors Degree for the above areas, a Graduate Diploma in Environmental Management, and a Masters in People, Work & Organizations. My career includes a decade and-a-half in management of multi-national companies. I'm from Canada and have travelled and lived in North America, Europe, and Asia where I contributed to Ernst & Young's recruitment process, was Director at EF English, and helped international companies with business English. I am certified for tutoring IELTS speaking. My hobbies include writing and I published several novels and one how-to book about writing. I like following current tech trends, and watching most sports, movies, and learning about cultures. I enjoy helping beginner writers in online forums.

I am a listener who likes to give my students a lot of speak time. I need to understand your background and situation for job interview coaching. I can give feedback throughout a lesson or after its over.
