Hi, I’m Gerard. Otherwise known as Mr. G.
When I was a child going on vacation was the most exciting thing ever! You feel the wheels of the airplane touchdown in a new place and you never forget the wave of heat that hits you as you exit the airport.
What will always stay with me, too, is the embarrassment of not being able to communicate in the local language. I started out teaching myself languages so I could visit as many countries as possible and impress the locals.
With at least 7 years experience teaching English from Elementary IB PYP/Middle School IB MYP level to Business English my students have achieved top grades in official exams (FCE, BULATS, TOEFL, CAE) which has allowed them the opportunity to pursue promotions at work or study abroad at English speaking Universities.
I created this course to help people like me who WANT to learn languages through a clear, meaningful and organised course.
Fun Fact:
Did you know that the school with the highest altitude is in Tibet? At around 5400m above sea level it inspires me to help my students reach new heights. With this course you will open the door to reaching your true potential.
Description:
Why have 99+ Google Chrome tabs open when you can have just 1? Learning English doesn't have to be tedious. Do you want to acquire the necessary knowledge to be able to communicate basic expressions in English at work or on vacation? Imagine that and actually enjoying yourself at the same time...
