About Erik
I am a professional educator with over 20 years of experience in the English as a Second Language (ESL) industry. My background is uniquely diverse, having spent 13 years teaching and managing in South Korea before returning to Australia.
I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Bachelor of Science in Business. This academic foundation allows me to offer specialized coaching in Business English and professional communication that goes beyond standard grammar.
What I offer:
- Advanced Grammar & Writing: I specialize in high-level instruction (C1), focusing on complex structures like narrative tenses, inversion, and reporting verbs.
- IELTS Preparation: I provide targeted coaching for IELTS Writing Tasks 1 and 2, including detailed grading and feedback based on official rubrics.
- Business & Professional English: Leveraging my MBA and corporate background, I help learners master professional correspondence, stakeholder engagement, and negotiation skills.
- Tailored Curriculum: I create custom instructional materials, from grammar exercises to specialized vocabularies, ensuring lessons meet your specific professional or academic goals.
Whether you are preparing for international exams or looking to excel in a global business environment, I bring the patience, cultural awareness, and expertise needed to help you reach the next level.
