I'm a native Australian English tutor and communication coach based in Singapore, with 18 years of experience teaching adult professionals and expats. I specialise in business English, IELTS speaking, pronunciation, and presentation skills — one-on-one, online or in person near Buona Vista MRT.

Yes — it's one of the most common reasons people come to me. I use psychology and neuroscience to help you understand why your brain blocks under pressure, and give you real tools to stay calm and think clearly, even in high-stakes meetings.

Yes. Small talk is a real challenge for a lot of my clients, especially those navigating workplace culture in Singapore for the first time. We work on building natural, confident small talk so it stops feeling like a minefield.

Yes. A lot of what I help with isn't just English — it's understanding how things land in Singapore's workplace culture. I draw on 18 years living and working here, plus time in Australia, the UK and the US, to help you read the room, not just the language.

Many of my students see a real improvement in their speaking band after just 3 sessions. I focus on what actually moves the needle, not generic test drills — especially useful if you need a specific score for a visa, university entry, or PR application.

Yes. I've helped clients prepare for interviews in English, including people who've gone on to land roles at companies like Google. We work on confidence, clarity, and thinking on your feet under pressure.

Group classes can only do so much. I offer fully personalised one-on-one coaching, often at a lower rate than somewhere like British Council. I combine English teaching with psychology and neuroscience to get at the actual cause of the anxiety — not just grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure.

I'm TESOL certified, a native English speaker from Australia who's also lived in the UK and the US, and former Head of English Department at JSU Language School. I was also a private banker before teaching, which gives me a real edge in business and corporate English. I've been living and teaching in Singapore since 2008 — 18 years of experience helping adults communicate with confidence. Beyond standard teaching qualifications, I hold a Public Speaking Skills Professional Certificate from Toastmasters, and have completed advanced study in psychology, brain science, and executive presence — work that directly shapes how I coach clients through speaking anxiety.

AI is great for writing emails or checking grammar, but it can't sit in a meeting with you, think on its feet when your boss asks a tough question, or read the room during small talk. That's where I come in. Most of my clients already use AI for writing — they come to me to build real, live speaking confidence.

Private lessons start from $90 an hour, with package options if you're booking regularly. Exact pricing depends on your goals and how often you want to meet — message me on WhatsApp and I'll recommend the right option for you.

I teach online via Zoom and in person at my home near Buona Vista MRT and One-North. Easiest way to start is to message me on WhatsApp — I'll ask about your goals and go from there.

I work with adults at every level — from people building basic confidence to advanced speakers refining presentation skills and executive presence.
