English for non-natives – Level A1 – Module 2

I am a CELTA-certified English trainer and cross-cultural communications specialist with an MBA and more than 20 years of international experience. A native English speaker fluent in Dutch, French, and Korean, I have supported learners at all levels in both academic and corporate settings since beginning my career in South Korea in 2002. Having lived in eight countries and worked across diverse industries, I understand what it takes to thrive in multilingual, international environments. At AHLEX, I create an engaging and supportive space where participants build clarity, confidence, and credibility in English—whether for meetings, presentations, or everyday professional communication.

I bring extensive experience using English in professional and academic contexts across a range of industries. In my career, I have communicated daily in English with people from diverse backgrounds, in both formal and informal settings. I have taught adults in grammar and beginner courses as well as professional communication, and I have delivered trainings, workshops, and courses designed to give learners practical skills they can apply immediately. My courses are often described as approachable, inspiring, and enjoyable. I strive to create a relaxed, supportive atmosphere that encourages participation and builds confidence, while keeping a clear focus on learning goals. My style blends patience, clarity, and genuine engagement, helping each learner succeed whether starting with the basics or aiming for professional-level fluency.
