About

Teaching beyond language! Communication transforms lives. After 14+ years in the offshore oil & gas industry, I bring extensive international experience in operations support, personnel coordination, logistics, workforce administration, and project execution in high-demand environments to my English Training Practice Room. I work as a Private English Coach, helping professionals, especially those in technical, corporate, and international industries, communicate with greater confidence in real-world business English. Throughout my career, I have worked across international projects in Dubai, Singapore, Mauritius, Las Palmas, the United Kingdom, and other global locations, supporting complex offshore operations with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, compliance, and operational continuity. Outside my professional work, I am also the founder of pWw – praying the Word to the world, a personal initiative focused on sharing faith-based English learning content.
