Job Search Strategies

I work in construction industry where communication plays an important part. With English as my second language, I used to find it hard to express my idea explicitly and concisely. However, after spending 12 lessons with Kevin, I believe I’ve found the right way to improve my English systematically. Kevin’s class is very informative and he will customize the class based on each person’s situation. I highly recommend those who want to improve your speaking and writing English try Kevin’s class.

I work for an international company based in Korea. I hired Kevin to help train me in business communications with clients in Europe and the US. All of my written and phone communication with them is in English, so I needed some help.
Kevin has extensive experience teaching global business English. He has particular skill in helping non-native professionals “translate” their meanings into English. And for “paraphrasing” business concepts and information.
I learned the proper words and sentence structures to use in e-mail, meetings, and presentations. I also learned about how to adapt to cultural differences in international business.
Along with this, I learned global business manners by performing various situational role plays with him.
To anyone who wants to learn real professional English, I would highly recommend his guidance and instruction.

I highly recommend Kevin to everyone who wants to improve their professional English skills.
I have been working with Kevin to improve my English professional communication. Kevin is an excellent English instructor, very clear, and taught very interestingly. As a CEO of a tech company, to be able to communicate as an English native is crucial. Kevin is an angel in my career; he focuses our classes on subjects he knows will impact my career. I have really enjoyed our lessons.

I wanted to accelerate my career advancement at my consulting firm. Kevin’s coaching helped tremendously with my goals to convey more confidence and executive presence. With his holistic coaching approach, I didn’t just learn how to just sound like a confident professional – I learned how to genuinely become that person. My improvement was evident to others in my office as well based on subsequent performance reviews.

I would not have been able to achieve these same results on my own; Kevin’s coaching expertise and desire to provide value for his students is apparent from the start. He tailors unique lesson plans for each of his students by taking into account our communication goals, our natural speech, our writing samples, and perhaps most important of all: who we are as individuals (personality, attitudes/behaviors, cultural background and upbringing, etc). With this approach, Kevin helped me to pinpoint my communication weaknesses and understand their root psychological causes.

With customized activities and specialized techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, I not only developed my technical skills with writing and oral presentation but also an improved and more conscious mindset to help me avoid succumbing to my negative tendencies in the first place. Kevin is also very easy to talk to and at times I felt he was more effective than my therapist in guiding discussions to help me understand myself.

In addition to helping my personal communication skills, Kevin was also able to help me brainstorm ways to effectively promote a new product/brand that I am currently developing outside of my usual 9-5. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Kevin. With his level of versatility and expertise, I highly recommend him as your coach for whatever your communication goals may be.
