About me.

My name is Ivan and I’m originally from London in the UK. I’m a CELTA qualified teacher & former British Council teacher and certified IELTS examiner with over 25 years experience. I also have many years of Business experience teaching English to Corporate customers and have worked with companies such as HSBC Bank, Saudi Aramco and Hewlett Packard.
