Business English Services

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. My most common types of jobs are editing all kinds of materials - textbooks, speeches, and internal documents.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Prepare to receive a service better than you could possibly have imagined.

Despite rumors of cultural differences, prepare also to find ourselves united in mind and heart as we work together.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Phone English without any kind of practice of tracking the errors on paper, and reviewing them, will never make a lasting change in a person's speaking pattern.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Buyers should expect English language services to be specified as any other product:

When do you want the final product?
How do you want it delivered?
Who is responsible for receiving it?
How much are you paying for it?
What exactly are you paying for?

When you order something like a speech, we will discuss the context and prior knowledge of all participants, along with the above questions. I will speak with the speech giver and really make sure we convey their sincerest intentions in English. They will have spoken accurately, and their English-speaking audience will praise them for the way they engage their hearts and minds.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. We take a wide-view of corporate culture so that each word builds upon others to truly reflect corporate values.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. We enjoy making businesses more acceptable to a world-wide market.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. I am willing to travel and I am willing to accept full-time employment with one company with the right compensation package.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. My favorite story is the boy who spoke like this for every sentence.

By the end of 3 months he spoke a whole lot more like this.

My best accomplishment so far, and I was truly honored to be his teacher.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. Your teacher or trainer should not be evaluated on the basis of their credentials. While a B.A. seems to be a useful standard of judging academic accomplishment, teaching English well involves a different skill set than a B.A. requires.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. I got into this line of work when a friend suggested it; I tried it and fell in love with it instantly. It has been a resounding success ever since.

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. I recently was teaching an official of the Korean Government.

I can say no more.

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. I am constantly reviewing English grammar with every student, and my favorite students are the ones that push me to my limit of knowledge to study more.

There's always more to learn.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?

A. Globalization will become an accepted reality. Eventually Korea, and indeed the world, will have fully accepted English as the official language of diplomacy and business.

While English tests are always changing, if you actually *know* English you can beat all of them!

This is especially useful knowledge for those who will be tested every two years for promotions in Korean companies which use TESOL and TOEFL as threshholds.

Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

A. My most recent project involved teaching conversational English one-on-one. A student who desperately needed to loosen up their conversation skills paid $1,000.00 for 8 weeks, 5 days a week, of 1 hour group lessons.

I structure them in ways that everyone is an active participant in everyone's success: there is no shame or embarassment in my group classes.

Q. If you have a complicated pricing system for your service, please give all the details here.

A. It depends on the project, the duration of the commitment, the hourly work, whether I can do it on my own time or on your schedule. Factors come into play that can help me raise or lower my fee.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. I would suggest doing everything you can to love and understand yourself and people in general. Communiction is an external fraction of one's internal reality, which is being shared. Know yourself, know others.

Q. Write your own question and answer it.

A. What makes you the best at what you do?

Some listen, but can't speak.
Some speak, but can't write.
Some write, but can't reach.
Some reach, but landing, are not received.

I seem to be able to listen, speak, write, and reach an audience in a way that few others can.
