Jim_Business
Hello!
Hi, my name is Jim. I'm an English tutor from Chicago, Illinois. I have a Masters in Business Administration and have managed a Business Intelligence department working in data analysis and machine learning. I’m also a TEFL certified teacher. Together we can refine your grammar, expand your vocabulary and improve your pronunciation with targeted lessons or fun conversation. If Business English interests you, I can help you gain the skills needed to succeed in any professional setting. I look forward to helping you in your English language study.
I have 2 cats and I’ve been a cat owner for many, many years. I read anything about technology, current events and Sci-Fi. Lately, I'm focused on learning more about AI along with the many software tools that are coming to the market. I enjoy Formula 1, football (soccer & NFL), baseball (Go Sox), movies and most types of music (except Country). Favorite video game: Cyberpunk 2077. Several years ago, I was a member of a group that held a Guinness World Record.

Teaching Style
** Adults only (21+yrs). 30 minute classes are best** Friendly, patient, humorous. I focus on the needs of the student to ensure they receive the instruction and practice necessary to improve their skills and reach their goals. I like to make lessons practical and useful so that students can use their new knowledge in everyday activities. Depending upon the student needs, we can work on speaking, listening, reading, pronunciation, writing, practice presentations and job interviews or any activity that improves English language skills. I believe that reading is very important and I also encourage students to write in English. Over time, practicing these skills will also help to improve speaking. Learning a new language takes time and practice. I try not to overwhelm students, but I also like to keep them challenged so they can grow. If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning!
