Hi there, my name is Hugh (休老师). I am an Australian English Teacher who has been teaching in Asia for more than 14 years. I am certified as a Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) as well as in Adult Training and Assessment (TAE). Additionally, I studied English Literature and Linguistics (the science of language, including language acquisition) at the University of New England.
I specialise in teaching Business English, IELTS Prep, Fluency Coaching and Intercultural Communication, however, I am also available for Kids Classes.
I have also given a lot of public speaking training, so I can help you with that too.
Do you want to be guided by somebody who is invested in your success?
Do you like your lessons to be fun, friendly and interesting?
Would you like to walk away from every session feeling you have improved?
If so we may be the perfect match. Don't hesitate to book a trial lesson with me soon or send me a message!

A little about myself:
I began my career teaching working for English First in Indonesia🌋. After that, I went on to become the English Coordinator at several schools and also an Educational Consultant for language programs👨🏫.
I have also worked in Translation 🤖(Ind.En En.Ind), as a TV host 📺🎥, as a MC/Public Speaker 🗣🎙, as an Event Organiser (concerts and festivals 🎶), Personal Trainer and in many other positions. So I can usually relate to the many lifestyles and career choices of my students.
I have been teaching online 💻 in addition to my regular duties for almost 5 years now. My teaching style is described by my students as friendly, fun and interesting 😎.
My interests include reading 📖, especially but not limited to the classics, business, psychology, education, history and sociology. I also love fitness, nature🐧🌴, motorcycling and cycling 🚲.
I have many students who have been studying with me for years, I love working together with people and developing new friendships 👥 as I help them with their English. Please get in touch with me 📬 if you'd like to experience learning with me.
