Why study Business English with Language Elevator?
As well as being a qualified English as second language teacher (CELTA, Certificate in Language Teaching), I also have a Bachelor of Commerce and Administration from Victoria University. I worked for a large consulting firm (Deloitte) for many years where I gave many presentations to small and large audiences and wrote and presented reports to a large range of clients in diverse industries.?
I also worked at the New Zealand Treasury writing reports for the Minister of Finance, Cabinet and other Government agencies. All reports were subject to rigorous peer review which focused on precise and unambiguous English.
As a teacher at Dominion English School (a Category 1 English school), I taught the Job Seeker Programme, which focused on CV and cover letter writing, job applications, and job interview skills.
