So a lot's changed since the last time I was here.
The last time I was here was before the war started in Ukraine.
And after that begun, there was a lot of Ukrainian refugees arriving here in Scotland.
So I got a job with the local government, helping to teach English as a second language to the refugees who are arriving in the country.
And that was a really rewarding job.
You know, I got to make a lot of friends and learn a little bit about the Ukrainian culture and a little bit of their language as well.
So, yeah, that was fun.
But that contract came to an end in 2024, at which point I just went back to my private practice.
So I've now done more than 8000 lessons on Preply.
teaching students how to speak English fluently, confidently, and with a wide vocabulary for passing the IELTS exam or speaking English in general in business settings.
And most recently, I've started my own school called Elevate English, and there I've been working with groups of
intermediate to advanced level learners, helping them to use lots of idioms and phrasal verbs and advanced vocabulary in real discussions.
And as part of the program, students get access to all the courses I've made.
And that includes a course on how to pass job interviews.
And in that course, I actually do a job interview.
It's a real life job interview, which I privately recorded and students get access to that.
I recorded a course with a comedian, which was about how to be funny in English.
We cover exaggeration and sarcasm and self-deprecating humor.
There's a course there on how to small talk and make friends.
It's particularly useful for people who are in a new country or a new job.
