Interests: 🔹 🧑‍🏫
Hi, I’m Steve! 👋 I’m a full-time English tutor who brings energy, structure, and real-world experience into every lesson. Whether you're aiming for a high score in 📘 IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge exams, or need to upgrade your 💼 Business English, I'm here to help you succeed with purpose-built, results-driven sessions.

Before teaching, I led a successful career in retail sales and management, training new managers and building strong teams. Later, I ran two of my own businesses—🛍️ a physical retail store and 💻 an e-commerce business—while spinning tracks as a 🎧 semi-professional DJ.

I hold both TEFL and TESOL qualifications and have studied 📈 Advanced Life Coaching, 📲 Digital Marketing, 📷 Social Media Management, and 🧠 SEO & Online Course Creation. My passion for personal growth fuels everything I do—from 📖 writing books on wellness to 🎸 learning slap bass and building our dream home 🏡.

Outside of lessons, I co-write and edit health books with my partner, create wellness content for our YouTube channel 📹, and get lost in my collection of 📚 dystopian fiction.

I believe in helping students change their lives through focused, meaningful learning—and I’d love to support your journey! 🚀
