What if I really want to master English? (Part C)

8) Why should you choose to learn from Uncle Martin?

Uncle Martin was determined to excel in English when he was only 12 (primary 6). He read crazily on his own and devoured a lot of English language college textbooks in his first year in middle school.

Armed with his excellent command of English, he was able to land himself on jobs in foreign businesses after less than 2 years with a Hong Kong business as a secretary. He made his way accidentally into personal financial services thereafter and from there made his way to international securities and commodities.

After his stint on international securities jobs, Uncle Martin spent another 4 years doing cold calls in the US market during American working hours. In the past 4 years, Uncle Martin has been engaged in the business of recruiting and interviewing foreign teachers for China educational institutions. He is also providing one-to-one, small group and corporate training (business English) in Shenzhen City in English. Those who have been to the Grammy Bar English clubs (now at 92℃ Coffee Club) or been spending time on a Sunday in Lizhi Park English Corner or High-Tech Park English Corner (Friday night) are not unfamiliar with Uncle Martin.

With working experience in London , Tokyo , Nairobi/Mombasa ( Kenya , East Africa), the Philippines and a lot of other countries, Uncle Martin has behind him over 30-years in the use of business English internationally.

Uncle Martin has been retained by Beijing Foreign Language University to assume the role of moderator and a joint talkshow host online with the Beiwaionline forum.   He will be teaching Presentation Skills soon together with Steven Lichen, his loyal follower who made a great success in English study under Uncle Martin's guidance.

9) Simple, Direct English

For the purpose of daily living and business dealings, simple and direct English is much preferred to complex English using a lot of big words and sentence constructions. The latter is helpful if you are pursuing English literature or postgraduate studies. For young working adults who are more worried about being understood by their foreigner counterparties at work, simple and direct English is exactly what they need. And Uncle Martin can surely turn you into one who can use simple, direct English if you are persistent enough.

10) How long will the coaching program be?

It all depends on how much time and energy the student can devote to coaching under Uncle Martin, and your level at the time you start with him.

To be realistic, Uncle Martin is recommending a program lasting at a minimum of 6 months to 2 years.

Uncle Martin will accept payment for a minimum of 3 months in advance after the number of hours and the assignment arrangement have been agreed upon. Rates are also determined after discussing with the student with the program details.
