I am very patient and can talk to people about many subject matters due to my journalism background.

Listening is one of the most important qualities that I have. You learn so much from people from the things they say. With this in mind I will be able to assess where their strengths are and build on those, as well as more intensive time on the areas where they are weak. Conversational English is very different to business 'speak' as such. I would assess why they wanted to learn English and focus on those areas as well so that they are comfortable to converse wherever they find themselves. I do speak Afrikaans which is similar to German and Dutch. I also managed to travel around France with the tuition I received at school.
