  September 1, 1986 to present
  • I gained a wealth of experience teaching and acquired a "behind the scenes" look at language school business models by working with a number of schools in the business English area. In 1986, I synthesized the best elements encountered in his experience as a business English trainer to create U.S. English Services.For over 20 years, I have offered the insight gained through comprehensive experience in the business English training market to a variety of corporate clients, language institutions and publishers. My company now works in conjunction a network of dependable specialists to help clients with a variety of innovative solutions related to corporate English and effective intercultural cooperation.In 2001, I took part in one of the most successful and largest blended learning training programs in Germany. My involvement in this award-winning program convinced me of the incomparable benefits blended learning offers. I have since incorporated blended learning as a central element in programs designed for many of my clients.The success of any business English program can only be accurately evaluated if a variety of perspectives are taken into account. U.S. English Services keeps in close touch with client needs by continuing to work in business English/intercultural training, train-the-trainer programs, executive coaching and business English product development and optimization.
