Business English

I am averaging a score of 9 out of 10 for each of my sessions and I am favourite for upper level EXecutive Business English Classes.

Prior to this I have been teaching Business Start-up for Small to Medium Micro-enterprises in Southern Africa on- and off-line for more than five years.

I was part of a design team with the specific task of evolving new ideas and design concept in the production of potato farming machines and packing lines.

My other portfolio was taking the products to Africa, which involved Market Intelligence and Planning in Southern Africa outside of South Africa.

I worked in various consultative capacities on individual and joint projects in Zimbabwe and Botswana helping smallscale and commercial farmers to improve their farming enterprises, right from Farm Planning,through Mechanisation and Irrigation installations to produce marketing.

These projects were catering for both field crops and horticultural enterprises and were especially fulfilling when started from scratch up to when the produce was finally delivered to the market in good order

I was in charge of Farm Implements Research and Development: new product designs and concept generation.

I had a number of innovations to the company's credit which are still in use to this day, especially the Super Nova Direct seeding drill-A First for Africa and many new machines and modifications for tobacco, sugar and coffee production.

I was also in charge of Product Commissioning and Technical Training of Sales Personnel and Field Engineers
