Hello friends,

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio and learn more about me. It would be an honor to help you achieve success in your life through learning English. Naturally, you’ll want to know more about who you’re working with before deciding to invest in our services, and I hope this bio gives you the insight you need to make the decision that feels right for you.

I was born in Birmingham, England, and spent my childhood playing football and exploring the countryside of the West Midlands. At 13, my family relocated to Florida, USA, where I continued to grow and eventually attended the University of South Florida in Tampa. Although I wasn’t sure what career I wanted, I knew my strengths were in leadership and organization, so I pursued a degree in Business Management. After earning my Bachelor’s Degree, I was ready to dive into the business world.

My career journey began in Denver, Colorado, where I worked as a manager in the rental car industry. Over the next few years, I gained management experience in various industries, including car washes and convenience stores, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that these roles weren’t my true calling. I then transitioned into a business analyst role, a move made possible thanks to a referral from my wonderful wife, whom I met and married during this time. While I learned valuable skills, the sense that there was something more fulfilling out there persisted.

Eventually, my wife and I decided it was time to pursue careers that truly made us happy, which brings us to today. We now live in Southeast Asia and are dedicated to helping individuals learn English to unlock a world of opportunities. It’s no secret that knowing English can open doors in travel, academics, and professional life. After years in management and analysis, I realized that my true passion lies in helping people. This realization led me to become TEFL Certified, followed by additional certifications in teaching Business English.

Teaching English allows me to fulfill my passion for helping others, and it would be my honor to assist you on your journey.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out via our email address. I hope to speak with you soon.

Best regards,

William Coates
