About Shoba
I am a senior professional with 21 years of experience in global banking and IT service delivery, having spent my career working with HSBC's Global Service Desk across teams in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Throughout that career, clear and effective English communication was not just a skill — it was the foundation of everything I did.
I authored the HSBC Global Quality & Training Handbook, a document adopted as the standard onboarding guide across 12+ countries, and designed and delivered training programs for diverse international audiences spanning multiple cultures, languages, and professional backgrounds. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for how adults learn, what holds them back, and what truly builds confidence in a new language.
I hold a TEFL certification from Henry Harvin, an EF SET C1 Advanced English certification, and a Train the Trainer qualification — giving me both the professional credibility and the teaching methodology to deliver lessons that are structured, practical, and genuinely effective.
I am patient, encouraging, and deeply committed to every student's progress. I understand what it feels like to communicate in a professional environment where English is not your first language — and I bring that empathy into every lesson.
Whether you are just starting out or looking to refine your professional English, I will meet you exactly where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

My teaching approach is student-centred and completely tailored to your individual goals. Before we begin, I take time to understand what you need — whether that is professional business English, conversational fluency, grammar foundations, or exam preparation — and I design every lesson around that specific goal.
Teaching Techniques & Methodology
I use a communicative teaching approach, meaning we focus on real conversation and practical usage rather than rote memorisation or abstract grammar rules. Every lesson includes a mix of structured exercises, guided conversation practice, vocabulary building, and constructive feedback. I use real-world materials — business emails, workplace scenarios, news articles, and everyday situations — to make learning relevant and engaging. For written English, I provide detailed feedback on structure, tone, clarity, and grammar so you can see exactly where to improve.
Lesson Structure & Length
Lessons are typically 60 minutes long, though 90-minute sessions are available for students who prefer a deeper dive. Each lesson has a clear focus area, warm-up activity, main practice section, and a short review at the end so you leave knowing exactly what you have learned and what to practise before next time.
Qualifications & Experience
I hold a TEFL certification from Henry Harvin, an EF SET C1 Advanced English certification, and a Train the Trainer qualification. I spent 21 years in a global banking and IT environment communicating professionally in English across teams in APAC, EMEA, and the Americas. I have designed and delivered training programmes for diverse international audiences — giving me a deep understanding of how adults learn and what makes teaching truly effective.
Who Are My Lessons For?
My lessons are ideal for:
✦ Working professionals who need confident business English for meetings, emails, and presentations
✦ Job seekers preparing for English-language interviews
✦ Adults at beginner to upper-intermediate level (A2 to B2) looking to build fluency
✦ Non-native English speakers living or working in an English-speaking environment
✦ Students preparing for workplace communication rather than academic exams
I teach online via video call, making lessons flexible and accessible from anywhere in the world. My style is patient, encouraging, and results-focused — I celebrate every step of progress and make sure every student leaves each lesson feeling more confident than when they arrived.
