About Thai

Hi, I'm Thai. I'm a Master in Real Estate Finance graduate working in real estate investment in London, and I tutor Business and Financial English alongside that work.

My path into tutoring is a natural one. After completing a BSc in Economics with Spanish at the University of Bristol, I went on to study an MSc in Real Estate at ESCP Business School, one of Europe's leading business schools. Studying Spanish to degree level gave me a deep respect for the process of learning a language — the small daily wins, the frustration of forgetting a word mid-sentence, the confidence that builds only when someone gives you thoughtful feedback rather than a shrug.

That experience shapes how I teach. I've been on the learner's side of the table, and I know how much difference the right tutor makes. My goal in every session is to be the kind of tutor I would have wanted — patient, specific in feedback, focused on what actually matters, and genuinely invested in each student's progress.

My professional background is in finance and real estate. I've worked in a UK-based real estate asset management consultancy and have worked and gone through interview processes with major global firms including JLL and Harrison Street. This means I know the real language used in professional finance — the vocabulary of pitches and client calls, the tone of internal emails, the phrases that make someone sound like a natural part of the team versus someone who studied English from a textbook.

Beyond work, I enjoy travel, cooking, tennis, and following developments in real estate and how technology is reshaping the industry — particularly how AI is starting to change how professionals write and communicate at work.

I take my teaching seriously and I take my students' time and money seriously. Every session I run is planned, focused, and designed to make measurable progress. Whether you're preparing for a career move, an international role, an important interview, or simply want to feel more confident in your professional English, I'd be glad to help you get there.

Looking forward to meeting you.

About the lesson

Who my lessons are for:
I work with working professionals — usually intermediate to advanced English speakers — who use English at work and want to communicate more confidently, precisely, and professionally.

My typical students are:
- Finance, banking, and real estate professionals dealing with English-speaking clients or colleagues
- Consultants and corporate employees in international firms
- MBA candidates and postgraduate students in English-language programmes
- Professionals preparing for interviews at international companies
- Anyone moving into an English-speaking role or country for career reasons
- Lessons are best suited to adult learners with an intermediate level of English or higher. I'm not a good fit for absolute beginners or young children.

My approach
Every lesson is built around your real work and real goals. I don't use fixed textbooks or generic curricula. Instead, I design each session around what will actually help you this week — whether that's a client email you're drafting, a presentation you're preparing, a meeting you have coming up, or an interview you're getting ready for.

My teaching combines four elements:
- Practical conversation practice: realistic role-plays and structured discussion around your actual work situations
- Targeted correction: focused on the changes that will most improve how you sound professionally, rather than flagging every small error
- Industry vocabulary: building the specific language used in your field, including finance, real estate, banking, and consulting terminology
- Written work review: reviewing emails, reports, and documents you've written, showing you how to sound more natural and precise

Between sessions, I set small focused tasks (writing an email, watching a business news clip, preparing a summary) that we review together. This accelerates progress far faster than sessions alone.

Typical lesson structure

Lessons are 60 minutes. A typical session includes:
5-10 minutes of warm-up conversation with real-time correction
20-25 minutes of core focus work — role-play, document review, or presentation practice
10-15 minutes of vocabulary building relevant to your industry
10-15 minutes of review, questions, and setting between-session tasks

I also offer 90-minute sessions for interview preparation or intensive coaching before specific work events.

Qualifications and background:
- MSc Real Estate from ESCP Business School (2026)
- BSc Economics with Spanish from the University of Bristol (2024)
- Native British English speaker
- Practical experience at a UK-based real estate asset management consultancy
- Interview and practical experience with leading global real estate firms including JLL and Harrison Street.

My background means I bring genuine domain knowledge to sessions — I understand the actual work my students do, and I can discuss and correct their English within the real context of finance, real estate, and business.

How I correct
Business English learners often worry about being over-corrected or embarrassed. I focus on the changes that will most improve how you sound professionally, and I balance direct correction with encouragement. Sessions leave you feeling more confident, not more self-conscious.

Trial lesson
If you're not sure whether I'm the right fit, book a trial session. Tell me a bit about your role and what you'd like to improve, and I'll design the first session around exactly what will be most useful to you.

Thai and I were part of the same cohort on the MSc Real Estate programme at ESCP. Beyond being one of the sharpest people in our year academically, he has a really unique ability to communicate difficult ideas in a simple, engaging way — something not everyone in our class managed! He helped me a lot during the year, especially with technical vocabulary and preparing for presentations in English. He's calm, methodical, and takes the time to actually understand what you need before jumping to answers. Anyone learning business or financial English would be lucky to have him as their tutor — you're getting someone who genuinely knows the industry and knows how to teach.

I studied alongside Thai during our Master's at ESCP Business School, where we worked together on multiple group projects in real estate finance and investment analysis. What always stood out was how clearly Thai could explain complex financial concepts — I'm not a native English speaker, and there were countless times he'd rephrase something or find a better way to describe an idea so it just clicked. He has a natural teaching instinct, patience, and genuinely enjoys helping people understand things properly. His command of professional English is excellent and he has a real feel for how language is used in a business context. If you're looking for someone to help you communicate more confidently in English, especially in finance or business settings, I can't recommend him highly enough.
