Hello! My name is Adam and I am a master student studying in University of St. Gallen. My lessons focus on tailoring to specific student needs by considering their interests, ability and knowledge. I generally offer lessons for debating and public speaking which focuses on back and forth discussions on current affairs as well argument construction to ensure students can deliver and articulate their ideas concisely. I believe in today’s day and age, yes academics does play a huge role in enhancing your employability, but with everyone graduating from university degrees and achieving similar grades, how can you differentiate yourself from the rest of the pack? Being able to present yourself clearly and articulate your thoughts is what I believe to be the most effective way to stand out; from job interviews, to assessment centres, to presenting to your boss, etc; being able to speak with conviction will surely take you the extra mile in your career!
