Mitch Decker, Founder & English Coach

Your coach

Mitch Decker

Retired American businessman & English coach

Hi! I'm Mitch. I'm a retired businessman from the USA. I can help improve the English you use at work or in your career — and even if you don't need English for your job, I can help you practice conversational English, at your level, in ways you'll enjoy and that build your confidence.

I've worked in sales and sales management, manufacturing, retail, and logistics, across banking, oil and gas, real estate, semiconductors, and consulting industries — and I've owned businesses of my own. I love travel (more than twenty countries, and three years living in China), learning about cultures, long-distance running, biking, camping, hiking, and reading.

My teaching style is simple: I'm patient and helpful, I work at your level and a pace you're comfortable with, and I work well with intermediate and advanced students too.
