Your expertise deserves
language that carries it.

You know your field. You have the experience. But when the meeting is in English, when the presentation is in English, when the negotiation is in English — the gap between what you know and what you can say becomes the gap between success and silence.

CELTA — Pass B

Cambridge Assessment English. The gold standard in English language teaching certification. Pass B places in the top 15% of all CELTA graduates worldwide.

22 years inside professional environments

Not a classroom teacher observing business from the outside. Someone who has been in the meetings, the presentations, and the negotiations your English needs to perform in.

One-to-one. Online. Worldwide.

Sessions designed around your schedule, your goals, and your specific professional context. No generic coursebooks. No group classes. Just focused, relevant coaching.

The moments where
English has to perform.

01

Meeting communication

Contributing confidently. Interrupting politely. Holding the floor. Summarising decisions. The specific language patterns that make you an active, credible participant — not a silent observer.

02

Presentations and reports

Structuring a clear narrative. Presenting data with authority. Signposting so your audience follows. Handling Q&A without losing momentum. Presentation English is a learnable skill.

03

Negotiations and persuasion

Proposing, countering, conceding, and closing — all in English, under pressure. The language of professional negotiation is precise. We practise it in context, not in isolation.

04

Written professional English

Emails, reports, proposals — the written communication that represents you when you are not in the room. Clarity, tone, and structure that positions you as someone worth listening to.

05

Pronunciation and fluency

Not accent elimination — clarity. The goal is to be understood effortlessly, at speed, in high-stakes conversations. We work on the sounds and patterns that create friction for your listeners.

06

General English fluency

For professionals who want to improve their overall English confidence — not tied to a specific context. Conversation, grammar, vocabulary — taught the way adults actually learn language.

How adults
actually learn language.

Most business English courses treat adults like school students. Grammar rules. Textbook exercises. Vocabulary lists to memorise. That is not how language sticks in professional contexts.

Every session is built around real situations from your working life. The language you need is taught in the context you need it — so when the meeting happens, the words are already there.

01

Assessment and goal-setting

We begin with a free trial session. I assess your current level, understand your professional context, and agree on the specific goals we're working toward. No generic placement tests.

02

Context-first teaching

Every lesson is built around a real situation — a presentation you're preparing, a meeting you're dreading, a report you're struggling to write. The context comes first. The language follows.

03

Deliberate practice

Language is a skill, not knowledge. We practise — speaking, writing, responding under pressure — until the language becomes automatic, not effortful.

04

Tracked progress

You receive notes after every session — what we worked on, what to practise before next time, and a clear record of progress. No guessing whether you're improving.

What people
usually ask.

Any question not answered here — include it in the form above.

What level of English do I need to start?
Intermediate and above (B1+). You need enough English to hold a basic conversation before we can build professional fluency on top of it. If you're unsure of your level, the free trial session will make it clear.
How are sessions delivered?
All sessions are online via video call — Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, whichever you prefer. Sessions are 55 minutes. You receive written notes after every session summarising what we covered and what to practise before next time.
What time zones do you work across?
I work with professionals worldwide. I'm based in South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) and currently have availability for sessions from early morning through to early evening SAST — which covers Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and much of Asia. Tell me your time zone in the form and I'll confirm availability.
Is this Business English or General English?
Both. Most clients come for professional contexts — meetings, presentations, negotiations. But some want to improve their overall fluency and confidence. Either is fine. We agree the focus in the trial session and build around it.
How quickly will I improve?
Most clients feel noticeably more confident within 4–6 sessions when they practise consistently between lessons. Language development isn't linear — but deliberate, focused practice in context produces faster results than generic study. The clients who progress fastest are the ones who use their English at work between sessions.
