In order to boost your personal or your team's Business English skills, it is important for me to create lessons and courses based on your own personal goals.

From my 11 years of teaching experience, most students usually set goals for their English based on the skill sets below.  Click on the areas that are of most interest to you to find out more about my methods!

Do you ever feel like you don't participate in meetings because you don't have confidence in your English?

Do you feel uncomfortable giving presentations?

Do you feel awkward and self-conscious when you have to make small-talk?

If so, there are many ways in which I can boost your confidence.  With these areas, we firstly take a step-by-step journey through fixed phrases that you can use at each stage of a meeting or presentation. For small-talk, I also have a step-by-step plan that I use with my students:

In order to apply phrases that we have learnt, I use role-plays to simulate real meetings / presentations / small-talk situations. I have a huge selection of role plays, some of which I have on my site.  There is an example of a role-play in the link below:

I can also create role-plays specific to your job position.  As a teacher of Business English for over 11 years, I have experience in teaching hundreds of professionals across a huge range of fields in business, finance and medicine.

In order to simulate a real meeting or presentation, I always have a list of questions prepared to help you train for the unexpected.

Do you sometimes feel like you use simple vocabulary when you know that there are more professional expressions that you could use?

Do you sometimes hear words in meetings which you don't understand?

Do you sometimes feel like you know professional vocabulary, but you always use simple words in speaking?

After over 11 years of teaching professionals, I have compiled a huge list of Business English vocabulary which can be used across a range of scenarios. From experience, I always find that this is the best place to start for vocabulary building.  An example of a few of these phrases can be found on my site in the link below:

From this strong foundation, there are many different ways in which I like to teach students new vocabulary.

All vocabulary that we learn is added to a Google Document after each lesson, such as in the example below:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1whaBU-3Pp_xWtq5e2XhiMhQTY39sqceUb9n_lRoo4dE/edit?usp=sharing

I make a document like this for each individual student or group, and I edit it after each lesson. I then use this document as a basis for reviewing and implementing vocabulary. The next stage is to get this vocabulary into your active English.

Do you find that you keep making the same grammar mistakes in your speaking?

Are you sometimes confused about which verb tense you need to use?

Do you find that you sometimes use simple sentences instead of more complicated ones?

If this sounds like you, then I can certainly help you to improve your English grammar.  With my 11 years of teaching experience, I have taught professionals who are native speakers of a huge variety of languages: French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Czech, Polish, Ukranian, Russian, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian. I therefore understand the specific grammar difficulties that speakers of all of these languages experience. As part of my University education, I have also studied linguistics and language typology, which means that I have a detailed understanding of how these languages work even if I don't speak them.

If you feel as if you would like to improve your grammar, I can conduct a comprehensive grammar test in order to asses your level and identify any areas which we can improve on.  This assessment is carried out both through speaking and grammar quizzes focused on specific mistakes which are made in business.  An example of such a test can be found in the link below:

Are you sometimes unsure about the phrases that you have used in your email?

Are you sometimes embarrassed to send an email because you think that there are a lot of mistakes in there?

Do you find it difficult to see your own mistakes?

If this sounds like you, then I can certainly help you to boost your confidence in your English writing.

How much do lessons cost?

The price is made for each individual lesson, with a discount for packages of 5 lessons or 10 lessons

Due to the fact that lessons are specifically adapted to your personal English goals and needs, there is no fixed length to the course.    This is the same for group lessons.  Courses can be put together, for which we can specify a specific course length, or alternatively we can run lessons continuously.

It is possible to pay for as many lessons in advance as you like.  It is also possible just to pay for 1 lesson at a time at the beginning.

You don't have to pay anything until we have spoken in a free 30-minute consultation.
