Business English
for career success
I help companies and individuals reach their English goals through focused training sessions. ​
​
Your time is valuable, and I find the most effective strategy to maximise your learning.
​
I've spent 5000+ hours training employees from 40+ international companies, as well as many freelancers and consultants.​​​​
“We discuss dialogues, emails, presentations, workshops... everything that comes up in my daily work."
Friedhelm Mueller — Consultant/Coach
How I work
I design each program to directly address my client's business needs.
My training uses sector-specific language for real-life situations: meetings, presentations, customer service, negotiation, sales, email, marketing and more.
​
Most of the lesson time is spent speaking, in both free and controlled activities. Targeted speaking activities build confidence, and improve fluency and pronunciation.
Vocabulary and phrases needed in your work are introduced throughout. Grammar is corrected and taught when necessary. ​
​
I provide materials and advice for at-home study to fit your schedule.
