About You
.
Ever have that feeling that your work colleagues don’t quite understand what you’re trying to say?
Ever spent hours trying to find exactly the correct words for an email in English that would take you minutes in your own language?
What was it that everyone was laughing about at the last meeting?
You struggle to communicate effectively in English. In your native language, you are fluent, competent, and persuasive. People look up to you and follow your lead. But in English, the power and persuasiveness vanishes.
Maybe you do just fine when you’re talking about your work, but when everyone starts to discuss another area of the business, or the discussion moves to more casual subjects, you run into problems.
How can you improve? Your work colleagues won’t tell you when you’re making mistakes. They’ll smile and nod, and go about their business.
What you need is a native speaking teacher, with business experience, who is able to help you reach your full potential while speaking English.

Focused on your strengths and skills
.
I have helped people of all ages, from students to executives, by focusing on their communication, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills in professional environments. I’ve worked with my clients through:
- Training courses
- Workshops
- Group classes
- Lectures and seminars
- One-on-one coaching and Tutoring
My experience, conveyed through different methods, gives me insight into how to best help you, while making the learning process enjoyable for you.
We focus on your English language skills with an emphasis on the workplace. We’ll do exercises to improve your reading and listening comprehension, your speaking skills, vocabulary (with an emphasis on phrasal verbs and idioms), and grammar. We use authentic materials that you deal with on a daily basis: emails, presentations, business articles, and role-plays of scenarios you may come across at work.
In addition to my own methods and materials, I rely on the outstanding resources on Off2Class.

What you can expect
.
As a result of your taking Workplace English lessons with me, you will improve your:
- Public speaking
- Presentation skills
- Management effectiveness
- General level of Workplace English communication.
Many of my clients ask “How long will it take before I see improvement?” The answer to this question is based on three factors:
- What are your goals?
- How frequent, regular, and effective are our lessons together?
- How much practice do you do outside of our lessons?
My experience is that the overriding factor in improving your English language skills is the third: how much practice you do outside of our lessons. I will provide the materials, structure, and guidance necessary for you to improve, but it is up to you to do the work. I ask all of my students to commit to at least one hour of dedicated English language practice every day, outside of our regularly scheduled lesson time.
If you want to improve your Workplace English, book a trial lesson with me. We will then have a discussion as to the next steps, which may include a placement test through Off2Class. This assessment will tell us exactly which areas of your English language skills we need to focus on together.
