Business English for people who already know their job.

You are good at what you do. In English it takes you longer to say it, and you are less sure it landed. We fix that using your own emails, meetings and presentations.

Unfortunately we will can'twon't be able to deliver before Friday. I will inform you untilby tomorrow about the new date.

What we work on

You choose the priorities. Most people start with one or two of these.

  • Emails and messages

    Writing that is clear, polite and short. Saying no, chasing a reply, giving bad news, and getting the tone right for a client or a director.

  • Meetings and calls

    Joining in at the right moment, disagreeing without sounding rude, and following fast speakers and unfamiliar accents.

  • Presentations

    A structure people can follow, natural linking phrases, and calm answers to questions you did not prepare for.

  • Interviews and pay

    Strong answers about your experience, questions to ask them, and the language of negotiating a salary.

  • Pronunciation and clarity

    The handful of sounds and stress patterns that make people ask you to repeat yourself.

I use this English at work, not only in lessons.

Alongside tutoring I work in commercial estimating and project management for a UK company. On an ordinary day I price work, write to clients and suppliers, chase late answers and explain delays.

So when we practise a difficult email or a tense call, I am not teaching from a coursebook. I am showing you how those conversations sound between British colleagues, including the polite phrases that mean something less polite.

How the lessons run

  1. Bring real work

    An email you need to send, slides for next week, a meeting you are nervous about. Remove anything confidential first.

  2. We work through it

    You speak and write; I listen, stop you at the important mistakes and show you the better version.

  3. You get the corrections

    After each lesson I send your mistakes, the fixes and the phrases worth keeping.

  4. You use it the same week

    The email gets sent. The meeting happens. Next lesson we look at how it went.

Questions people ask

What level do I need?

These lessons work best from intermediate (B1) upwards. If you are not sure of your level, the free call will tell us both.

My company is paying. Can I have an invoice?

Yes. Tell me the company details on the call and the invoice will be addressed to your employer.

I work in a technical field. Will you understand my subject?

You are the expert in your subject; I am the expert in how to say it in English. Bring your real documents and we will build the vocabulary from them.

Tell me what you need English for.

On a free 30-minute call you describe your job and where English slows you down. I will tell you what I would work on first.
