Who is this program for? Professionals, Founders & Entrepreneurs who ... ... Are busy ... Need flexibility ... Would like a personalised program ... Feel they aren’t taken seriously because of their English skills ... Struggle with insecurity when speaking with international clients or investors ... Avoid networking opportunities due to (often perceived) language barriers ... Believe they need perfect English to succeed (spoiler alert: they don’t!) ... Have a reasonable degree of fluency (can hold a conversation, accuracy is not important) ... Want to work with someone who is real and a native English speaker ... Are overwhelmed with learning or bored with traditional methods ... Are not progressing as much as they would like ... Want to practice talking about subjects that matter
Why is this method different? - This is a personalised program, so we work on topics that are relevant to you - You practice when it suits YOUR schedule - The focus is speaking - to improve both English accuracy and other communication skills - No more exhausting weekly classes, no more studying grammar tables - Natural repetition to enhance retention - You take responsibility for preparation which also improves retention
How does it work? PART 1: Each month we start with a 30-minute, 1:1, video call to discuss YOUR specific needs, so that I can prepare a personalised program. PART 2: Then we move onto the hard work! Firstly, think of it in terms of speaking in front of an audience - you prepare your notes, you practice in front of the mirror, and when the big day comes, you go on stage and present. My program follows a similar concept:
- I send you 2 written personalised prompts/questions per week, via WhatsApp (or your chosen app) - In your own time, prepare your answer and practice - When you are ready, record your message, (between 2-5 minutes), then send it to me - Within 24 hours I respond with corrections and suggestions of the most important points, with explanations* - You practice again following my advice and re-record your message (if you wish) - Again, I correct if necessary (we can do this as many times as needed) *(if no correction is needed, I can send you an extra, optional, prompt)
Prompts / Questions Let me give you some examples of what my clients may need help with: - Pitching to investors or potential clients - Sounding more assertive in meetings - Being more confident when giving a presentation - Explaining problems and solutions - Making 'small talk' at a networking event
So, the prompts / questions will... - Align with your goals for the month - Encourage use of a range of grammar tenses naturally - Challenge you to reflect on your past and future decisions
My responses will offer... - Constructive feedback on improving your English accuracy - Alternative phrases that sound more professional or confident - Advice on what words to remove that undermine your authority - Suggestions on how to use incorporate other communication skills
Imagine 12 months of personalised coaching - you will... - Improve your English accuracy - Improve your communication skills - Improve your confidence - See personal and professional growth
How much is the program? 160 euros per month
When can I start? Right now!
Your questions This doesn't seem like a lot of work per week. Will I really progress? Absolutely YES! You already know you can communicate! This program focuses on the QUALITY of your communication, talking about topics that are important to you. This program has been designed for busy professionals, founders and entrepreneurs who generally have other priorities. Too much is often overwhelming and generally results in quitting. My aim is for you to get straight to the point, without wasting time so it is manageable on a consistent basis.
Surely a 1:1 regular class is better? We are all so familiar with this traditional way of teaching that it feels strange to consider another way. Remember, you are here because YOU WANT TO IMPROVE, not because you want to spend an hour with a teacher ;). But... if 1:1 coaching classes are what you want, I have a few hours per week available for this too.
