Business English coaching

Our process

We provide a relaxed environment where learning occurs through interaction. Conversations are tailored specifically to individual business requirements and designed to motivate and encourage people to speak English confidently in formal and informal business situations.

Our business coaching is centred on guided English conversation and social interaction. Our ultimate goal is to provide a fun and relaxed environment where you can practice and improve your business English in real-life situations and with real-life examples.

Business English coaching can take place on-site or in a more relaxed environment of your choice. We offer both regular sessions for sustained English language coaching and one-off sessions to train for specific projects, presentations, interviews, meetings, sales or social events.

Our coaching is tailored specifically to your business needs. We work with you to determine areas of focus, discussion topics, specialist vocabulary, specific language skills, etc. We can also provide intercultural business training to help you recognise and understand intercultural differences, customs and business strategies specific to your target audience.

For inspiration, here are a few examples of discussion topics that we offer:

• Product pitching, sales and marketing
• Small talk and informal communication
• Telephone & conference call techniques for non-native speakers
• Industry specific vocabulary and implementation
• Acronyms and their usage
• Presenting in a second language
• Negotiation
• Colloquialisms & specialized language
• Techniques to avoid miscommunication
• Intercultural business etiquette – norms and faux pas
