Description
Hi!
Are you new to the UK (or recently started working in an English-speaking environment) and feeling that your communication style doesn’t “fit” British workplace culture?
Maybe you studied English before — but now you’re struggling with the real-life part:
- British politeness and indirect communication
- sounding confident without sounding rude
- speaking up in meetings (and being taken seriously)
- explaining your ideas clearly under pressure
- feeling “invisible” despite good technical skills
✨ This is not general English and not school-style lessons.
I work with career-focused international professionals who want to feel confident and respected in the UK workplace.
🚀 Why this matters
Improving your communication in English can help you:
- pass probation / trial period successfully
- get promoted faster
- be trusted with bigger responsibilities
- sound more senior and professional
- earn more because your value is clearly seen
✅ How we work (practical + real situations)
You will learn and practise what you actually need at work:
- meetings & updates
- small talk & networking
- diplomatic language / polite disagreement
- managing expectations & difficult conversations
- clear, confident communication (UK style)
👩🏫 Why work with me
• 27 years living in the UK — I understand the culture behind the language
• I specialise in helping international professionals adapt their communication style to British culture.
• Cambridge-qualified English teacher
• Master’s degree in Information Services Management
