Business English, one to one or for teams
Meetings, presentations, negotiations, and the email you’ve rewritten four times. We practise the situations you actually face at work, with your real slides, clients and deadlines. One to one, or as a tailored programme for your team.
Where English gets tested
Nobody freezes ordering a pint. It’s the meeting where you need to disagree, or the question you didn’t prepare for. That’s what we train.
Getting a word in, disagreeing politely and summing up so people remember your point.
Say it like thisSorry, can I just come in here?
A strong opening, clear signposting and a calm answer to the tricky question at the end.
Say it like thisLet me walk you through the numbers.
Pushing back, conceding a point without losing face and closing the deal.
Say it like thisWe could meet you halfway on that.
Clear, polite and British, not translated word for word from Italian.
Say it like thisJust a quick follow-up on yesterday’s call.
Small talk that doesn’t dry up, bad lines and keeping things moving.
Say it like thisSorry, you broke up there. Could you say that again?
Your real CV turned into answers that sound natural, not memorised.

Why learn it from me
Before I taught English, I spent years in sales and technology, working with teams in the UK and Germany, and then in the fuel industry. I sat through the meetings, made the calls and gave the presentations, a fair few of them in German.
So I know what professional English actually sounds like, and what it feels like to do all that in a language that isn’t your own.
Two ways to order
One to one
Lessons built entirely around your job: your meetings, your slides, your emails, and whatever’s coming up next week.
Priced after a free call, once I know what you need.
For companies
Tailored programmes for teams who use English at work, built around the situations they actually face.
Priced for your team after a free strategy call.
For teams
We talk about your team, where they use English and what needs to change. Free, and no obligation.
A quick look at each person’s level and the situations they find hardest.
Your clients, your products, your meetings. Real scenarios from your business, not generic case studies.
A progress summary for you or your HR team, so you know the lessons are paying off.
On the bar
The words that fill a British meeting, and that Italian speakers rarely reach for. Tap a beer mat to turn it over.

Word at the bar
What students say after a few rounds of lessons.
It’s like going to an English school and taking all the courses, even extracurricular ones in a single lesson, without you having to move from your home.
