Coaching
One-to-one coaching for professionals who need to perform in English under pressure
Personalised. Focused. Built around the moments that matter most to you.
This coaching is for you if...
You are already working in English. You use it in meetings, in emails, in conversations with colleagues and clients. Most of the time it is fine. But there are moments where it is not.
Your manager asks you an unexpected question in front of the team. You are presenting to senior stakeholders. You are in a difficult conversation and need to think clearly and speak well at the same time. Something shifts. You hesitate. You lose your thread. You say less than you know.
You replay the moment afterwards and think: that is not how I wanted to come across.
If that sounds familiar, this coaching is designed for you. Not to teach you more English. To perform under pressure, you already have enough. This is about understanding why you cannot always access it under pressure, and building the tools to change that.
This coaching is not suitable for beginners or learners below upper-intermediate level.
Two ways to work together
Both programmes follow the same Calm, Clarity, Confidence framework and are delivered one-to-one via Microsoft Teams. The difference is simply the depth and duration of the work.
Speak Up With Confidence: Three-Session Coaching Intensive
Price: £270
This focused three-session programme is for professionals who have a specific situation coming up, or who want to understand what is getting in the way and get practical tools to use immediately. Whether that is a presentation, a job interview, a difficult conversation, or simply the day-to-day moments at work where your English does not do justice to what you actually know.
Three sessions will not change everything. But they will give you a clear starting point, practical tools you can use straight away, and a structure for speaking more confidently in the situation that matters most to you right now.
All sessions are 50 minutes. Between sessions you have the option to submit short audio or video recordings for detailed feedback.
Speak Up When It Matters: Six-Session Coaching Programme
Price: £497
This is the full coaching arc for professionals who are ready to make a lasting change in how they perform in English under pressure. Over six sessions you will identify your specific pressure pattern, learn practical regulation tools, build a clear speaking framework, and practise in progressively higher-pressure situations until speaking up feels natural rather than effortful.
This programme is for professionals who want to go beyond the immediate situation and build something that holds up long term.
All sessions are 50 minutes. Between sessions you have the option to submit short audio or video recordings for detailed feedback. A free Small Talk Business English PDF toolkit is included.
Payment is taken before we begin. A two-instalment option is available for the six-session programme. Please contact Tanya before purchasing to arrange this. If you would prefer to be invoiced in a different currency, this can also be arranged.
If you are interested in the group course rather than one-to-one coaching, you can find out more on the Courses page.
How the coaching works
Every coaching relationship begins with a free 20-minute discovery call. This is not a sales call. It is a conversation to understand what is getting in the way for you specifically, and to confirm that working together would be the right next step. There is no obligation and no pressure.
Once we begin, each session is built around your real workplace situations. Not generic exercises or textbook scenarios. The meetings you actually have to prepare for. The conversations that have been difficult. The moments where you want to show up differently.
Between sessions you have the option to submit short audio or video recordings for feedback. Many clients find this one of the most useful parts of the process.
All sessions are delivered via Microsoft Teams and are 50 minutes long. Recordings of sessions are available on request.
Who you will be working with
I am Tanya Kaczanow, founder of Find Your English Voice. I am a British native speaker and have been working with international professionals since 2011, first as a language teacher and increasingly as a specialist coach. Over fifteen years I have come to understand something that most language courses do not address. The professionals I work with rarely have a language problem. They have a pressure problem.
My background is unusual for a language professional. Before coaching I was a professional singer. I understand from the inside what it feels like when nerves disrupt your ability to do something you know you can do, and what it takes to build the kind of resilience that holds up when the stakes are real.
I hold a Cambridge CELTA and an Oxford TEFL qualification in Business English, which form the foundation of my language expertise. I hold an RSA Advanced Counselling qualification, which informs how I work with the psychological and emotional dimensions of speaking under pressure. I work at the intersection of performance psychology, nervous system regulation, and professional communication.
I am based in Devon, England, and work with clients worldwide via Microsoft Teams. I am also the author of Find Your English Voice and English ESL Small Talk, both available on Amazon.
Ready to find out if this is right for you?
A free 20-minute discovery call is the best place to start. We can talk about what is getting in the way for you, what you are working towards, and whether working together would be right for you. There is no obligation and no pressure to commit.
If you are ready to book a session directly, you can do that through the shop. If you have a question first, you are very welcome to get in touch via the contact page.
