The challenge is expressing yourself clearly when the pressure is on

Business English Coaching

Many professionals assume they need more English. Sometimes they do. But often, the real challenge is expressing yourself clearly under pressure.

It can feel like you are being judged when you have to communicate in English at work. Something shifts, you hesitate, and afterwards you replay it: "That is not how I normally sound. I know I am better than that."

Public speaking often makes people feel nervous, especially in a second or third language. Whether that shows up as a quiet anxiety before speaking, holding back in meetings, or completely losing your words under pressure, the result is the same. You are not showing up as the professional you know you are.

That gap can be closed. Not necessarily by learning more English, but by understanding what is happening in those moments and training yourself to respond differently. So that you sound like yourself in English, even under pressure.

One-to-one coaching or a small group course. Both follow the same Calm, Clarity, Confidence framework. Both delivered live via Microsoft Teams.

Speak Up When English Matters Most — Six-Week Group Coaching Programme
Speak Up When English Matters Most — Six-Week Group Coaching Programme
£197.00 £347.00

Before purchasing, please contact Tanya to confirm availability and timing for the next cohort. You can use the contact page or join the waiting list on the course page. There is no pressure to commit until you have had a conversation and confirmed that the timing works for you.

This is the introductory price for the founding cohort. When the introductory phase ends, the price returns to £397.

This six-week live coaching programme is for international professionals who want to stay calm, think clearly, and speak English with confidence when it matters most. In meetings, in presentations, in the moments where the stakes are real and the English needs to show up.

This is not a language course. You already have the English. What this programme addresses is what happens to it under pressure, and how to change that response so that you can access what you know when it actually counts.

Sessions are live, weekly, and fifty minutes each. The group is small by design, with a maximum of four participants per cohort. That size means everyone speaks in every session, and the work stays focused, practical, and genuinely personalised.

All sessions are delivered via Microsoft Teams. Payment is taken via Stripe before the cohort begins. If you would prefer to be invoiced in a different currency, please contact Tanya before purchasing to arrange this.

This programme is for professionals already working in English and is not suitable for beginners or learners below upper-intermediate level.

Speak Up With Confidence — Three-Session Coaching Intensive
Speak Up With Confidence — Three-Session Coaching Intensive
£270.00

This focused three-session coaching intensive is for international professionals who need to perform in English under pressure.

Whether that is:

  • an important presentation

  • a job interview

  • a client meeting

  • or simply the day-to-day moments at work where your English does not do justice to what you actually know.

Three sessions are a focused, practical starting point. They will give you a clear understanding of what is getting in the way, two practical tools you can use immediately, and a structure for speaking more confidently in the situation that matters most to you right now.

What we cover:

Session 1. Your starting point. We identify exactly what is happening when your English under pressure breaks down, and what is driving it. If you have a specific event coming up, we use that as our focus from the start.

Session 2. Your reset tools. You learn practical techniques you can use in seconds, before or during any high-pressure moment. A presentation, an interview, an unexpected question.

Session 3. Your framework and practice. You practise one clear structure for responding confidently, even without preparation time. We finish with a plan you can use immediately after our work together ends.

Between sessions you have the option to submit short audio or video recordings for detailed feedback. This is optional but highly recommended as a tool for progress and self-awareness.

All sessions are 50 minutes, delivered via Microsoft Teams.

Payment is taken in full before we begin. If you would like to discuss whether this programme is right for your situation, please use the contact page to arrange a free 20-minute discovery call first.

Euro invoices available on request.
