Business English: Beyond the Textbook
In today’s international market, 'Business English' requires more than just regular language skills. I provide tailor-made training that connects practically with the professional situations where you need authentic English most. Whether it is refining your professional expression or ensuring your business documents are not 'lost in translation', I help you communicate with the clarity and authority of a native speaker.
I specialise in working with non-native speakers who need to navigate the nuances of English-speaking business environments. My work isn't just about ‘correcting' language; it’s about refining your voice so it remains authentic while meeting the professional demands of international leadership, facilitation, and partnership. I am CELTA-qualified, with considerable experience supporting individuals who struggle with formal learning approaches, professionals with dyslexia and ADHD, and those who simply need a little courage to communicate freely.
Services include:
- targeted training: individual or small-group sessions focused on the specific language needed for meetings, presentations, and high-stakes facilitation
- editing & proofreading: refining reports, advisory documents, and website copy to ensure they are professional, culturally appropriate, and clear
- translation (Dutch to English): translating complex organisational content into natural, professional English that preserves the original intent and tone
- communication coaching: preparing leaders for international roles by focusing on the intersection of language, group dynamics, and psychological safety.
My approach
With a background in culture, inclusion, and social safety, I bring a unique perspective to language training. I understand the importance of tone and the subtle ways language can impact power dynamics and inclusion. My sessions are practical and tailored to your day-to-day work, focusing on building a toolkit you can use immediately.
