Work Experience

Job Title

English Communication & Fluency Coach

Career Description

As an English Fluency Coach and CELTA-qualified trainer, I help learners develop the skills they need to communicate with confidence and clarity in real-world situations. I work with a wide range of students — from professionals improving Business English or preparing for high-stakes meetings, to adults studying for IELTS or Cambridge exams, to language teachers developing their own skills and methodology.

My teaching blends pronunciation, fluency, natural speech patterns, and communication strategy — because being understood is just as important as speaking correctly. I also provide coaching in specialised English (medical, legal, academic, etc.), tailoring every lesson to the goals and context of the student.

Learning a foreign language — especially English — is a powerful way to expand your career optionsconnect globally, and build lasting confidence in your professional identity. It sharpens your thinking, deepens cultural awareness, and gives you a voice in conversations that matter.
