Meetings Interviews Presentations Clients

Say what you mean in English, with authority

English communication coaching for professionals who know their work inside out, but lose their words when it matters.

For doctors, lawyers, dentists, developers and managers working in English every day.

Free, with no obligation. We'll talk about where you are and what you need.

Sound familiar?

Your English is good. It just doesn't show up on cue.

The meeting

You know the answer, but the words arrive too late

By the time you've built the perfect sentence, the conversation has moved on without you.

The interview

Your CV gets you in the room. Your English has to do the rest

You need to tell your story clearly and concisely, and sound like yourself while you do it.

The client

Precise and reassuring at the same time

Patients, clients and colleagues need to understand you first time, without it sounding rehearsed.

What learners say

In their words

Marta

“One of the most remarkable things about [Shaun] is the attention and interest that he has in your learning and also that he is a very good ‘active listener’. I highly recommend doing classes with him.”

Yelin

“It was a good practice of improving fluency without thinking too much about using advanced words and 100% correct grammar… [it] would hopefully help me build my confidence to speak English little by little.”

Ivy Yu Tzu

“Shaun was patient and supportive. He spent time to get to know my situation… and offered his professional advice. I highly recommend him.”
Shaun Simpson

17 years in business before I taught a lesson

I spent more than 17 years in the corporate world, including care management and coaching managers, before I started teaching English. I know what it's like to need the right words in a difficult meeting, because I've been in those meetings. I'm also a published writer.

Today I coach professionals in clear, confident British English, and I write everything I teach in British English too.
