There are many people who now have an advanced level of English and continue to receive traditional English classes. In many cases, these classes have turned into mere conversation classes that offer little value to the student.
However, we can approach this differently, there is a much better option.
If we replace an everyday conversation with a ‘coaching conversation’ and add a methodology which focuses on improving pronunciation and grammatical accuracy, we won’t only start to see improvements in the coachee’s English, but the coachee will make important progress towards the achievement of other professional goals.
Typical areas for coaching
- Time management
- Communication skills
- Stress management
- Leadership
- Conflict management
- Public speaking
- Work/life balance
- Managing change
- Dealing with difficult people

Programme options
Programme of 4-8 fortnightly sessions of approximately 1 hour’s duration. The frequency of the sessions can be adapted to the needs of the client and coachee.
The GROW methodology is used for the overall coaching process and for each individual session
The coachee commits to the completion of tasks between sessions which will help him/her move towards achieving the final objective.
In this programme, the focus is exclusively on coaching, language weaknesses are not addressed.
Programme of 4-8 fortnightly sessions each of approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes duration.
During the session the coach/teacher will note language errors but will not correct the coachee at this stage so as not to distract him/her.
Once the actual coaching part of the session has finished, the coach/teacher will give feedback on the coachee’s linguistic errors.
On completion of the agreed number of coaching sessions, (usually between 4-8), personalised English classes will be prepared based on the language weaknesses detected throughout the coaching sessions.
