Job Title Professional English Speaking & Communication Coach – Meetings, Interviews & Workplace Practice Job Description I am looking for an experienced English communication coach to help me improve my professional speaking, confidence, reasoning, and ability to explain my thoughts clearly. I already speak English and work in a professional environment. I am not looking for basic English lessons or grammar-only tutoring. My main challenge is that sometimes I know what I want to say, but during meetings, interviews, or unexpected questions, I get stuck or have difficulty organizing my thoughts and explaining them professionally. I would like our sessions to be mostly realistic speaking practice and role-play. For example, you may act as: * My supervisor asking questions about my work * An interviewer asking behavioural or situational questions * A colleague challenging my recommendation or asking “why?” * Someone in a Teams meeting asking me to explain a technical issue or proposed solution * A manager asking me to present a plan or recommendation * A person discussing or debating a topic where I need to explain and defend my reasoning * A teacher, school administrator, or other professional where I need to communicate clearly and confidently I want you to ask me follow-up questions and unexpected questions, rather than giving me the answers immediately. After I answer, I would like you to help me improve: * How I organize my thoughts * Sentence structure and professional wording * Vocabulary * Clarity and conciseness * Confidence and speaking fluency * How I explain my reasoning * How I answer difficult or unexpected questions * How to disagree or give an opinion professionally * How to present a recommendation, problem, solution, or plan For example, if my answer is confusing or too long, I would like you to say something like: “Here is a clearer way you could have explained that,” and then have me try the answer again. Session Format I am looking for approximately 1-hour sessions, potentially on a regular basis if we work well together. I prefer someone who is comfortable having natural conversations rather than following a textbook. Ideal Freelancer Experience in one or more of the following would be helpful: * Business English coaching * Professional communication coaching * Interview coaching * Public speaking * Workplace communication * Debate or critical-thinking practice * Presentation coaching * Leadership or executive communication * ESL coaching for professionals Native-level English is preferred, but excellent professional English and strong coaching skills are more important. When applying, please briefly tell me: 1. Your experience with professional/workplace communication coaching. 2. How you would structure a typical 1-hour session. 3. Whether you are comfortable doing role-play and challenging me with follow-up questions. 4. Your hourly rate. I am looking for someone patient but also willing to correct me, challenge my thinking, and push me to become a stronger professional speaker.

Hello, I’d love to help you improve your professional English speaking, workplace communication, confidence, reasoning, and interview skills. I have an M.Ed. in TESOL along with professional experience in communication, education, digital technology, and business-related environments, and I can provide practical speaking practice rather than basic grammar lessons. My approach would be highly interactive and focused on real-world situations. I can act as a manager, supervisor, interviewer, colleague, client, or meeting participant and ask you follow-up and unexpected questions so you learn to think and respond naturally under pressure. Typical 1-hour session 10 min: Natural conversation/warm-up 15 min: Workplace or interview role-play 15 min: Challenging follow-up and unexpected questions 10 min: Detailed feedback on structure, vocabulary, clarity, and professional wording 10 min: Repeat the answer using improved language and communication techniques I will not simply give you the correct answer. I’ll challenge your reasoning, ask “why?” and follow-up questions, identify weaknesses, provide a clearer professional version, and then ask you to try again until your response becomes more confident and organized.

I have accumulated many years of experience in teaching English, Spanish and Italian to foreigners, working with various private institutions and companies, offering both individual and group lessons, at home and online, from elementary to advanced levels. I guarantee passion and dedication in my work and manage to convey enthusiasm in my students. The quality of my work is certified by the fact that I have always obtained top marks in evaluation questionnaires from the companies where I have taught language courses. My aim is to provide students with a solid grammatical foundation combined with an enrichment of their personal vocabulary, enabling them to achieve a good mastery of both oral and written language. To do this, I structure my lessons with a balanced mix of grammar and conversation, always customising the lessons according to the student's needs and abilities. I perform translations, including sworn translations, into English, Spanish and Portuguese. References are provided upon request.

With a background in recruitment and international talent acquisition, including experience recruiting property managers for a UK company, I am well-positioned to support your professional communication goals. As a TEFL-certified tutor who has taught at Top English and HZAD Education, combined with my HR and recruitment experience conducting interviews and assessing communication skills, I understand exactly what it takes to help professionals organize their thoughts, speak with confidence, and explain their reasoning under pressure. I am very comfortable with role-play and will act as your supervisor, interviewer, colleague, or anyone else you need, asking follow-up and unexpected questions rather than handing you answers. After each response, I will give specific feedback on organization, sentence structure, vocabulary, clarity, and confidence—showing you a clearer way to express the same idea and having you try again. My sessions are natural conversation rather than textbook drills, and I am patient but direct in correcting and challenging you to become a stronger professional speaker. I am available to start immediately.

I am a public speaker since many years. In my professional role as a Paediatric doctor, I am able to converse with people of all ranks who work around me in my milieu. I have strong leadership qualities. My style of working is to bend like a reed when in an adverse situation, but to bounce back when circumstances are favourable. I believe in controlled aggression as a way to get things done. If you like such qualities, please accept my bid. Thank you.

I have 7+ years in multinational companies, communicating with board members, vendor teams, and directors. I've presented plans to leadership, negotiated with vendors, handled tough 1:1s with managers, and prepared for annual evaluations myself. I know what it's like to have the right idea but struggle to say it clearly under pressure — and how to fix that. Session structure (1 hr): • Quick warm-up, pick a real scenario (meeting, interview, 1:1, negotiation, evaluation) • Live role-play (25-30 min): I play supervisor/interviewer/colleague/vendor, ask follow-ups and unexpected questions • Feedback (20 min): restructure weak answers, tighten wording, you retry improved • Wrap-up: 2-3 focus points for next time Role-play: Yes, fully comfortable playing multiple roles and pushing back with "why" and follow-ups, like real meetings. Rate: 20 cad Available for regular sessions. Happy to start with a scenario from your actual work so you see results immediately. Looking forward to working together.
