I'll help you gain fluency & confidence. Master Business English, IELTS, interviews & presentations. I specialise in helping professionals master Business English and prepare for important situations such as job interviews, presentations, and meetings. My coaching experience includes working with staff from leading companies like AXA and KPMG, so I understand the demands of international workplaces and what it takes to succeed in them. Whether you need to communicate clearly at work or pass exams like IELTS, I provide practical tools and strategies tailored to your needs. As a fellow language learner and Spanish speaker, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to learn a new language as an adult. My approach is supportive and focused on building your confidence, so you can stop fearing mistakes and start speaking English with ease. In our lessons, you will have plenty of opportunities to speak and practice, using real news articles and audio materials instead of boring textbooks. I offer real-time feedback and grammar guidance to help you improve your fluency quickly and effectively. My goal is to create a relaxed and motivating environment where you can develop your skills and reach your goals. If you want to communicate more confidently at work or prepare for exams, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Great lesson! James classes are always interesting and engaging and I feel that my English has improved a lot, since I started studying with him. He is always focused on my needs and very attentive to correct my mistakes. He has been a great support for the preparation of the IELTS exam. Thank you!
