A Coaching Program Designed Around You
Your first language, profession, communication environment, and personal goals all influence the way you use English. That's why every coaching program begins with an individualized assessment of your speech and communication.
You'll receive a short questionnaire and a series of speech prompts to complete. Then, you'll record yourself speaking for a few minutes and send your recording via WhatsApp or email. I'll analyze your speech patterns, pronunciation, rhythm, stress, and overall communication before creating a personalized coaching proposal outlining your strengths, areas of focus, and recommended coaching plan.
Together, we'll focus on the communication skills that will have the greatest impact on your professional life. Whether you're preparing for presentations, leading meetings, recording a podcast, or communicating with international clients, every session is practical, evidence-based, and directly applicable to your everyday work.
01
Complimentary Consultation and Speech Assessment
We'll begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss your goals, professional communication needs, and any situations you'd like to feel more confident in. You'll then submit a short speech sample, allowing me to analyze the pronunciation, rhythm, stress, and communication patterns that have the greatest impact on your clarity.
02
Your Personalized Coaching Proposal
Following your assessment, you'll receive a personalized coaching proposal outlining your communication strengths, priority areas for development, recommended coaching plan, and package options. Every recommendation is tailored to your first language, profession, and communication goals.
03
Practical, Goal-Focused Coaching
Once you're ready to begin, we'll meet for one-to-one coaching sessions designed around the communication situations that matter most to you. Through practical, evidence-based strategies, personalized practice, and real-world application, you'll build skills that transfer directly to meetings, presentations, interviews, client conversations, and everyday professional communication.
Personalized to your goals.
Every coaching program is personalized, but depending on your goals, we may focus on one or more of the following areas.
Speech Sounds and Pronunciation
Many English speech sounds, such as "th," "r" and "l," don't exist or are produced differently in other languages. I'll identify the pronunciation patterns influenced by your first language and help you to hear and feel the difference between your production and what is typically expected by English speakers. Together, we'll build from individual sounds to words, sentences, and real conversations, gradually making clear, confident speech feel more natural and automatic.
Rhythm, Stress, and Intonation
Fluent communication is about more than individual sounds. We'll work on rhythm, stress, intonation, pausing, emphasis, thought groups, and connected speech to make your message easier to follow and more engaging. We can also incorporate idioms and everyday expressions to help you communicate more comfortably and effectively in English-speaking environments.
Accent and Intelligibility
Your accent is a reflection of the languages you speak, and the goal is never to eliminate it. Instead, we'll focus on the pronunciation patterns that have the greatest impact on clarity and listener understanding. For example, leaving off a final "s" or "z" sound can make "I manage three projects" sound like "I manage three project." Similarly, leaving off a final "t" or "d" sound can change how listeners perceive past tense. These small differences can affect meaning or be perceived as grammatical errors, even when your intended message is clear.
Communication for Your Industry
Every profession has its own vocabulary, expectations, and communication style. I'll invite you to share frequently used words and phrases, presentations, meeting agendas, project overviews, and other workplace materials so we can tailor sessions to your role. By working with real examples from your day-to-day work, you'll practice the language and communication skills you actually need to communicate clearly and confidently in your profession.
Achieving Lasting Results
The most meaningful progress happens between coaching sessions. While we'll build new skills together during our sessions, lasting change comes from consistently applying those skills in your everyday communication. After each session, you'll receive practice activities, audio recordings, and feedback designed to fit into your daily routine. Using workplace materials, vocabulary, and frequently used phrases that you provide, I can also create bespoke exercises and recordings based on the language you use every day. Your commitment to regular practice is one of the biggest factors in achieving lasting results.

Good to know.
Do I need to sound like a native English speaker?+
Not at all. The goal of coaching is not to eliminate your accent. Your accent reflects the languages you speak and is part of your identity. Instead, we'll focus on the speech and communication patterns that have the greatest impact on clarity and listener understanding, so your ideas become the focus.
What if English isn't my first language?+
Perfect. Speech coaching is specifically designed for multilingual professionals who already use English in their work. Your first language naturally influences the way you speak English, and that's completely normal. Rather than trying to change who you are, we'll build on your strengths and target the patterns that will have the greatest impact on clarity, confidence, and listener understanding.
Who is speech coaching for?+
Speech coaching is designed for multilingual professionals, executives, researchers, healthcare professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, content creators, and organizations that use English in the workplace. Whether you're preparing for presentations, leading meetings, recording a podcast, or simply want to communicate with greater confidence, coaching is tailored to your goals.
Who is speech coaching not for?+
Speech coaching is not an English language course. It's designed for professionals who already have a functional or advanced level of English and want to refine how they communicate. If your primary goal is learning English grammar, building basic vocabulary, or developing conversational English from the ground up, an English language course will be a better fit.
How are sessions delivered?+
All coaching sessions take place virtually via Zoom, making it easy to fit them around your work schedule. You'll also receive personalized practice materials and feedback between sessions to support your progress.
How many sessions will I need?+
Every coaching program is different. Following your assessment, you'll receive a personalized coaching proposal with recommendations based on your communication goals, first language, and speech patterns. Some clients are looking for a short confidence boost before an important presentation, while others choose a longer coaching program to build lasting communication habits.
How much practice should I expect between sessions?+
Consistent practice is one of the biggest factors in achieving lasting results. After each session, you'll receive personalized practice activities, audio recordings, and feedback that fit naturally into your daily routine. Most clients spend around 10 minutes a day practicing between sessions.
Can coaching focus on my profession or industry?+
Absolutely. Your coaching will be built around the communication demands of your profession. I'll invite you to share frequently used words and phrases, project overviews, presentations, meeting agendas, reports, and other workplace materials so we can practice using the vocabulary, terminology, and communication skills most relevant to your role.
Will I receive practice materials?+
Yes. You'll receive personalized practice materials, audio recordings, and resources after each session. Everything will be organized in a shared folder, making it easy to review your work and continue practicing between sessions.
Can my employer pay for coaching?+
Yes. Many employers choose to fund communication coaching as part of their professional development programs. Invoices can be provided for reimbursement or direct payment by your organization.
How do I get started?+
It starts with a complimentary consultation. We'll discuss your communication goals and determine whether coaching is the right fit. You'll then complete a personalized speech assessment and receive a coaching proposal outlining your strengths, areas of focus, recommended coaching plan, and package options.
