Business English Programmes are customised to meet the individual and corporate current challenges and goals

Do you feel lost in meetings, but you’re unsure of what to say about it?

Do you fear the way you write your emails, proposals, and reports is making you look like less of an expert than you really are?

But you don’t have to use perfect grammar and complicated expressions in English to be understood and respected in your day-to-day communication.

Word art, a pentagon filled with verbs and nouns describing change moving up.

Communicating effectively in spoken and written English is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand skills in business. From administrative assistance up to the highest levels of your company, the written word is being used to set appointments, close deals, and spread great ideas – so accuracy is extremely important. But when you’re speaking, you don’t have to be perfect. You just need to be understood.

Melanie helps her clients identify and focus on their most important current challenges, so they can make progress where it will really matter.

The Business English Programmes are for you if you want to…

Be clearly understood by global business partners in meetings and via email…

Encourage meeting participants, as a leader, when there is a large variation in English levels present…

Adapt, like a chameleon, and vary your English between informal and formal settings…

… Or be fully prepared for the challenging questions at your next interview.

From hesitant to confident when negotiating across borders 

After only a few sessions, my English was already improving which was very motivating. Melanie’s flexibility and willingness to adapt to my needs were highly appreciated. As a result of our work together, my pronunciation is clearer, and my listening skills have improved due to my vocabulary work. This is important when negotiating with clients across borders.
