Generally, when a person studies a foreign language, their principal focus, is on learning its grammar and vocabulary, so that they are able to read, write and speak that language.
However, in practice, many face a major challenge in putting their own voice on this language.
My career of over forty years has been in Belgium working in an international environment. During that time, I have gained extensive experience, in both coaching non native English speakers from all parts of the globe, and in public speaking.
As your English Language Coach, I want to give you, the confidence in yourself to speak in English, without being concerned as to what others might think. You have already studied English, and now my focus, is on getting you to talk.
My English Language Coaching sessions are in a relaxed and friendly environment, and are lighthearted and cheerful.
I am looking forward to meeting you, speaking in English with you, and to enjoying your achievement as you progress.
I was born in Dublin, Ireland, where I grew up and lived until early adulthood. My entire professional career has been in Belgium. Working in a multi-national environment, both with respect to colleagues, as well as with top level executive clients, provided me with, not only the opportunity to better understand the many cultures around the world, but also to softly coach colleagues who were not always native English speakers.
My home is in Limal (Wavre), where I have lived for over 40 years now.
