Your English,
finally working
for you.
You already know far more English than you think. What you need isn’t more grammar rules — it’s the confidence, clarity, and fluency to actually use it. That’s exactly what I help you with.
“I used to freeze up the moment I had to speak English at work. Now I lead meetings. The difference is enormous.”
— Maria, Project Manager, GermanyYou’re not struggling
with English. You’re struggling
with confidence.
Most of my students come to me with similar frustrations. Do any of these feel like you?
“I go blank when I need to speak.”
You know the words — but under pressure, your mind empties. We’ll fix that together, session by session.
“I’ve been learning for years but I’m stuck.”
Traditional courses teach the language, not how to use it. I close that gap with real, practical conversation.
“I’m embarrassed by my accent or mistakes.”
Your accent is not a problem. Being understood confidently is the goal — and it’s absolutely achievable.
“My English holds me back at work.”
Emails, meetings, presentations — I’ll help you communicate professionally so your ideas get the attention they deserve.
Simple, personal,
and built around you.
No rigid curriculum. No one-size-fits-all textbooks. Just a clear path from where you are now to where you want to be.
Free Discovery Call
We talk for 30 minutes. You tell me your goals, challenges, and what’s been holding you back. Zero pressure, no commitment required.
Your Personal Plan
I design a coaching plan specifically for you — your level, your goals, your schedule. No templates, no guesswork.
Sessions That Stick
We meet regularly online or in person. Each session is focused, practical, and builds directly on the last.
Real Progress
You start noticing the difference in days, not months. More fluent. More confident. More you — in English.
More than lessons.
A real coaching partnership.
Here’s what every student gets when they work with me:
- ✓Fully personalised sessions — every lesson is designed around your specific goals and gaps, not a generic syllabus.
- ✓Practical, usable English — we focus on the real language you need: emails, calls, meetings, conversations, presentations.
- ✓Honest, supportive feedback — I’ll tell you what’s working and what to improve, in a way that builds you up, not knocks you down.
- ✓Flexible scheduling — sessions fit around your life, not the other way around. Online or in person.
- ✓Ongoing support between sessions — questions, practice materials, and encouragement when you need it.

Hi, I’m Derek —
and I’ve helped hundreds of
people find their voice in English.
I’ve been coaching English for over 25 years, working with students from across Europe and beyond — from complete beginners to advanced speakers who just need that final polish of confidence.
I’m a native English speaker, and I specialise in making the learning process feel natural, encouraging, and genuinely useful. I’m not here to give you homework you’ll dread — I’m here to have real conversations that build real skills.
I believe the biggest barrier for most learners isn’t grammar — it’s confidence. My approach is to build both, at the same time, in every session we have together.
I’m based in Germany and available worldwide, I offer sessions both online and in person. If you’d like to know more, just book a free call — I’d love to meet you.
