1-to-1 English Coaching
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.”

Most of my students come to me with similar frustrations.
Do any of these feel like you?

partnership.
Here’s what every student gets when they work with me:
A completely personalised learning plan
— every lesson is designed around your specific goals and gaps, not a generic syllabus.
Speaking practice focused on your real-life situations
— we focus on the real language you need: emails, calls, meetings, conversations, presentations.
Detailed feedback on mistakes and pronunciation
— we identify what’s working and what to improve, in a way that builds your skills and confidence.
Flexible scheduling that fits around your work and life
— sessions fit around your life, not the other way around. Online or in person.
Support between sessions when you need help
— questions, practice materials, and encouragement when you need it.
Clear goals and measurable progress
— knowing when you have achieved a measurable goal
"Before coaching, I could understand English well, but I froze whenever I had to speak. Now I can participate confidently in meetings and conversations without overthinking every sentence."

About Me
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.
QUESTIONS
Things people often ask before booking.
What happens in the free consultation call?
The consultation is a relaxed 45-minute conversation.
We’ll discuss your goals, your current level, the situations where you need English, and what’s been holding you back.
You’ll leave with a clear idea of how coaching could help you. There is absolutely no obligation to continue afterwards.
How are sessions delivered?
Sessions are delivered online, usually by video call.
This means you can join from home, the office, or wherever you feel comfortable. The focus is always on practical speaking, useful feedback, and real communication.
How often do we meet, and how long are sessions?
Most students meet once per week, although this can be adjusted to suit your schedule and goals.
Sessions typically last 60 minutes, giving us enough time to practise, receive feedback, and work on the areas that matter most to you.
I'm already an advanced speaker. Can you still help me?
Absolutely.
Many advanced learners are no longer struggling with grammar or vocabulary. Instead, they want to sound more natural, more confident, and more persuasive in professional situations.
Coaching can help you refine your communication, improve fluency under pressure, and develop the language skills needed for meetings, presentations, networking, and leadership roles.
How quickly will I see results?
That depends on your starting point, your goals, and how consistently you use English between sessions.
Many students notice improvements in confidence and speaking fluency within a few weeks. Longer-term improvements in accuracy, vocabulary, and professional communication develop through regular practice and coaching.
What does it cost?
Coaching programmes are tailored to the individual, so pricing depends on your goals, the frequency of sessions, and the level of support you need.
During the free consultation, I’ll explain the available options and recommend the most suitable approach for you. There is no obligation to continue.
