English Coaching for Landscape Architects.

Transform your relationship with English so you can focus on professional growth.

Ditch the fear of making mistakes and trust in your ability to speak English when you need it.

You’re a professional Landscape Architect, Urban Designer or Garden Designer speaking English as a second language.

You’re creative and passionate about design in all its forms. You ‘live and breathe’ all things landscape whether at work or not! You are also ambitious and hard-working and, increasingly, you are finding that you have to speak in English with a wide range of professionals who don’t necessarily speak your first language.

However, you are not confident speaking English and it’s stopping you connecting with people who matter.

It is fact that those with better English are much more successful at doing international business. They are more respected, come across as more trustworthy, and are perceived as having greater authority.

You know, that to thrive as an international Landscape Architect, you need to feel comfortable with your English so that others can feel comfortable with you.

This is why I have created a coaching programme designed especially to help give you the

‘Freedom to Communicate’ in English.

How to work with me

Coaching Programmes

Freedom to Communicate

My core programme is designed to take you through five principle milestones, focusing on the occasions when you need to speak most as a Landscape Architect.

We will work together 1:1 over 12 sessions, giving you plenty of opportunity to practise your English with a native speaker so that you can ditch the fear of making mistakes and finally start to enjoy speaking English.

Plan to Pitch

A workshop spread over two sessions to help you structure, refine and present a concept plan. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

This workshop is all about preparing a formal presentation of your work. I will show you how to organise your thoughts to enable you to frame your design solutions and their benefits concisely and persuasively.

Speak with Impact

Feel prepared and confident if you have a last minute interview or exam coming up. Learn to communicate with more spontaneity and answer unexpected questions.

Flexible coaching option with up to 6 sessions working with me 1:1 focusing purely on impromptu speaking skills and strategies to impress under stress for those occasions when you can’t plan ahead!

Hi, I’m Camilla

As a former Garden Designer I understand the communication skills needed by Landscape Architects. I’ve combined my background in landscape design, my teacher training and my experience working with landscape architects worldwide, to create a unique and complete coaching package tailored specifically for ESL design professionals.

As designers of the natural environment, your work shapes the world around us. Your ideas deserve to be heard. Your vision needs to be shared. And your voice can be your greatest asset. The world needs your ideas, your vision and your voice now more than ever.

Working as a garden designer I've learned how ideas take shape, how landscapes solve problems and bring joy, and how important communication is to make designs a success.

That's why I created CULTIVATE ENGLISH, to help professionals like you confidently express your ideas, influence decisions, and connect with clients in a way that feels natural, authentic and liberating. I'm here to help you cultivate that voice and give you the freedom to communicate.

This is what Cultivate English clients say:

  • “I have learned a new way to learn English in a much more fun and effective way that has helped me not only in my confidence with English but also in the way I communicate even in Spanish in my day-to-day professional life. If you really want to learn English adapted to your circumstances, don't hesitate to follow the classes with Camilla, it is a path I would not hesitate to repeat.”

    Gracia de la Lastra, Landscape Architect, La Bella Sombra Paisajismo

  • "Working with Camilla really helped my client relationships! She identified areas for improvement in the pronunciation of keywords. Now, I feel confident that my ideas are coming across more clearly. Plus, my English vocabulary has grown - I feel I can express myself more professionally. Thanks, Cultivate English!"

    Stefano Assogna, Garden & Landscape Designer

  • “Your coaching is a constant guide that makes me learn as much as possible - also from my mistakes - and that encourages me to do my best. You teach me English but you often give me professional hints on my work as a designer and you guide me in my relationship with others - one of the most important things. Your coaching makes me a better speaker, designer and what's best, a better person.”

    Matilde Tonelli, Garden Designer

  • Working with Camilla was a very interesting and educational experience. We covered different topics from soft skills to garden design and garden-related vocabulary. I improved my English, dealing with new and clear topics. I immediately put her teachings into practice effectively with my foreign clients! Absolutely recommended! She is a competent teacher, kind, patient and easily adapted to my requests to customise the course! I have already asked her to prepare me for a new course!"

    Matilde d'Oriano, Architetto Paesaggista

  • "Studying with Camilla provided me with the confidence to attend and successfully pass my professional charter exam, for which I am more than grateful, but. More importantly, I acquired a better understanding of how to improve communication within a professional environment particularly when working closely with clients and stakeholders, a key part of my working day."

    Juanangel Fermin, Landscape Architect

  • "I have gained a lot of confidence speaking. Getting an honest and straightforward feedback about my speaking and pronunciation helped me to focus in specific areas and gave me the confidence to speak more freely and fluenty as I was aware of my strengths and weaknesses. Thank you Camilla, it was really worth the time and effort we both put in the classes. I feel really happy to have reached to you and finish the course. Although I wish I have had more time to dedicate to the classes I think I considerably benefit from the lessons. I feel really happy and satisfied."
