English Communication Coaching for International Landscape Architects

My Coaching

Hi! Are you a Landscape Architect using English as a second language for work?

I’m Camilla, a qualified English teacher and former garden designer. I provide online English language coaching to help ESL Landscape Architects and related professionals build confidence and clarity when speaking and writing in English.

You are an ambitious, hard-working and busy professional. Speaking in English is challenging for you and is affecting your ability to do your job satisfactorily.

More than that, it has got to the point where your confidence and self-belief is affecting your ability to do your job satisfactorily. How can you impress clients and colleagues if you can’t confidently convey your ideas, thoughts and feelings? You can’t afford to be shy about it anymore!

Let me help you. I have created a niche business, Cultivate English, combining my experience as a garden designer with my knowledge as an English teacher. My English lessons are different.

I understand the specific language Landscape Architects need to do their job and the challenges they face. I can fast-track your learning, giving you customised lessons, flexibility, individual attention, faster progress, and greater focus. I will also provide you with an enjoyable and effective learning experience.

Don’t let your English hold you back from achieving your career goals.

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."
