English Communication Coaching Services

Do you find speaking and communicating in English a challenge?

Trying to express yourself clearly can be difficult when you are under pressure to speak in English or when put on the spot.

Perhaps you can’t always find the right English words to convey what you want to say. You want to communicate ideas close to your heart with passion and conviction but find yourself too nervous to speak up.

Maybe you find it difficult to understand people speaking in English around you. They use complex phrases, and you don’t always get the meaning behind what they are saying. And they speak so fast!

You may already have excellent upper intermediate-level English and aspire to speak in a more advanced, refined way.

Is this you? As curators of our natural environment, urban parks, landscapes and gardens, there’s never been a more critical time for the world to hear what you have to say.

Working with me will help you become more confident in using English throughout each project stage of the design process. It will enable you to find your voice and take control, elevating your career potential wherever you work in the world.

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

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.”

FAQs:

  • All coaching sessions are one-to-one via Zoom, so I can work with you regardless of location and time zone.

  • Not at all. The majority of my clients have an Upper-Intermediate (B2) level of English. The coaching that I offer is designed to be tailored to your specific needs and goals.

  • Every client has their unique needs and goals. My overall objective is to work with the English you have and unlock the confidence already within you.

    I aim to get my clients talking - a lot! I give you opportunities to practise speaking in a safe space. I structure lessons with an emphasis on communicative goals to aid and encourage oral practice throughout.

  • As my clients are working professionals or busy students coaching is designed to be flexible and fit in around working hours and account for different time zones.

  • Absolutely. I have helped a number of Landscape Architects on their Pathway to Chartership. Your mentor can advise if they think you might need help with your pronunciation, or technical language or just extra oral practice before your exam. Choose my ‘Empower Your Speaking Skills’ course.

  • You can pay for ‘Building Strong Foundations’ in two instalments, half to secure your spot and half at the beginning of Week 5.
