In a client meeting, before coaching
"Sorry, I think maybe we could possibly look at moving the date, if that's okay?"
"I recommend we move the launch to the 14th. Here's why."
Same person, same English. A clearer structure and the confidence to use it.
Your English is good. It just doesn't show up on cue.
Most of my clients don't need more grammar. They need their English to work under pressure.
The meeting
You know the answer, but by the time you've built the perfect sentence, the conversation has moved on.
The interview
Your CV gets you in the room. Your English has to tell your story clearly, concisely and in your own voice.
The client or patient
You need to be precise and reassuring at the same time, and understood first time.
Coaching for individuals
One-to-one and online. We work on the meetings, presentations, emails and conversations you actually have, not textbook dialogues.

Practical workplace English shaped by my own years in care management.
More than 17 years in business before I taught a lesson
I'm Shaun Simpson. I spent more than 17 years in the corporate world, including care management and coaching managers, before I started teaching English. I know what it's like to need the right words in a difficult meeting, because I've been in those meetings.
Today I coach professionals and train teams to communicate clearly and confidently in British English. I'm also a published writer.

What clients say
"One of the most remarkable things about [Shaun] is the attention and interest that he has in your learning and also that he is a very good 'active listener'. I highly recommend doing classes with him."
Marta
"It was a good practice of improving fluency without thinking too much about using advanced words and 100% correct grammar… [it] would hopefully help me build my confidence to speak English little by little."
Yelin
"Shaun was patient and supportive. He spent time to get to know my situation… and offered his professional advice. I highly recommend him."
