How does business English coaching work?

Coaching follows five steps, from assessment to review. The number of sessions depends on your goal and deadline.

Assessment
A conversation to assess your level, understand your role, and identify the situation to prepare.
Goal and deadline
Together we define what you need to achieve, by when, and in front of which audience.
Role-plays
Each session recreates your real situations: meeting, presentation, negotiation, or interview, played with your coach.
Precise feedback
Your coach corrects what matters: clarity of message, vocabulary, pronunciation, tone, and cultural codes.
Review and next steps
We review the results after the deadline and decide whether to continue.

Advanced program

Understanding Anglo-American corporate culture

Business English also means understanding the values and codes of the Anglo-American corporate world. Our advanced program debates major business topics, so you learn to express ideas, values, and arguments with the right vocabulary.

What makes a company viable
Corporate values and mission

Letting someone go, fairly on both sides

Method: role-plays, debates, and presentations in English

Coaching follows the Break Into English method, focused on speaking and listening. You do most of the talking in every session.

Listening to business authors

You listen to extracts from leaders and authors such as Tom Peters, Jack Welch, or Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, then watch short videos on the same topics.

Debates led by the coach

You defend a position on a controversial business topic, in teams or with the coach acting as moderator.

Presentations with feedback

You present a topic or your own project, then get feedback on content, delivery, and language.

Work on your own documents

Your slides, pitch, or emails become the basis for realistic role-plays.

A good business English coach knows the language, but also meetings, clients, and decisions.

Native English coaches with real business experience

All our coaches are native English speakers, highly qualified, with extensive real-world business experience. They are also trained in the Break Into English teaching method.

Knowledge of Anglo-American cultural codes

I've had a wonderful experience learning English at this school! The program is well-structured, engaging, and truly helps you improve naturally and confidently. All the teachers are highly professional and supportive, always creating a welcoming and motivating atmosphere. I want to give special thanks to Gabu Ithier – she is an outstanding teacher! Her energy, patience, and ability to explain even the most complex things in a clear and fun way made every class a joy. I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve made with her help. Thank you to the entire team – I’m so glad I chose this school!

L'équipe prend le temps de trouver le prof idéal qui correspond à vos souhaits, à vos besoins et votre profil. Au début, ma fille a "testé" plusieurs professeurs qui ne l'ont pas satisfait (fuseau horaire et difficulté à trouver un horaire commun, méthode du professeur qui ne correspond pas à l'enfant, etc.), mais au bout de 4 professeurs on nous a enfin trouvé la perle rare et ça fait maintenant 3 ans que nous avons toujours le même professeur pour notre fille de 14 ans, et sa sœur de 12 ans a aussi commencé avec ce professeur il y a plus de 6 mois. Les progrès en anglais des deux enfants sont incroyables. Nous sommes ravis ! De plus le fait de pouvoir s'entendre sur les horaires avec les professeurs, qu'ils soient flexibles est un plus.

FAQ about business English coaching

What is business English coaching?

It is English support built around a specific professional goal: a meeting, a presentation, a negotiation, or a new international role. The coach works on both the language and the way you communicate, based on your real situations.

How is coaching different from business English lessons?

Business English lessons improve your overall level over time. Coaching starts from a specific deadline and challenge, and prepares that moment with role-plays and precise feedback. Many companies combine both.

Who is business English coaching for?

Executives, managers, sales teams, and experts who work with English-speaking colleagues, clients, or investors and need to be clear and persuasive in English.

What level of English do I need?

Coaching is most useful when you already have a solid base, from an intermediate level. If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with business English lessons, then moving to coaching before an important deadline.

Can the coaching take place at our offices?

Yes. In-company coaching takes place at your premises, one-to-one or in small groups of up to 6 participants. Contact us to check coach availability in your city.

How does online coaching work?

Sessions take place on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, one-to-one or in a small group, at times that fit your schedule. The content and method are the same as in-company.

How many sessions do I need?

It depends on your goal, your deadline, and your starting level. After the initial assessment, we suggest a number of sessions and a pace, from a few sessions before a key meeting to support over several months.

Can we work on our own documents?

Yes. You can bring a presentation, a pitch, meeting notes, or emails. We recommend removing any confidential data before sharing them.
