About us
CITY ENGLISH FOR PROFESSIONALS. Meetings, Presentation, Job Interview practice, Introductions & much more
DO YOU…? (If yes, join us)
- Feel stuck at your level because your skills are strong, but your English is holding you back — and it’s starting to affect promotion opportunities?
- Speak English at work, but still don’t sound as senior/confident as you are in your own language?
- Still make tense mistakes, even after years of learning — and need a clear way through the maze of tenses?
- Avoid speaking up in meetings because you’re worried you’ll sound unclear, too direct, or not professional enough?
- Find it hard to interrupt politely, disagree, clarify, or summarise when the conversation moves fast?
- Want real correction (not just friendly chat) so you actually improve?
- Need stronger English for presentations, updates, client calls, and handling questions on the spot?
- Know the words, but struggle to make your English sound natural and corporate-ready?
If you’re thinking “yes” — this group is for you.
WHAT THIS GROUP IS
City English for Professionals is an online speaking group for working professionals who need English for real work situations — meetings, client calls, presentations, and day-to-day workplace communication.
This is NOT a casual social chat group, and it’s NOT for students or hobby learners. It’s focused, structured practice designed to help you speak with more accuracy, authority, and confidence — the kind that shows up in meetings and career progression.
WHAT WE DO IN SESSIONS (SMALL GROUPS)
- Guided professional discussions (so you practise the language you actually need)
- Live error correction (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, clarity)
- Tense clarity: practical frameworks for choosing the right tense fast (present perfect vs past simple, narrative tenses, future forms, since/for, already/yet, etc.)
- Meeting English: updates, clarifying, pushing back, negotiating, action points, follow-ups
- Presentation skills: structure, signposting, confident delivery, Q&A handling
- Vocabulary upgrades: natural professional phrasing and collocations (less textbook, more real-life workplace English)
- Confidence + fluency drills: speaking smoothly, thinking faster, fewer blank moments
WHO IT’S FOR
- Professionals working in (or connected to) City of London / corporate environments
- People who use English at work and want serious improvement with correction
- Learners who want to level up their career communication
WHO IT’S NOT FOR
- Students, casual learners, or “English for fun”
- People who don’t want feedback or correction
ABOUT THE ORGANISER (SARAH)
Hi — I’m Sarah, a TEFL-qualified English teacher specialising in Business English speaking for working professionals.
For 6+ years, I’ve helped professionals improve the English that affects careers most: how you speak in meetings, how you present, how you handle pressure, and how you come across when it matters. This isn’t “English as a hobby” — it’s targeted support for people who want real career progress.
I don’t just work with people aiming for promotions and better roles — I’ve helped them achieve them. Many of my students have gone on to secure:
- Promotions and internal moves
- New roles in different teams or companies
- More responsibility, higher confidence, and better pay
I’ve worked with professionals connected with organisations such as TfL (London) and the Bank of England, as well as individuals in European corporate environments across sectors including finance/banking, tech, medical/healthcare, legal, consulting, and operations/project management.
YOUR SUCCESS IS MY SUCCESS.
