The true value of an English coach

I have never said this before but I would like to reveal I have successfully transitioned.

From English teacher to English coach.

What's the difference?

In simple terms, a teacher is more directional and instructional, usually providing new knowledge to a bigger group of learners. A coach is more learner-focused, helping individuals develop their existing English skills to achieve personal goals.

As an online English coach for business professionals worldwide, I find that what really makes a difference to my clients is providing a customised approach - listening to my learner's needs and finding the best ways to help them improve their skills.

A good coach is a good listener. And always puts the learner first.

My own English coaching and training is highly personalised. None of my coaching sessions are the same.

For example, this month:

• I helped a small group of health and wellbeing specialists in a German energy company talk about their latest work;

• I helped a leading French sociologist present new research on migration to an international audience;

• I helped a Belgian native in Singapore improve the way he writes blogs on technology for his company's website;

• I helped Chinese native auditors and accountants in San Francisco improve their pronunciation and enrich their vocabulary.

I am also a mentor.

A key part of my job is to help my learners feel more confident using English. I do this by providing ongoing support, motivation and guidance.
