Personalized programs for busy professionals who want to speak confidently without stopping to find the right words.
Are you interested in a high-quality, communication-focused, 1‑to‑1 English learning experience?
Hello! My name is Tammela Platt and I am an experienced and approachable DELTA-qualified Business English coach supporting professionals to develop their confidence to communicate freely in the workplace. I offer tailored one-to-one programs based on your current needs and future goals.
It is important that you start feeling more confident to communicate in English at work as quickly as possible. In my programs, you will do a lot of speaking and vocabulary development right from the start. We will focus on common mistakes as well as your specific errors. We’ll also simulate real workplace situations, such as meetings, interviews, negotiations, and telephone calls. Soon you will feel more confident to be able to make small talk, describe your job, chair a meeting, or make a phone call in English at work.
I have 14 years of experience teaching English and I love supporting people to improve their confidence and fluency. I have worked in the non-profit and higher education sector as a teacher, people manager and project coordinator, and I bring that experience and expertise to my work as a Business English coach.
“Professional but at the same time relaxed working atmosphere with noticeable improvement in every session…All things are very well organized and managed.”
