Get better at speaking English
in the meetings that matter.

I run small English groups for engineers and other professionals. You practise the exact situations you deal with at work, and I give you honest feedback every week.

  • Small groups of 8 to 10 people
  • 12 weekly sessions, taught by me
  • Scenarios from your actual job, not a textbook

Engineers in a design review, discussing an architecture diagram

What a session looks like

You and your group work through one real situation, live, with me guiding it. Here are a few we run.

Design review

Present a technical decision and defend it while people push back.

Incident postmortem

Walk through what went wrong and stay clear when the pressure is on.

Daily standup

Give a short update, flag a risk, and ask for what you need.

Client call

Explain something technical to someone who is not an engineer.

How it flows

  1. 1

    You get the brief

    The scenario and any materials arrive before the session, so you can prepare.

  2. 2

    You get a role

    One week you lead, the next you push back. Roles change so you practise all of it.

  3. 3

    You talk

    Fifty minutes of real conversation. Nothing scripted.

  4. 4

    You get notes

    I tell you what worked and what to fix, and I keep a running log of your common mistakes.

Who you learn with

You learn with me, Darren

I have taught English for over 15,000 hours, most of it with working professionals who already speak well but freeze up in the moments that count. A design review. A standup in front of the whole team. A call with a client who does not know the technical side.

That is what we practise. You leave each session knowing what to say next time, and I keep track of the small mistakes that keep coming back so we can fix them for good.
