Yes, absolutely. My expertise is built on both formal qualifications and a naturally analytical mindset. I hold an AAT Level 2 Certificate in Bookkeeping (scoring 85%, Merit), which provides the technical foundation in key concepts like double-entry bookkeeping, financial statements, and VAT. Furthermore, my GCSE Maths (Grade 9 – the highest possible) reflects a strong aptitude for the precise, logical, and analytical thinking that is directly transferable to finance. This skillset enables me to: · Analyse data and patterns to identify language learning gaps efficiently. · Break down complex problems, like explaining intricate financial concepts, into clear, understandable steps. · Apply critical thinking to tailor explanations that are not just linguistically correct, but also contextually accurate for the finance world. This means I don’t just teach general English; I understand the specific terminology and logical frameworks you use daily—from accruals and EBITDA to audit trails and financial reporting standards. Our sessions will use real-world materials like annual reports and pitch decks, not generic textbooks.

I’m very busy. How flexible is the scheduling?

Extremely flexible. I offer sessions on weekdays and evenings (BST). You can book: · Pay-as-you-go sessions for ultimate flexibility around your workload. · Packages with a fixed schedule we set together. I also provide a 24-hour rescheduling policy to accommodate unexpected work demands.

How is your coaching different from a general English tutor?

My coaching is niche-specific. While a general tutor might help with grammar, I focus on the exact communication skills you need to succeed in global finance: · Industry-Specific Language: Practicing client negotiations, presenting data, and writing audit emails. · Cultural Nuance: Navigating different business communication styles (e.g., direct vs. indirect). · Confidence in Context: Role-playing high-pressure scenarios you actually face. My background in finance (AAT) and business (MSc International Business) ensures relevance and practicality.

What results can I realistically expect, and how quickly?

While results depend on your consistency, most clients see noticeable confidence gains in 4-6 weeks. Typical outcomes include: · Leading international meetings with less anxiety. · Writing clearer, more persuasive emails and reports. · Feeling more confident explaining complex financial concepts to non-experts. We’ll set measurable goals in our first session to track your progress.
