Ryan - Professional English Coach

Who my lessons are best suited for

I work primarily with adult professionals who already use English and want to feel more confident and precise in real working situations.

My students are typically:

Corporate professionals or people working in IT / tech roles

Using English for meetings, presentations, interviews, or day-to-day work communication

Looking for a clear, structured learning process with purposeful, guided conversation

Thoughtful, analytical learners who prefer calm explanations and time to think

People who want steady, measurable progress rather than quick tricks

My approach works especially well for professionals who want to feel prepared and confident when it matters, without being put on the spot during lessons.

What you can expect from lessons

Lessons follow a clear but flexible structure, with continuous review and adjustment as you progress. Rather than working through fixed templates, lessons are shaped around what you already do well and what you need to develop, so learning feels natural and relevant.

Ongoing review of key points, so progress builds steadily over time

Lessons tailored specifically to you, your role, and your real work situations

Focused practice for meetings, presentations, interviews, and everyday professional communication

Clear explanations and guided correction, delivered calmly and without pressure

I don't try to fit students into a predefined system. Instead, I help you strengthen what you already have and develop what's missing, at a pace that feels manageable. There's no need to perform in lessons — the aim is to build confidence gradually, so using English under pressure becomes easier and more natural.

Ryan - Professional English Coach

I work with adult professionals who use English as part of their everyday working life.

Rather than focusing on short-term performance, my approach supports steady improvement over time. Many professionals choose to work together long term, not only to develop new skills, but also to maintain confidence and clarity as responsibilities, roles, and expectations change.

Lessons are calm, focused, and shaped around real situations you encounter at work.

Why this approach works well for professionals

Professional environments place specific demands on communication. Clarity, accuracy, and confidence matter most in situations where there is little room for misunderstanding.

This approach works well because it prioritises:

Consistency over intensity

Relevance to your role and responsibilities

Clear feedback without unnecessary interruption

Progress you can feel in real working situations

It tends to suit analytical, detail-oriented professionals who prefer to understand how things work and apply improvements gradually, rather than relying on memorisation or performance.

Experience and continuity

I've been teaching English on Preply for over five years, working almost exclusively with adult professionals. During that time, I've delivered more than 3,000 lessons to students across a wide range of professional roles.

Many students choose to work with me over extended periods. This allows them not only to build new skills, but also to maintain and stabilise their English as professional demands evolve.

My work is built around:

  • Long-term professional collaboration
  • Reliable, consistent lesson delivery
  • Clear communication and follow-through

For many professionals, steady support over time makes the biggest difference.

Finding the right rhythm

Different professionals benefit from different learning rhythms.

Some students prefer meeting once a week, using lessons to maintain their level and gradually refine how they use English at work. Others choose to meet more frequently when they want to build confidence faster or are preparing for periods of increased demand, such as new roles, projects, or interviews.

There's well-established evidence in language learning that more regular contact supports faster progress, while steady weekly practice helps maintain long-term stability. Part of my role is to help you find a rhythm that fits your goals, schedule, and energy, rather than pushing a fixed model.

At the moment, I'm able to take on a small number of new professional students. During this initial phase, lessons are available at $10 per hour, giving us time to explore what pace works best and build a sustainable way of working together.

As collaboration becomes more established, rates adjust to reflect the ongoing, supportive nature of the work. There's no pressure to commit upfront — the focus is on progress that feels realistic and useful.
