Speak English with Confidence – Learn & Grow with a Unique Blend of Teaching and Coaching
I don’t just teach English – I coach confidence.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you want to improve your English — not just to pass an exam, but to use it naturally, confidently, and effectively in real life.
Maybe you’re a professional preparing for an international meeting.
Maybe you’re a student aiming for a high score on IELTS or TOEFL.
Or maybe you’ve been studying English for years but still feel nervous about speaking in important situations.
Wherever you are in your journey, you’re in the right place.
I’m Colin Dorman, a Corporate English Trainer with over 20 years of experience. I’ve taught Business English, exam preparation, academic writing, and communication skills across the UK, Thailand, and China. What makes my approach different is that I don’t just teach English — I also coach my learners to unlock their confidence and communicate with impact.
“Speak English with confidence, clarity, and impact — in every meeting, interview, and international conversation.”
“Your English might be ‘good enough’—but is it helping you stand out in meetings?”
Why My Approach Is Different
Many English learners think their biggest challenge is grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation. Of course, these things are important. But what I’ve learned over the years is this:
👉 The higher your level of English, the less you need teaching and the more you need coaching.
At beginner or intermediate stages, you need structured teaching — the rules, the vocabulary, the building blocks. But once you reach B2, C1, or C2, the challenge changes. It’s no longer about knowing more English. It’s about:
- Confidence – trusting yourself to speak naturally without hesitation.
- Authenticity – expressing your personality and ideas clearly in English.
- Adaptability – handling interviews, presentations, and cultural differences with ease.
These aren’t things you can just learn from a textbook. They require reflection, guidance, and practice in real-life situations. That’s where coaching comes in.
My method combines both:
- Teaching for structure, strategies, and practical tools.
- Coaching for confidence, mindset, and real-world application.
This blended approach helps learners not only improve their English but also become effective communicators.
Who I Work With
Over the years, I’ve taught and coached a wide range of learners, including:
Corporate professionals preparing for meetings, negotiations, and presentations.
Job seekers getting ready for interviews, CV/resume writing, and career transitions.
University students working on academic writing, IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, and SATs.
Advanced learners who already know English well but need to overcome fear, hesitation, or self-doubt when speaking.
Every learner is different. That’s why my lessons are always personalised — no cookie-cutter textbooks, no one-size-fits-all approach.
What You’ll Gain?
Here’s what you can expect when you work with me:
Practical skills you can use immediately. Whether it’s phrases for a presentation, techniques for handling interview questions, or strategies for writing more clearly, everything we do is connected to your real-life goals.
Confidence and authenticity. You’ll stop second-guessing yourself and start speaking naturally, in a way that feels professional and true to you.
Guidance and feedback. You’ll learn what to say, but also how to say it, with personalised coaching every step of the way.
Sustainable progress. Teaching gives you the tools. Coaching ensures you know how to use them independently, long after the lessons are finished.
