Hi, I'm Eleanor 🤝 an English Communication Coach for professionals and academics who need to speak with clarity, presence and control when it actually matters. On stage, in the meeting, in front of the room. Most people I work with aren't lacking English. They're lacking the ease to sound like themselves under pressure. The ideas are there. Something gets in the way between thinking them and saying them well. That gap is what I resolve. I work with native English speakers and confident non-natives (B2 and above), because the block is rarely the language itself. It's voice, nerves, structure and self-perception. That's the real work of speaking well. 🗣️ For over three years I guided tours at a major London national museum, presenting to everyone from general public to politicians to world-famous names. I learnt how to command a room, read an audience and connect with anyone in front of me. That's what I help you do. My 1:1 coaching is built entirely around you. Your voice, your material, your goals. No templates, no long scripts to memorise. Just you, speaking confidently and freely. 🌟 What We Work On Foundations of confident speaking ✅ Understand your natural speaking style ✅ Find your real voice and rhythm ✅ Manage nerves and mindset before you speak Structuring for impact ✅ Organise your ideas so they land ✅ Openings that hook, closings that stay ✅ Use story and example to hold attention Language that carries weight ✅ Practical phrasing for clarity and emphasis ✅ Recovery strategies when you lose your thread ✅ Vocabulary suited to your field Delivery and clarity ✅ Pronunciation, intonation and pacing ✅ Body language that supports your message ✅ Eye contact and genuine presence Engaging your audience ✅ Hold attention and read the room ✅ Handle questions and the unexpected with ease ✅ Use visuals without leaning on them Rehearsal and feedback ✅ Deliver a full talk in a supportive space ✅ Personalised, honest feedback ✅ A clear plan for what comes next 🎯 Who I Work With ✅ Professionals in law, tech, finance and the creative industries ✅ Academics preparing research talks and conference presentations ✅ B1+ / IELTS 6+ speakers ready to refine ✅ Adults only (no children or beginners) 👩‍🏫 How I Coach 🌟 Calm, perceptive, and shaped around your real goals 🌟 Fully personalised, never generic 🌟 Honest feedback on tone, flow, delivery and expression 🌟 Rooted in real communication, not textbook rules 🌍 Background 🍀 Native British speaker from London 🇬🇧 🍀 4+ years teaching English online, in person and for companies 🍀 3+ years public speaking and guiding 🍀 A career across museums, auction houses and luxury retail 🍀 Academic editor for published philosophers, art historians and lawyers 🎓 Qualifications ✅ TEFL Certified ✅ MA, Arts Policy & Management ✅ BA, Art History ✅ Certified Life Coach 🗣️ Ready to speak like yourself? 📅 Book a trial with me, or send a message if you're not sure where to start.
