Pierre Austin

With over 8 years of experience in language coaching, I am here to be your dedicated companion on your journey towards improvement.

My goal is to provide you with expert guidance, valuable pointers, and effective coaching to enhance your speaking skills and boost your confidence.

My method is based on a five step process designed to encourage you, correct your errors and improve your speaking.

Together, we will overcome mental barriers, dispel negative thoughts, and reshape any attitudes that might impede your progress and performance.

Step 1: Improve your conversational skills
Our sessions will revolve around engaging and focused conversations, centered on topics of your choice. This approach will not only enhance your ability to express yourself effectively in English but also allow me to identify and address any specific speaking issues you may have, such as shyness, accent concerns, or fear of making mistakes.

Step 2: Empower yourself and lose your fear of making mistakes
Lose your embarrassment by shedding any fear of making mistakes. I will provide constructive feedback on your language usage, identifying patterns of errors and working with you to eliminate them. My aim is to help you gain confidence in catching and correcting your own mistakes, freeing you from the burden of perfectionism, and ensuring a smooth flow of communication.

Step 3: Speak more clearly and suffer less from accent shame
Your accent is part of your unique identity, and my focus will be on helping you speak clearly and understandably, rather than eradicating your accent. I will equip you with techniques to enhance your pronunciation and remove any negative thoughts or attitudes related to your accent. This way, you can achieve better speaking performance without feeling self-conscious.

Step 4: Boost your vocabulary and become a versatile speaker
Expand your vocabulary and become a more versatile speaker. Our sessions will involve reading short articles relevant to your interests and field, allowing you to learn new expressions. Additionally, we'll watch videos featuring different accents and speaking styles to improve your comprehension and ability to understand English speakers from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Step 5: Reach the next level and speak more professionally
Advance your English proficiency through focused exercises targeting specific areas of improvement, such as grammar and sentence construction. By honing your ability to ask proper questions and respond promptly, you'll gradually develop the skills to correct your own errors and sound more professional in your interactions.
