Native English Coach - Conversation, Pronunciation & Business English
Hello! I’m Steve, a native English-speaking ESL coach from Scotland, currently based in Hong Kong until July 8, and available for in-person sessions as well as online lessons worldwide.
I have over 6 years of experience helping adult learners improve their English — not through grammar drills, but through real conversation, pronunciation coaching, confidence-building, and practical communication.
What I Offer:
✅ Conversation Practice – Build fluency and sound more natural in real-life situations
✅ Business English Coaching – Improve your English for meetings, interviews, and professional writing
✅ Pronunciation & Accent Clarity – Speak clearly, reduce hesitation, and improve how you're understood
✅ Reading Comprehension Help – Strengthen your understanding of work emails, articles, and study texts
✅ Confidence Coaching – Speak without fear, express your ideas smoothly, and enjoy using English
Who I Teach:
Adults (18+) who want to speak better English for work, travel, or daily life
Intermediate to advanced learners looking to speak more naturally and confidently
Business professionals who want to communicate clearly in English-speaking environments
People who feel “stuck” or shy and want a safe space to improve speaking skills
I also work with teenagers (ages 14+) who want to improve their speaking skills, pronunciation, or confidence in school and social situations.
Why Work With Me?
Because I make learning comfortable, practical, and focused on your goals — not textbook grammar rules.
Every session is customized to you — whether you're preparing for a job interview, joining a work meeting in English, or simply trying to feel less nervous when you speak. I help you express yourself clearly, with confidence, in a way that fits your own personality and goals.
I bring:
A clear, neutral native accent
Experience teaching one-to-one, online, and in classrooms
A strong understanding of different learning styles
A calm, friendly approach that puts people at ease
