📌 What is Freddie’s trial class? 
My trial lessons provide an opportunity for you to get to know me (and for me to get to know you). This helps ensure that we are a good fit for each other. Thus, my trial lessons function as a consultation and detailed needs analysis. 

✓ Pre-lesson...
I will send you my comprehensive needs analysis survey (if you have time, else during the class is also possible).

✓ During the lesson itself...
I will introduce myself, ask you follow-up questions and provide an overview of the classes and courses I offer. Any and all questions you may have will, of course, be very welcome.

✓ Post-lesson...
I will then provide you with personalised recommendations for future classes so that you can achieve your goals and flourish in the future. Moreover, I can recommend alternative and/or additional teachers (and colleagues who I personally collaborate with) if and when required.

As a result, this course is particularly suitable for ambitious high-level students looking to further excel at English.

I'm a corporate trainer and a TEFL-certified English teacher. I am a native speaker of English, born in the US, in California.
I’ve taught people of all ages, from primary school students to business executives. I have over 35 years of international business experience, with companies such as IKEA, Nike and Starbucks. I’ve worked in the US, Europe, Africa and Asia. 

As well as being TEFL-certified, I have a Bachelor of Science degree and an MBA.

Book a trial lesson and let’s have a conversation about what you want to achieve. 

If you have doubts about your English, people will often interpret that as you having doubts about your product or service. If you have confidence in speaking English, your clients, co-workers and colleagues will have confidence in you.

Let's work together to build your confidence in English.

- Have you ever been on a business trip where you weren't quite sure what the right thing to do was? 
- Did you think your business trip went very well, but when you returned home you didn't hear anything back from the client? 
- How to know what the right thing to do is when you're doing business internationally? 

Objectives: 
- To use vocabulary around international business etiquette and cross-cultural communication.
- To introduce the concepts of different business practices in different countries (attire, forms of address, gift giving, etc.)
- Vocabulary covered: etiquette, protocol, offend, first impression, set the tone, business casual, conservatively, dress code, attire, the norm, handshake, firm, bow, form of address, on time, bribe, blunt, interrupt, flowery, provide, meet, pay, introduce, struggle, focus, return.

International Business Etiquette

In order to be successful in business you must communicate effectively, and in order to communicate effectively,  you need excellent language skills. If you have doubts about your English, people will often interpret that as you having doubts about your product or service. If you have confidence in speaking English, your clients, co-workers and colleagues will have confidence in you.

In these lessons you will learn how to communicate more effectively in the workplace. We will focus on all important forms of business communication: face-to-face, email, web conferencing, and telephone.

Effective Business Communication

Negotiating is a fundamental part of doing business. Making sure you get the best terms for your product or service is essential to making sure your business not just survives, but thrives.
It’s hard enough to negotiate in your own language, but then to have to negotiate in a foreign language such as English?! 

In this lesson we look at your negotiation style and techniques and how you can adopt customs and idioms that are particular to your international environment.  

Objectives: 
- To use common vocabulary used during negotiations
- To introduce common business negotiation idioms (e.g. get down to business, meet half-way)
- To practice being polite (including modal verbs for politeness, the past tense to be polite and other common ways to be polite)
- To practice the use of conditional phrases in negotiations (e.g. as long as, on condition that)
- Vocabulary covered: a show of hands, a win-win situation, meet half-way, stick ot the point, get down to business, have (something) to add, close the deal, diplomatic, final offer, in favor of (something), concern, consideration, under one condition, proposal, consult, decline, interrupt, reconvene, recap, clarify, compromise, mutual, tactful, binding, non-negotiable, unanimous, face-to-face, provision, consensus, tactic, interest, contingency.

How to Succeed in International Business Negotiation

Business meetings are conducted differently in different parts of the world. Whether you start business right away, engage in small talk, use humor - even something like organizing and how the meetings are followed up are different depending on your country of business. 

In this lesson we look at international business meeting vocabulary, but we also look at how your style of conducting business meetings might vary, depending on where you are and with whom you are meeting. 

Objectives: 
- To use common vocabulary used during different stages of a business meeting (introductions, reviewing past business/meeting notes, discussing items, finishing the meeting)
- To introduce common phrasal verbs used in business meetings (e.g. run out of, reach out)
- To introduce common expressions used in meetings
- To look at different styles of meetings, depending on your country
- Vocabulary covered: small talk, attending, absentees, standing in, tasks, the Chair/chairperson, minutes, prior commitment, run through, take over, go over, move on, agenda, item, input, on the same page, reach out to, break up, brainstorm, run out of (time), close, deal with, come back to (something), punctual, clarification, consensus, objectives, preside over.

How to Conduct International Business Meetings

By partnering with a work colleague, you can reinforce your learning process. By sharing learning points and encouraging each other in the study process, you can increase the effectiveness of your lessons. You can also search out learning opportunities in your shared workplace to improve the applicability and practicality of your Workplace English lessons.

General conversation (I only teach adult students)

This lesson is designed to inspire, encourage and practise oral presentations in English.

Many people experience worry, nerves and fear before giving an oral presentation. This lesson covers a multitude of subjects and gives a taste of just what is possible wih the correct attitude.

We will  start with the preparation which will include:

* Location - size, hotel/conference centre, seating, eating, team building rooms, heating/cooling etc..
* Materials, whiteboard, interactive audience participation
* Resources, finance, support staff, third tier staff, refreshments
* Assistants to collect data
* Advertising
* Costs, sponsors, vip guests 
* Purpose, call to action, monitoring, analysing, reporting. 

The presentation itself will include:

* Dress code, presenter and audience
* Body language, positioning and mimics
* Primary and secondary seating allocation
* Technological aids
* Timing
* Structure
* Intonation, gestures, rule of threes
* Introduction, content, finishing

The question and answer session will include:

* Opening the question and answer session
* Controlling the question and answer session
* Objection handling techniques
* Cherry picking the right individuals for questions
* Introducing and reacting with a ringer
* Offering promotional literature
* Capturing potential client's details afterwards

A good presentation should be structured, informative and have a pre-determined aim. The audience should feel engaged, individually important and leave better informed than when they arrived.

Most importantly, after the presentation the presenter and the supporting team (if applicable) should be able to identify clear successes that were desired beforehand or the failures, if any, that led to a less than perfect performance. Prepare in advance and you will reap myriad rewards.
 
If you need to give or polish up on your oral presentation skills then I can help. I look forward to demonstrating the power of the professional presentation.

Learn how to prepare and give presentations, learn how to inspire, motivate and persuade your audience. Learn how to deal with the question and answer sessions afterwards. Plan, react and succeed!
