A note from your teacher
Elize du plessis
Hi, I'm so glad you're here. I've spent years working with mid-level professionals across industries — from engineers trying to lead meetings in English to sales managers preparing for international client calls. What I discovered early on is that these learners don't need more grammar. They need confidence, relevance, and a teacher who understands the pressure they're under. This course distills everything I've learned about designing and delivering conversational English training that actually changes how professionals show up at work. I built it to be the resource I wish I'd had when I started. Let's get your students speaking — really speaking.
