Transitioning advanced English speakers into confident and effective communicators through strategic, targeted coaching.

About me
Hello, I'm Rory. I’m here to help you. Perhaps you are preparing for a presentation in English and are slightly nervous about public speaking. Maybe you need to polish up rusty English skills to gain a competitive edge. Or, you may simply feel that you can do better. You already know this yourself: you need to practice with the right person. There is no better or faster way to improve your confidence in a language than by speaking with a qualified professional. After a handful of coaching sessions, you’ll be more confident in business meetings or presentations. I know firsthand, fluency and ease in English really is attainable, given the right level of support and commitment. My clients are typically successful, motivated professionals who work at international companies. Increasingly, they are required to conduct business and give presentations in English, and although their English may be very advanced, they feel their true potential is getting lost in language gaps and lack of confidence. I know this feeling well. As a native English speaker living in Sweden and studying Swedish, I understand the frustration of being less effective in my second language. In a way, this personal experience has shaped my approach: I’ll help you target specific weaknesses in your English and correct them. Together, we will improve your ability to communicate effectively, authoritatively, and confidently. I offer online sessions to clients anywhere in the world, as well as local consultations for those in the Stockholm area. Book your consultation today by emailing me at: rory.nutshell@google.com
SERVICES
Public
Speaking
Preparation:
Giving a presentation or speech in a second language is daunting, and it’s a hard thing to prepare for without any outside help. I’ll identify and correct any language or delivery issues that could interfere with clean communication, and help you level up your overall presentation and confidence.
In a Nutshell Treatment: For advanced speakers
During our first session, I will identify the specific issues which are most detrimental to your communication in English. I will then create a customized plan to eliminate them, so that you achieve maximum improvement in the shortest period of time. Some common examples of fixable problems include: word-finding in the moment, mixing tenses, habitual mispronunciation of certain sounds, confusion of pronouns, unnatural inflection, incorrect syntactical patterns, etc. If it sounds like I’m being picky - I am. You’ve done the hard work of learning English, now you’re bringing me in for the fine-tuning.

Interview
Preparation:
It’s important that you come across as your best self in a job interview, so let’s make sure that English does not stand in the way. We’ll practice until your answers are perfection itself.

I found Rory during a big change in my life. I was about to move to a new country and would need to start speaking English full time. Rory identified the biggest problem areas for me and by focusing on those, I was able to progress to the point where I felt confident enough for the move. She’s also one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met.
