For adults at B1–B2 level who want to speak up at work. Across ten online lessons, practise joining a discussion, clarifying a deadline and handling a difficult client call. Bring a situation from your working week. We’ll rehearse what to say and how to follow up in writing.
A client asks, “Can you finish by Friday?” You answer, then I ask a follow-up you haven’t seen. We look at how your words sound to the client, try the call again and write a two-line email confirming what you agreed. I hold a Bachelor of Education from the University of Pretoria and have taught English in South African classrooms and online to adults internationally.
Ten 60-minute lessons, taught in English
1. Meet a new colleague and keep the conversation going with a follow-up question.
2. Give a one-minute update on progress, a problem and your next step.
3. Join a meeting already in progress and bring the discussion back to your point.
4. Clarify a vague request and check the deadline in your own words.
5. Disagree politely and suggest an alternative the team can act on.
6. Open a client call, find out what the client needs and summarise it.
7. Explain a delay, negotiate a realistic date and agree on an update.
8. Respond to a complaint and offer a specific next step.
9. Turn meeting notes into a short email that names who will do what, and by when.

I’m Tiasha, a South African English teacher. I help adults prepare for interviews, speak up in meetings and present their ideas clearly. Bring a situation you’d like to handle in English. We’ll rehearse it, work on the wording and try it again. In my group classes, everyone gets time to speak and individual feedback they can use at work.
I hold a Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase and FET Teaching from the University of Pretoria, specialising in English and Natural Sciences. I also hold a 120-hour TEFL qualification and am registered with the South African Council for Educators.
I taught English Home Language at secondary school and also taught at primary school in South Africa. Since May 2026, I’ve taught international adults online, individually and in groups. My business English lessons include meeting simulations where learners practise disagreeing tactfully, explaining a decision and confirming next steps.
