Jane Slater

Hi, I'm Jane — an English coach specialising in Business English, professional communication, and clear, confident speaking at work.

Before becoming a teacher, I built a career across recruitment, VFX, gaming, PR/marketing, and entrepreneurship — a combination that gives me a rare, practical understanding of how professionals actually communicate day to day. I’ve hired teams, coached candidates, negotiated with clients, managed global campaigns, and even co-founded a boutique hotel.

That experience now shapes how I teach: practical, structured, human, and focused on real results.

What my lessons are like

My sessions are clear, organised, and genuinely enjoyable. You’ll get:

A consistent lesson flow — warm-up, homework review, key language, guided practice, and a real-world speaking task tailored to your job.

Scenario-based learning: interviews, meetings, presentations, negotiations, emails, and spontaneous communication.

Pronunciation and clarity coaching: intonation, stress patterns, natural phrasing, and speaking under pressure.

Immediate, supportive feedback so you always know what’s working and what needs tightening.

Zero generic textbooks — every lesson is designed around your role, your industry, and your goals.

Who I teach

I support professionals across many sectors — tech, manufacturing, business operations, hospitality, creative industries, and more. My teaching style is especially effective if:

You want to communicate more clearly with international teams.

You need stronger English for meetings, presentations, or client calls.

You’re preparing for interviews or a promotion.

You want practical, confidence-building English you can use immediately.

I work with adults at all levels, from early-career professionals to managers and senior specialists.

Why my background helps you

My experience in recruitment means I understand interviews, workplace expectations, and professional communication under pressure.
My work in PR/marketing taught me how to craft messages with impact.
My time in VFX/gaming gives me insight into fast-paced, international teams.
My entrepreneurial background means I know how to communicate with clients, customers, and partners.

All of this feeds into lessons that are practical, modern, and shaped around the realities of global work.

Looking forward to working with you,
Jane
