Mark Thompson

I’m a professional with a career spanning eight industries, including Events, Training, Finance, Health, Energy, Insurance, Digital, and Motorsport, with experience working across both the UK and the UAE.

I specialise in helping learners improve their spoken English for business and everyday life, with a strong focus on confidence, clarity, and natural delivery. My approach goes beyond vocabulary and grammar. We also work on tone, cadence, verbal pauses, and body language, because effective communication is as much about how something is said as what is said.

Alongside my professional background, I’ve completed project management training with the University of Oxford and advanced communication training through 7th Level in Neuro-Emotional Persuasive Questioning (NEPQ). This has given me a strong understanding of human behaviour, influence, and conversational flow.

I’m also a Nidan karate-kickbox black belt, and a Holistic Lifestyle Coach (Level 1 & 2) with the CHEK Institute in California. This informs a calm, structured, and supportive teaching style, helping learners feel more present, confident, and at ease when speaking.

Lessons are tailored to how you learn best, with additional tools and resources provided outside the online classroom to support steady, ongoing progress.

If you’re looking to improve your English in a practical, real-world, and confidence-building way, I’d be very happy to hear from you.

Kind regards,
Mark
