Executive English Coaching for Tech Leaders

Master the US Conference Room

You’ve built a world-class product. Now you have to sell it to an audience that expects a very specific communication style. I provide 1-on-1 executive English coaching for tech founders and CTOs who need to navigate high-stakes American business environments.

Strategic Preparation for High-Stakes Moments

This isn’t general language tutoring. This is targeted preparation for the moments that define your company’s growth:

VC pitch simulation: We’ll stress-test your deck and your delivery, ensuring you handle “the Q&A” with the confidence of a local.
Technical storytelling: I help you translate complex engineering “logic” into a persuasive business narrative that resonates with US investors and customers.
Conference & keynote prep: Whether you’re speaking at Re:Invent or a niche security summit, I ensure your pronunciation and “stage presence” don’t distract from your expertise.
Technical Q&A: We’ll practice the high-pressure moment after a pitch—answering tough technical questions on the fly with accuracy and professional poise.

Why Work With a Silicon Valley Native?

I help you navigate the linguistic expectations of US investors and partners so your technical expertise isn’t masked by cultural “misfires.”

Directness without friction: I’ll help you adopt the concise, “low-context” communication style that US tech leaders expect, ensuring your points land with clarity.
Linguistic depth over “salesy” fluff: As a Santa Clara native and a linguist, my focus is on the mechanics of the language. I don’t teach “interpersonal hacks”; I teach you how to structure your English to project competence and reliability.
Public speaking foundations: Drawing on my public speaking experience with a Toastmasters club in San Francisco, I provide objective feedback on pacing, pronunciation, and rhetorical structure.

a view of tech hub San Francisco — Many Europeans say San Francisco is part of Silicon Valley. All locals know this is incorrect: “Silicon Valley” is the Santa Clara Valley. It has the San Francisco Bay to the north, and beautiful mountains on its three other sides. But San Francisco is at the tip of a peninsula, with water in three directions. The city has become a favorite location for tech companies because it’s an exceptionally beautiful city close to Silicon Valley. Both are part of the San Francisco Bay Area, which locals call “the Bay Area.”
