Tell us what's
coming up.
We'll prepare
your team for it.
Your employees speak English. But a business trip, a client visit, or a high-stakes negotiation is something else entirely. We prepare them for the specific situation — not language in general.
"A client was flying in from Norway. We mapped every moment of the visit — the plant tour, the Q&A, the dinner. He knew exactly what to say, and when to stay quiet."
"A manager was interviewing for a role with a US-based team. We rehearsed the hard questions, built her recovery phrases, and worked on how to sound confident — not just correct."
Do any of these
sound familiar?
Your employee has a business trip next month. A foreign client is visiting. There's a negotiation coming up and the other side speaks English as a first language. These are the moments we work for.
Business trips abroad
We map out the conversations likely to happen — site visits, dinners, informal meetings — and build a structure your employee can rely on when the script runs out and the real conversation begins.
International client visits
From the first handshake to presenting your company and hosting a dinner, we prepare the language, the tone, and the confidence for the whole visit — not just the formal presentation.
Negotiations & partner meetings
High-stakes conversations require more than vocabulary. We work on clarity, assertiveness, and recovery — what to say when the conversation goes off-script and you need to keep control.
Professional written communication
Emails and follow-ups that sound like a professional wrote them in English — not like something translated, corrected, and sent hoping for the best.
Not a course.
A rehearsal.
You tell us the situation
A trip, a visit, a negotiation, a deadline. The more specific the better. We need the real scenario — not a general request to "improve English."
We build the sessions around it
We identify the exact moments where language and confidence matter most and design the preparation around those — including the moments no one plans for.
Your employee walks in ready
With a structure they've rehearsed, phrases they own, and the confidence that comes from having done it before — even if only in the session.
What this looks
like in practice.
Norwegian partners visiting a Latvian manufacturing site
The client had never hosted foreign partners before. We wrote the tour together — what to say at each stop, how long to stay, how to handle silences. Then we rehearsed it on location. When the visitors arrived, he had a structure, not a script.
Senior professional preparing to work in Norway for two weeks
We mapped out the situations likely to arise — workplace introductions, technical discussions, informal lunches. We focused on the moments that cause the most anxiety: when you don't understand something and have to ask again without losing face.
Manager interviewing for a role with a US-based international team
We rehearsed the hard questions, built recovery phrases for when the mind goes blank, and worked on the difference between sounding correct and sounding confident. The goal was for her to feel in control of the conversation, not just surviving it.
Student preparing for entry to top London secondary schools
Entrance interviews at schools like St Paul's Girls' and Latymer require more than language ability — they test how a student thinks and expresses ideas under pressure. We prepared for that specific dynamic over several months.
Why language
and psychology.
Most language trainers focus on grammar and vocabulary. Katya works on the whole picture — because the language is rarely the only thing in the way.
Katya Fyodorova has spent over 7 years working at the intersection of language and psychology — first as a language consultant and Business English trainer, later teaching at some of London's most competitive academic environments, including preparing students for St Paul's Girls' School, Latymer, and Dulwich.
She holds an MA from Goldsmiths, University of London, where she studied language through the lens of psychology and contemporary theory. Alongside her teaching practice, she completed a Level 4 qualification in psychotherapy — not to become a therapist, but to understand what actually gets in the way when people know a language but can't use it under pressure.
That combination is rare. Most language trainers work on what people say. Katya also works on what stops them saying it.
Something is coming up.
Tell us what it is.
The more specific you are, the better we can prepare. Send us the scenario — the date, the situation, who's involved — and we'll take it from there.
