Confident English — Real-Life Speaking & Listening Coaching

Speak naturally. Listen confidently. Connect with Australians.

If you already understand English but want to sound clear, natural, and confident, this program is for you.


We focus on the English you actually use — a quick chat at school pickup, a toolbox talk at work, or conversation at a barbecue.

I’m Australian-born and a qualified TESOL coach with postgraduate training in adult education.


You’ll learn the real Australian English you hear every day — idioms, slang, and tone that make you sound relaxed, not rehearsed.
