Hello, I'm Ruth.
I don't teach Business English, I coach it.
I work with professionals who want to communicate with greater confidence, precision and impact.
I've been teaching English for over 25 years, and I've spent most of my career in management. I understand the pressure of a high-stakes presentation. The nuance of a difficult negotiation. What it takes to influence a room.
In our sessions, we work on what you actually need: the meeting you have on Thursday, the presentation you're rehearsing, the email you can't quite get right.
You'll learn vocabulary in real situations, fix the grammar mistakes that slow you down, and find the confidence to speak clearly and powerfully in English.
I work with professionals from around the world, with particular experience supporting Spanish-speaking professionals in international business.
My clients are senior people who use English at work every day. They come from PepsiCo, Andersen, Bimbo, Carglass and ESADE, and from law firms, consultancies, engineering teams and hospitals. What they have in common is that English is where their work happens: the meeting, the pitch, the negotiation, the call with head office.
Ruth Finnie is a CELTA-qualified British English coach and a Cambridge English examiner since 2010, working one to one with senior professionals across Spain and Europe.
