Hello, I'm Ruth Finnie.
I don't teach Business English, I coach it.
You don’t need perfect English. You need English that works in meetings, presentations and negotiations. Coaching turns the English you already have into English you can use quickly and with confidence.
I’m a native British English coach based in the UK, CELTA-qualified and a Cambridge English Examiner since 2010. I’ve taught English for 25 years and spent most of my career in management. I know the pressure of speaking to a board and what it takes to influence a room.
Our sessions start from your diary: Thursday’s meeting, the pitch you’re rehearsing, the email you can’t quite get right. You learn vocabulary in context, fix the grammar mistakes that slow you down, and learn to speak clearly and precisely under pressure.
I coach senior professionals one-to-one online, mainly in Spain and across Europe, and I have long experience working with Spanish speakers in international business. Clients include executives from PepsiCo, Andersen, Bimbo, Carglass and ESADE, along with professionals in finance, healthcare, engineering and consultancy. What they share is simple: English is where their work happens.
