English for People Who Work with Technology
Technical professionals often know their subject extremely well. The difficulty begins when they need to explain a process, discuss a fault, present a solution or answer technical questions in English. Technische Fachkräfte kennen ihr Fachgebiet häufig sehr gut. Die Schwierigkeit beginnt, wenn sie einen Prozess erklären, einen Fehler besprechen, eine Lösung vorstellen oder technische Fragen auf Englisch beantworten müssen.
Talking English connects professional knowledge with practical English communication.
Technology gives us something meaningful to talk about. English becomes the working language we use to explain, compare, question and discuss it.

Kenneth Gill - Personal English Trainer
I am a British native speaker and CELTA-qualified English trainer with many years of experience working with adults and professionals in Germany.
My approach is simple: use subjects that are genuinely relevant to you and turn them into real English communication. Technical knowledge gives the conversation substance. Training gives you the language and confidence to communicate that knowledge.
What Technology Do You Work With?
You do not need to learn English through generic textbook subjects.
Bring your professional knowledge into the English lesson. Explain it. Question it. Discuss it. Train the English you actually need.
