Hi, I'm Catherine! I'm originally from Essex, near London, and before coming to France, I spent 7 fantastic years in Asia working for the British Council in Japan and Singapore.

 

We then moved to Paris where I worked for several years in different grandes écoles and training company executives, but I longed to see the blue sky and the sun (I didn't leave England to see more rain), and in 2014 we arrived in Grasse.

 

When I moved to the South of France, I quickly noticed a common thread among the non-native English speakers I worked with. While they spoke English well, they often faced similar challenges: a lack of confidence in their presentation skills, uncertainty about whether their message or pronunciation was clear, and discomfort when speaking in public.

​

With a Master’s degree in Linguistics, a TESOL qualification, and certifications as a Neurolanguage Coach and Intercultural Communication Trainer, I bring a wealth of expertise to my coaching. Over the years, I’ve developed numerous tips and techniques that can be implemented to quickly improve your communication skills. I’m also a member of Toastmasters, a public speaking club, and I love speaking at conferences whenever I can.

​

As an English speaker who uses French daily, I fully understand the challenges of communicating in a foreign language in a professional setting: now I'd love to help you.
