PRIVATE ENGLISH COMMUNICATION & CONFIDENCE COACHING
You have the expertise, the experience and the ideas. But when it’s time to speak English, you might hesitate, question your accent or hold back. I’ll help you bring your confidence, expertise and personality into English.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You can be an experienced professional, a business owner or a confident person in your own language — and still feel unsure of yourself in English. Maybe you recognise one of these moments.
You have something valuable to contribute, but you worry about finding the right words in front of colleagues.
You find yourself thinking about how you sound instead of focusing on what you want to say.
You know your subject, but the pressure to sound professional makes speaking feel harder.
Your knowledge and personality are there. You just want to express them more comfortably in English.
A DIFFERENT WAY TO THINK ABOUT YOUR ENGLISH
You don't need to sound like someone else or wait until every sentence is perfect. We work on the confidence behind your English and the practical skills to use it. We begin where you are, with situations that matter in your real life.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
You bring your goals, your experience and your unique voice. I'll bring the expertise, structure and support to help you speak English with more confidence — in a way that feels natural, practical and sustainable.
Confidence first. Perfection later.
We'll discuss your goals, your current level and the real-life situations you want to feel confident in. From there, we'll build a plan that fits your needs and learning style.
Through focused practice, practical language and personalised feedback, you'll develop skills you can use in meetings, presentations and everyday conversations.
With small, consistent habits and the right support, you'll build confidence that carries beyond our sessions — into your work, your conversations and your life.
A REAL EXAMPLE FROM MY COACHING
One professional I coach has spent years working in a senior corporate environment in an English-speaking country. He's knowledgeable and experienced, yet he still worries about his accent, his choice of words and how other people might perceive him.
We don't just go through vocabulary lists. We work on the beliefs behind those fears, practise the workplace and everyday situations he finds difficult, and use targeted pronunciation training to help him communicate more comfortably.
He especially values having space to work on his mindset alongside his speaking skills. That's the kind of support I want my clients to experience: practical, personal and connected to real life.
Shared without identifying details to respect my student's privacy.
PERSONALISED SUPPORT, BUILT AROUND YOUR GOALS
I work especially with professionals who want to communicate more confidently at work, and I also welcome adults with personal, academic and examination goals. Your first step is the same: one focused, personal session.
SPEAK MORE NATURALLY AT WORK AND EVERYDAY
For managers, business owners, entrepreneurs and other professionals who want to express their ideas clearly, contribute in meetings and feel more like themselves in English.
DELIVER YOUR MESSAGE WITH CONFIDENCE
For presentations, speeches, pitches and high-stakes conversations. We'll work on your message, delivery, pronunciation where needed, rehearsal and handling questions with greater ease.
Not working in business? You're welcome here too. I've supported doctors, adult learners at different levels, and students preparing for IELTS and English proficiency examinations. Tell me what you're working towards and we'll focus on your needs.
YOUR FIRST STEP — NO LONG PROGRAMME REQUIRED
You don't have to commit to ten sessions before we've worked together. Start with 45 minutes of real coaching focused on a speaking challenge that matters to you.
PRIVATE COACHING WITH ADRIANA
One 45-minute online session
One-time payment · No subscription
We'll work on your English, not spend the session selling you a programme. You'll practise, get personal feedback and leave with clear next steps.
Both coaching options are $100 USD for 45 minutes. Purchase your session securely using the checkout link. No subscription or ongoing package is required.
YOUR FIRST 45 MINUTES
Your private session is built around something you genuinely want to communicate better — at work, in a presentation or in everyday life.
We talk about what you need to say, where you get stuck and what matters most to you.
We simulate the situation, try different ways to express your ideas and work on language, pronunciation or mindset where useful.
We identify a practical next step and a small exercise you can use independently. If more coaching would help, we can discuss it.
The timings are a guide, not a rigid lesson plan. The session always adapts to your needs.
YOUR NEXT STEP
If one focused session is all you need, that is absolutely fine. If you would like more support, I will recommend the next best step for your goals, level and schedule.
Work, confidence, presentation or exam support.
Practical speaking support tailored to you.
No automatic enrolment or pressure to continue.
Personalised packages are quoted separately after we work together.
MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I'm Adriana. I'm from Australia, and I've spent more than 16 years helping adults use English with greater confidence — from professionals and entrepreneurs to exam candidates and learners building their speaking skills.
I hold a Master's degree in International Business and a Cambridge CELTA qualification. Beyond teaching, I've worked in corporate and B2B environments, collaborated with international teams and clients, delivered presentations and taken part in projects and stakeholder meetings.
I've also learned another language myself after moving to Croatia. I know how different it can feel when your ideas are clear in your first language, but harder to express in another one. That's why I combine practical language coaching with listening, real situations and a confidence-first approach.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED
It's a genuine 45-minute coaching session. We'll spend time practising and working on your English or presentation goals. If more coaching would be useful, we can discuss it towards the end, but you won't be pressured to purchase anything else.
You don't need perfect grammar or fluent English. I work with adults at different levels and tailor the session to what you can already do. For specialised goals, such as a particular exam, tell me the level and deadline before booking so we can confirm it's a good fit.
Absolutely. Choose the Public Speaking & Presentation Coaching option and tell me about your audience, topic and deadline. We can rehearse, focus on delivery and practise handling questions. Extensive script or slide reviews outside our session would need to be arranged separately.
Not at all. You can book one $100 session and use what you've learned independently. If you'd like continued support, I can recommend a personalised package after we've worked together, with a separate price and scope for you to consider.
Choose a coaching option and follow the button to the secure checkout. The 45-minute session is $100 USD and is paid in advance. Booking, preparation and rescheduling details will be provided as part of the purchase process.
That is a common reason people book. We can explore the thoughts that make speaking stressful while practising real situations together. This is communication coaching, not psychological therapy, and there's no pressure to speak perfectly.
Yes. I have experience supporting learners preparing for IELTS and other English proficiency examinations. We can focus on speaking confidence and relevant exam skills, depending on your level and goals. A single session is not a guarantee of an exam result.
Your next step starts here
You do not need perfect English to begin. Start with one focused conversation and get personalised support, real speaking practice, and a clear next step.
One conversation can change how you speak.
