Drafting Specialized Reports in the UN Context
This workshop is designed for professionals working in international and multilateral environments who produce UN reports and official documents. It provides practical, standards-based training in clear, concise, and effective drafting aligned with UN conventions. I have developed this workshop over 20 years of teaching drafting skills to the staff of UN organizations - including IAEA, UNIDO, UNODC, and CTBTO - as well as EU partners.
Listening and Pronunciation
This workshop focuses on developing speaking and listening skills in a variety of contexts. Students will examine idiomatic English found in various situations and settings. We will improve listening skills and oral communication through a variety of sources, such as film clips, radio programs and song lyrics. Part of the course will be devoted to accurate pronunciation and impromptu speaking activities.
Advanced Communication
This course covers all aspects of spoken communication, from everyday small talk to more formal business negotiations. Participants will examine the essential language, skills and techniques needed to actively take part in spoken communication in diverse situations. Challenging role-plays will be used to develop vocabulary and improve presentation skills in both the formal and informal context.
Professional Writing Skills
This course is based on the students' professional needs and focuses on the techniques required to draft clear, articulate and appropriate texts in the business context. We review advanced grammatical structures and edit formal texts for cohesion, style and clarity. Each session includes a practical writing task and individual feedback by the teacher.
Class Formats
For Individuals
One-on-one lessons are ideal for anyone who needs to improve specific English skills as quickly and targeted as possible.
Online
I offer live online English courses that are interactive, structured, and effective, using digital tools to encourage active language practice. This format offers flexibility while maintaining a high level of engagement and personalized feedback.
Group Lessons
Groups have the advantage of being lively and dynamic, especially when the aim is to develop conversation skills or public speaking. Ideally, class size should not exceed 12 students.
