1-to-1 English Coaching

Your English,
finally working
for you.

You already know far more English than you think. What you need isn’t more grammar rules — it’s the confidence, clarity, and fluency to actually use it. That’s exactly what I help you with.

Sound familiar?

You’re not struggling
with English. You’re struggling
with confidence.

Most of my students come to me with similar frustrations. Do any of these feel like you?

😶

“I go blank when I need to speak.”

You know the words — but under pressure, your mind empties. We’ll fix that together, session by session.

🔄

“I’ve been learning for years but I’m stuck.”

Traditional courses teach the language, not how to use it. I close that gap with real, practical conversation.

🤦

“I’m embarrassed by my accent or mistakes.”

Your accent is not a problem. Being understood confidently is the goal — and it’s absolutely achievable.

💼

“My English holds me back at work.”

Emails, meetings, presentations — I’ll help you communicate professionally so your ideas get the attention they deserve.

and built around you.

Derek Reddy English Language Coach
About me

Hi, I’m Derek —
and I’ve helped hundreds of
people find their voice in English.

I’ve been coaching English for over 25 years, working with students from across Europe and beyond — from complete beginners to advanced speakers who just need that final polish of confidence.

I’m a native English speaker, and I specialise in making the learning process feel natural, encouraging, and genuinely useful. I’m not here to give you homework you’ll dread — I’m here to have real conversations that build real skills.

I believe the biggest barrier for most learners isn’t grammar — it’s confidence. My approach is to build both, at the same time, in every session we have together.

I’m based in Germany and available worldwide, I offer sessions both online and in person. If you’d like to know more, just book a free call — I’d love to meet you.

Questions

Things people often ask
before booking.

It’s a relaxed, friendly conversation — not a test. We’ll talk about your English background, what you’re hoping to achieve, and any challenges you’re facing. I’ll share how I work and answer any questions you have. At the end, I’ll tell you honestly whether I think I can help you, and what that might look like. No pressure, no sales pitch.
Most of my students meet with me online via video call — it’s flexible, convenient, and just as effective as in person. If you’re based nearby, we can also arrange in-person sessions. Either way, the quality of coaching is exactly the same.
Most students have one or two sessions per week, each lasting 60 minutes. That said, I’m flexible — we can adjust frequency and duration to fit your schedule and goals. We’ll figure out the best rhythm for you during our free call.
Absolutely. Some of my most rewarding work is with advanced learners who want to move from “good” to genuinely excellent. Whether it’s fine-tuning your written English, polishing professional communication, or working on accent and delivery, there’s always room to grow.
Most students notice a difference within the first few sessions — especially in confidence and the ability to express themselves more naturally. Measurable, lasting improvement typically builds over weeks and months of consistent practice. I’ll always be honest with you about progress and pace.
Session rates vary depending on your goals, frequency, and whether we meet online or in person. I’ll be transparent about pricing during our free call — no surprises. The 30-minute discovery session is completely free with no obligation.
