Speak engineering.
Lead with clarity.
Small-group English lessons for engineers and busy professionals. You rehearse the meetings that decide things, design reviews, postmortems, client calls, with people at your level, and get honest feedback on how you actually sounded.
- Groups capped at 6, so you talk instead of just listening
- 12 weekly sessions at a fixed time that suits you
- Real scenarios from your job, not textbook dialogues
Based in Oulu, Finland. Training technical teams across Europe.
What a session looks like
You and your group work through one real situation, live, with me guiding it. Here are a few we run.
Design review
Present a technical decision and defend it while people push back.
Incident postmortem
Walk through what went wrong and stay clear when the pressure is on.
Daily standup
Give a short update, flag a risk, and ask for what you need.
Client call
Explain something technical to someone who is not an engineer.
How it flows
- 1
You get the brief
The scenario and any materials arrive before the session, so you can prepare.
- 2
You get a role
One week you lead, the next you push back. Roles change so you practise all of it.
- 3
You talk
Fifty minutes of real conversation. Nothing scripted.
- 4
You get notes
I tell you what worked and what to fix, and I keep a running log of your common mistakes.
Who you learn with
Hi, I'm Darren
I've taught working professionals for more than 15,000 hours, and I wrote software before that, so I know exactly where good engineers lose the room: the design review, the postmortem, the client call that goes sideways.
In our lessons we don't study grammar. Your group runs those meetings for real, and I note the mistakes that keep coming back until they stop. My students have included people at LinkedIn, Deloitte, and Mercedes-AMG, and engineers at every level in between.
