English coaching for teams

Help your team speak English with the confidence their work deserves.

I coach your employees one-to-one, using the conversations, ideas and professional situations they already care about. For HR managers and team leads, it’s a way to support English learning that feels useful in the working day.

Lucas Weaver · Your English coach

Your employees know their work. English can make it harder to show that.

Someone with a strong idea stays quiet in a meeting. A client explanation takes longer than it should. A capable colleague hesitates when challenged. I help each person practise the English behind those moments, with time and attention they can’t get in a shared class.

Meetings and collaboration

Explain an idea, ask a precise question and respond when the conversation changes direction.

Clients and stakeholders

Make a recommendation, clarify expectations and handle follow-up questions with less hesitation.

Presentations and leadership

Structure an update, make the main point clear and adapt the explanation to the listener.

For HR managers and team leads

Give people a reason to keep learning.

When an employee can use a lesson in a meeting or a client call, it has a clear purpose. I aim to make that connection in every session, using relevant content and conversations that feel natural to the person learning.

Goals connected to the work you want to support.
Individual attention, so employees can ask questions and practise at their own pace.
A consistent coach who gets to know each person’s role, interests and difficulties.

Some of my students have continued coaching with me long term. I aim to make sessions relevant to each employee’s work and goals.

A coach who follows the conversation

Start with what your employees know.

I bring experience in teaching, running an English school and working in growth and product development at a FinTech. I use that experience to ask useful questions and build natural conversations around your employees’ work, while learning the details of each person’s role.

“What I like most is that he understands marketing and the specific terms I need to grow in my professional career.”

How we begin

A shared goal. Individual coaching.

Discuss the team’s needs

Tell me which employees you have in mind, where English matters in their work and when you’d like to start. We discuss fit, availability and costs.

Set a focus with each employee

I listen to how each person speaks, discuss their goals and identify the situations and language that need attention.

Practise, get feedback, try again

I use relevant conversations and scenarios to work on clarity, vocabulary and delivery. We revisit difficult moments as the employee’s needs develop.

For companies supporting professionals who already use English at work and want to speak more clearly and confidently. Each employee needs time for regular coaching and a reason of their own to take part.

Research behind the approach

Purpose, enjoyment and support matter.

Relevant professional material can also help learners connect language to its use. In a course involving 87 medical and dental students, questionnaire results suggested increased participation when students worked with authentic consultation recordings. This was a classroom study, not a test of company coaching or retention. Read the study of professional-context materials.

Career goals and learning engagement

LinkedIn’s 2024 report found that learners who set career goals engaged with learning four times more than those who didn’t. This is an association among LinkedIn Learning users.

Teacher support and engagement

In a study of 1,094 Chinese high-school English learners, perceived teacher support correlated with engagement (r = .491). This study did not test professional-domain expertise.

These findings inform how I think about coaching. They don’t measure Fluency Unleashed’s results or prove that domain knowledge causes higher retention. My long-term student relationships are a separate observation from my own teaching.

Before you enquire

Questions from managers.

Are these group classes or individual sessions?

Individual sessions. You can arrange coaching for several employees, but I work one-to-one with each person on their own goals and English needs.

How do company pricing and scheduling work?

Tell me how many employees you have in mind, their time zones and your preferred start date. I’ll discuss availability, lesson frequency, costs and billing with you before you commit. Team arrangements are agreed through an enquiry.

What can HR or a team lead see about progress?

Before coaching begins, we can discuss the goals you want to support and what feedback would be useful. I’ll agree any progress updates with you and the participating employees. There is no employer reporting dashboard included.

Do you have a measured student retention rate?

I have long-term coaching relationships with students, but I haven’t published a measured retention rate. Student feedback and learning research help explain my approach; they don’t establish a retention percentage for Fluency Unleashed.

Let’s talk about your team

Which conversations would you like your employees to handle more confidently?

Tell me about their roles, your goals and how many people you have in mind. I’ll reply to discuss whether the coaching is a fit.
