🐐 Don't Be A Goat.
The "Goat" is a symbol of a small but critical error that undermines your credibility when speaking English. This could be poor pronunciation ('tink' instead of 'think'), uncertain intonation, or a lack of fluidity during a key moment. Poznań has its billy goats, but you don't have to be one of them with proper pronunciation coaching from an Australian native English speaker.
Eliminate the errors that immediately betray that English is not your first language.

💼 Executive Business English
Go beyond "textbook business" to the subtle art of influence, diplomacy, and executive presence. Designed for professionals who need to lead in an international environment.
The Art of "Softening" & Diplomacy
Direct translations from Polish to English often sound unintentionally blunt or rude in a business context.
I teach you the specific linguistic softeners (modals, qualifiers, indirect questions) that Native Speakers use to negotiate politely, give negative feedback constructively, and build stronger relationships.
Real-World Business Scenarios
- ✅ Presentations: Structuring arguments for maximum impact.
- ✅ Meetings: Interrupting politely and holding the floor.
- ✅ Small Talk: The "glue" of business relationships.
- ✅ Email: Writing clearly, concisely, and professionally.
"Because I have run my own businesses and worked in the UK, USA, and Australia, I don't just teach you the words—I teach you the business culture and context behind them." — Brian Stitt
The Great Global English Challenge 🌏
Think you know English? Test your knowledge of US vs UK vs Aussie dialects.
This is why you need a teacher who understands the nuance.
🇬🇧 UK: Petrol Station
🇦🇺 What does an Australian call it?
🇬🇧 UK: Sweets
🇦🇺 What does an Australian call them?
🇬🇧 UK: Flip-Flops
🇦🇺 What does an Australian call them?
(Warning: This is a dangerous nuance!)
English is full of these little traps. One wrong word can change the entire meaning of a conversation.
Don't guess. Learn the nuance.
Why Context Matters: The Global English Cheat Sheet
| Context | 🇺🇸 USA | 🇬🇧 UK | 🇦🇺 Australia (Brian) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walking Path | Sidewalk | Pavement | Footpath |
| Summer Shoes | Flip-flops | Flip-flops | Thongs (Careful! In US/UK this is underwear!) |
| Fuel Station | Gas Station | Petrol Station | Servo (Service Station) |
| Sweets | Candy | Sweets | Lollies |
| Alcohol Shop | Liquor Store | Off-licence | Bottle-O |
| Vegetable | Bell Pepper | Pepper | Capsicum |
| Friend | Buddy / Pal | Mate | Mate (Universal!) |

The Problem is Not Grammar. It's Native Fluency.
Whether you're a student preparing for Matura, a child learning English for the first time, or a CEO negotiating a contract, the underlying communication barrier is always the same. We fix it in three steps with English lessons in Poznań.
"I understand everything, but I can't speak spontaneously."
Your goal is to pass exams or travel easily. The pain point is hesitation and lack of natural phrasing. Textbooks teach structure; I teach the flow and idioms needed to communicate effortlessly.
"My accent prevents me from being taken seriously in meetings."
Your goal is career advancement. The pain point is credibility and pronunciation errors. My Business English coaching targets the specific sounds and business rhetoric that establish executive presence.
The solution is immersive, 1-on-1 language optimization.
As an Australian Native English Speaker in Poznań, I immediately identify the subtle errors that non-natives miss. We train your ear and mouth for authentic sounds with professional pronunciation coaching and use current, real-world content.
