🐐 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!) |

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.

About Brian Stitt: Australian Native English Speaker in Poznań
Hello! I'm Brian Stitt, an Australian native English speaker with a global business background.
Having lived and worked in the USA, UK, and Australia, and run my own businesses, I possess an in-depth knowledge of the nuances unique to each region. Crucially, my own accent is not the strong stereotype; I have consciously softened my speech over the years to ensure universal clarity.
This adaptability allows me to speak—and teach—a form of English that is easily understood by all, especially here in the European Union. I don't just teach you to speak like an Australian; I teach you the neutral, global English required to navigate international business with confidence.
For over a decade, I've provided Business English training, English lessons for kids & teenagers, and pronunciation coaching to students and professionals across Europe. My method focuses on transforming your language from "correct" to "authentic".
My base is Poznań, Sierotki Marysi 19. Whether you're a child learning English for the first time, a teenager preparing for exams, or a professional seeking fluency, work directly with an Australian Native English Speaker in Poznań who offers professional English lessons Poznań.
Frequently Asked Questions - English Lessons Poznań
Where can I have English lessons in Poznań?
Lessons take place at my office at Sierotki Marysi 19 (Grunwald district), at your workplace, or online via Zoom or Teams. I also travel to Skórzewo and Plewiska. Whatever is most convenient for you.
What is it actually like having a lesson with a native English speaker?
Every lesson is built around your goals, not a textbook. We speak English from minute one. I correct your pronunciation naturally during conversation — not in a way that makes you feel embarrassed — and each session focuses on real situations you actually face at work, in exams, or in daily life.
Do you teach English lessons for kids in Poznań?
Yes, I teach children aged 8–14. Kids who learn pronunciation from a native speaker from an early age develop a natural accent that is very difficult to achieve later. Lessons use games, stories, and activities so it never feels like studying.
Can my teenager prepare for Matura, FCE or CAE with you?
Yes. I specialise in Cambridge exam preparation (FCE, CAE) and Polish Matura English. We cover all four skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — plus exam techniques and native-level pronunciation that gives a real advantage in the oral component.
I'm a complete beginner — is that OK?
Absolutely. We start from where you are, not where you think you should be. Beginners actually benefit most from a native speaker because you build correct pronunciation habits from day one rather than having to unlearn bad ones later.
How much do English lessons cost in Poznań?
A 1-to-1 lesson is 160 PLN for 60 minutes (Business English 200 PLN, pronunciation coaching 180 PLN). Groups (70 minutes) cost less: a mini-group of 2–3 is 210 PLN per class in total, the conversation group 85 PLN per person, and kids' groups 85 PLN per class or 420 PLN for a 6-class block. Full list: prices. Payment by BLIK, bank transfer, or cash.
Is there a native English speaker in Poznań who does Business English?
That's exactly what I specialise in. I'm an Australian native English speaker based in Poznań working with professionals on business communication, presentations, email writing, meetings, and phone English. Lessons at your office, my office, or online.
Can my company get an invoice (Faktura) for English lessons?
Yes. "Poznań Native English speaker" is a brand of Pozycjonowanie Stron Sp. z o.o. — a fully registered Polish limited liability company (NIP: 7792522202). We issue proper VAT invoices (Faktura VAT) for all lessons and training, usable for business accounting and tax purposes.
What is the difference between a native English speaker and a Polish English teacher?
A native speaker gives you authentic pronunciation, natural rhythm, idioms, and cultural context that a non-native teacher simply cannot replicate — no matter how qualified. For pronunciation coaching in particular, working with a native speaker is the only way to develop a genuinely natural accent. Polish teachers are excellent at grammar and exams, but for spoken fluency, a native speaker is a different experience entirely.
