We optimise your business English
Our Business English Coaching is ideally suited for busy professionals and teams with a need for professional business English and who need to communicate appropriately beyond their existing English level.
We know that available time is precious and often scarce. Therefore Davies Business English, with the 'Personal Accelerated Learning' concept, has developed a way to convey the professional English which really helps you in an English-speaking business world - in the shortest time. We put you in the position to master speeches convincingly, conduct business meetings competently and give presentations with self confidence.
With Davies Business English you have a native speaker with many years of experience in Business English training. In addition to individual coaching, we also offer trainings for teams. We customise all content to your desired topics. Talk to us, together we will raise your Business English to a very professional level - personalised and efficient.
Why we are different
The Davies Business English learning concept goes far beyond that of conventional English courses. With us, you or your employees receive personal, intensive coaching. Thus successes are a lot faster. We do not give ordinary courses with standardised lessons.
We focus solely on efficient training of English for business purposes. You will benefit from the experience of a native speaker with a business background and you will not waste your time learning content which is not relevant.
Your coaching is planned with you right from the beginning with topics, grammar and vocabulary that meet your specific needs - exactly the English that you will use when you return to work.
Our coaching takes place in the ideal situation for you to concentrate on the language. This can be at your workplace, or for even better focus, on Mallorca away from the job. We prepare you for your short intensive training so that you know what to expect, and we follow up with regular updates so that you can continue to make progress even after the training.

Comments and recommendations from our clients
After the training, I started more relaxed into the daily conversations, rang up my colleagues pro-actively and contacted one potential customer in the UK. That was challenging but I felt good and so it worked well. Actually, I have no idea how to make the training better, because for me it was the best, I ever had. I also recommend you to some of my colleagues and friends.
Clive Davies ist ein excellenter Englischtrainer. Er löste meine Sprachbarrieren und hat es geschafft, dass ich ohne Angst Englisch spreche. Ich kann das Training mit Clive nur empfehlen. Clive ist außerdem als Proofreader und Übersetzer für meinen Verlag tätig. Auch hier liefert er sehr gute Arbeitsergebnisse und gewann einige Neukunden.
Clive Davies erfasste in erstaunlich kurzer Zeit alle wichtigen Inhalte und Ziele meines Vortrages. So hatten wir schnell die Struktur der Präsentation festgelegt und konnten mit dem Üben beginnen. Korrekturen von Grammatik und Vokabular flossen sehr unauffällig aber bestimmt ein. Das Bewusstsein dafür zu schulen, welche Wirkungen mit welcher Kommunikation (verbal und non-verbal) erzielt werden können, steht im Mittelpunkt seiner Arbeit. Alles hat er mit großer persönlicher Wertschätzung begleitet. Die gemeinsame Arbeit mit ihm hat richtig Spass gemacht. Das wird sicher nicht das letzte Projekt mit Clive gewesen sein.
Hallo Clive, ich möchte mich auf diesem Weg für Deinen außergewöhnlichen Englischunterricht bedanken. Ich hatte zuvor so ziemlich alles probiert was üblicherweise für Wiedereisteiger Angeboten wird.Bei Deiner lockeren und Praxis bezogenen Art gewinnt man schnell an Selbstvertrauen und Sicherheit. Ich kann Deine Arbeit für jeden, der einsteigt oder sich weiterentwickeln will, nur empfehlen. Bis zum nächsten Mal.
I recommend personalised Business English training with Clive Davies to improve your confidence and ability to communicate at a professional level.

Feel good English
It is said that people don’t remember what you say as much as how you make them feel. So what implications does this have for language learning? It means that it’s not only important that we learn grammar and vocabulary, we also need to learn how to make people feel good. Communication is so much more than simply speaking and understanding words and phrases. There is also a cultural element which needs to be addressed if we are to be good at communication. This is why, in my training sessions, I always ask ‘Who do you want to talk to?’
Understanding our clients and prospects has to go far beyond the translation of their words. We can have the...
Strong foundations
It’s a new year, which means new challenges and new plans, at least for the first few weeks. Then a lot of us will go back to old habits and carry on much as before, which means the repetition of old results and old disappointments. This is such a common experience for so many of us, it’s amazing that we still even consider trying to make changes at the turn of the year. Will we never learn that it just doesn’t work? To be fair to myself, I do still go to the gym quite frequently, if not regularly, after almost 2 years of membership. I have multiple motivations for this though - the monthly payments, of course, my...

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a device that you could wear which told you how well you were doing with developing your language skills, giving you the motivation to keep going or to do just a little more? Just like your smartwatch, it would monitor you all the time and, perhaps, vibrate when it detected a grammatical error or the choice of an incorrect word. Is this a technological fantasy or a vision of the future? I don’t know. However, I do know that monitoring short-term progress is important for maintaining motivation and connection with the longer-term goal. That’s why wearable devices for monitoring exercise and fitness have become so popular. If we can’t see the results...

Advances in technology have always had an impact on the way we work and the tasks that we perform ever since the start of the industrial revolution. Now, with advances in artificial intelligence, machines are often better and faster than humans, especially when performing repetitive tasks. This leads people to constantly try to predict the skills that will be required in the future so that appropriate training can be provided and meaningful employment created. On the one hand, problem-solving and technological skills are increasingly in demand to develop these new technologies. Programmers and engineers of all kinds are in high demand. On the other hand, we can see a continued need for ‘soft skills’ which dictionary.com defines as ‘personal...
Mehr lesen...Presentation or conversation?
You have arranged a meeting with a potential client and you want to tell her about your products or services and the temptation to show a presentation that you have practised and are familiar with is very strong. Your hope is that you can show her what you do and she will simply buy it. Unfortunately, life seems to be less and less like that. The world is moving away from the standardised and towards the personalised. This means that giving the same presentation to every potential client is no longer acceptable. Presentations should really be reserved for group audiences. A sales meeting is no longer a presentation, it is now a conversation. A conversation where, perhaps, the salesperson...
