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.

What is important?
I remember seeing a post on social media which asked ‘Which is most important, vocabulary or grammar?’
If you want to communicate well in any language it’s difficult to have one without the other. For this reason, I think the question itself is somewhat misguided. Is the implication that we have to spend time alternating between learning grammar rules and lists of words?
I find rules confusing and I’m sure I’m not the only one. If I had to stop speaking to think about grammar rules I would never say anything. For example, earlier today I was preparing a class for next week which focusses on using adverbs. The rules say that adverbs usually go after the verb but...
Oral gymnastics
I think that everybody, at some time or other, has problems with pronunciation. I believe this is because we spend our whole lives speaking our native languages and then, when we want to learn something new, we have to start using our mouths in new ways. The mouth is like a musical instrument used to create sounds by flexing the lips, tongue, jaw and facial muscles to vary the size and shape of the mouth as we speak. We also use the throat, vocal cords and air from the lungs in the production of sound. If we spend our lives producing the same set of sounds all the time and then suddenly we have to start to make some...

I am often asked how long it takes to learn a language, especially English. The answer ranges from ‘all your life’ to ‘just a few moments’. To learn a whole language is a lifetime’s work but how long does it take to learn to say, ‘good morning’? You probably know how to say, ‘good morning’ in various languages. How long did that take to learn? It isn’t easy to say how long we take to learn something. Sometimes we forget what we have learned. Sometimes we need something to help us to remember, like a ‘cheat sheet’. If we repeatedly perform the same processes at work, we can set up systems to help us. For example, if one of...

I recently had someone tell me that their problem with learning English was ‘time’. Not having enough time is often given as a reason for not doing things, not just language learning but lots of things that we say we would like to do. Of course, we all have the same amount of time; twenty-four hours each day. So how is it that some people seem to have more time available than other people? What’s the solution to the time problem?
The solution is to decide what we want to do with the time we have. How do we want to spend our twenty-four hours each day?
Life is full of distractions and one of the biggest challenges we...
The test of time
There is a growing debate across Europe about the usefulness of changing the time, adjusting the clocks by one hour, twice a year. At this time of year, we move the clocks back one hour and many people are grateful for the extra hour in bed. Of course, that hour has to be paid back in the Spring but we can cross that bridge when we come to it. Personally, I am undecided about the best way to manage this issue. Whatever we do, we will have dark mornings and dark evenings during the winter.
There is, however, one thing that I am sure of. People in different countries talk about the time in different ways so, when we...
