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.

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.
Companies who have put their trust in us include...



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.

Getting your CV right #2
Present your career to date to match the job requirements.
It is important to adapt your CV to each job application so that is emphasises your skills and experience that are most relevant each time. It's very common to want to write down all the responsibilities of every previous position held but this can weaken the presentation of your experience from the reader's point of view. Employers are looking for a specific set of skills and experience and will have indicated as much in the job description or advertisement for the position. If you have these skills and experiences then make sure you emphasise them when writing about each of your previous positions.
This is not dishonest, it is...
Getting your CV right #1
What do you want to say to sell yourself?
Despite the current crisis, it is encouraging to see that recruitment is still happening. Many people will be hoping for a fresh start in the coming year and, in order to achieve this, a good CV in English is going to be necessary for many applications to international companies. But what goes in a good CV?
A good CV needs to be adapted for each job application but it is a good idea to have the basic framework prepared. I have seen lots of different styles and designs but I think the basic concept is always the same: what do you want to say in order to present yourself...
Keep an English Journal
The day before yesterday I spoke with a client from Germany. She was in England getting ready to go for dinner with British business partners who don't speak German, of course. We spoke about the various possible conversation topics, from smalltalk to business topics. The last thing I said to her was 'Enjoy the dinner,' and she laughed a little. Perhaps because she was nervous.
Yesterday she had a more formal meeting and a presentation to give, all in English. We have been through the presentation together and she knows the content well but she still felt a little nervous. It's normal.
I advised her to make some notes as soon as she had a quiet moment after the...
The best way
What is the best way and how long does it take?
These seem to be two of the most frequently asked questions these days in almost all walks of life and they illustrate the sense of pressure and urgency that we feel in almost everything that we do. One might expect the concept of ‘the best way’ to be related to a desire for achieving the highest level of success but the second, follow-up question shows this to be a false supposition. The reality is a desire for ‘fast results’ in preference to ‘the best results.’ Of course, the answer, which nobody wants to hear, no matter how correct, is usually ‘the best way is the slow way...
Procrastination - the art of delaying things
Following last nights decision by the European Union to offer a ‘short delay’ to the United Kingdom in their Brexit process, today seems to be an appropriate day to talk about delaying things. The key condition in the EU offer is that there must be a good reason for the delay. It should allow something important to happen: in this case an agreement in the UK Parliament. If the extra time allowed is wasted and at the end of the delay there is no change in the situation, then the consequences could be very serious.
The consequences of not reaching our objectives have potentially serious impacts on our businesses and our personal lives. All of this starts when we’re...
