Online English Conversation Coach

Speak English the way
people actually speak it.

For anyone who wants to sound more natural, confident, and genuinely themselves — whether you're in a meeting, travelling, chatting with friends, or just going about your day.

You say "I didn't understand."
We make it natural "That went over my head."

Michelle — Online English Speaking Coach
About Michelle

I coach the way
you actually speak.

I'm Michelle — born and raised in South Africa, coaching students across the globe. With 7 years of online teaching experience and more than 1,000 students coached, I've learned exactly what holds people back from speaking naturally, and what genuinely helps them break through.

My students come from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, China, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, and beyond. Some need English for business. Others for travel, social situations, or just everyday life. What they all share is this: they want to sound like themselves — relaxed, fluent, and real.

I listen to how you speak, and in real time I show you a better way to say it. Not grammar rules on a whiteboard — real expressions, idioms, and natural phrases that native speakers actually use. The kind of English that makes people think: "They sound just like a native speaker."

The Coaching Method

From basic to natural.
In real time.

Every session is a live conversation. You speak — I listen — and I give you a more natural way to say it, right then and there. No homework. No waiting. Just better English, immediately.

You say

"I am feeling sick."

More natural

"I'm under the weather."

You say

"It was very easy."

More natural

"It was a piece of cake."

You say

"I don't understand."

More natural

"You've lost me."

You say

"He was very angry."

More natural

"He hit the roof."

This happens in every single session — across business, travel, small talk, and everyday conversation.

What We Cover

English for every part of your life

Private one-on-one sessions, shaped entirely around you — your goals, your situations, your voice.

Business & Work

Meetings, presentations, emails, negotiations, and networking. Sound authoritative, professional, and completely at ease — in English.

Small Talk & Social

The conversations that happen between the meetings. Small talk, humour, social situations — the English that builds real connections.

Travel & Daily Life

Airports, hotels, restaurants, directions, and real-world situations. The practical, everyday English that gives you total independence.

Who This Is For

Is this right for you?

Michelle works with intermediate and advanced English speakers who can already hold a conversation — but want to sound more natural, more expressive, and more genuinely themselves.

You're in the right place if:

  • Your English is understood, but it sounds stiff, formal, or translated
  • You understand more than you can confidently say out loud
  • You've tested at intermediate level on paper, but freeze or stumble in real conversation
  • You want to express your personality in English — not just your point

One thing worth knowing:

A grammar test score is not a speaking level. Many students score intermediate on an exam but struggle to hold a natural conversation. These are completely different skills. Michelle's coaching is built for people who can already speak — and want to speak better.

This is not beginner coaching. When you're ready to go from intermediate to advanced — from understood to genuinely fluent — this is exactly where that journey happens.

A few things to know

Scheduling Your Sessions

Once you've booked your package, you can schedule your sessions at any time through the booking link I'll send you. Sessions are available Monday to Friday, and I recommend spacing them out evenly to give yourself time to practise between lessons.

Your sessions are valid for 28 days (Weekly package) or 56 days (Intensive package) from your start date — so there's no pressure to rush.

Rescheduling and Cancellations

Life happens. If you need to reschedule, I ask for at least 24 hours' notice so I can offer that time to another student.

  • 24+ hours' notice — your session is rescheduled at no charge.
  • Less than 24 hours — the session is counted as used. I'm not able to offer a replacement for late cancellations.
  • No-shows (missing a session without notice) — the session is forfeited.

I hold this boundary respectfully and consistently for all students — it's the only way I can manage my schedule fairly.

Sessions Are Personal

Sessions are personal and non-transferable. Your package is for you only — sessions cannot be passed on to a family member, friend, or anyone else in your place. My coaching relationship is with you specifically, and each session is tailored to your goals, your voice, and your progress. If you're unable to attend, please reschedule rather than send someone else.

Discovery Session

The $50 Discovery Session is a one-time, non-refundable session. If you decide to continue afterwards, your $50 is credited toward your first package — so it effectively costs you nothing extra to get started.

Packages and Payments

Packages are paid upfront and are non-refundable once sessions have begun. If you have an unexpected emergency before any sessions have taken place, please reach out and we can discuss your options.

Packages do not roll over or extend beyond their validity period. Unused sessions at expiry are forfeited — so please book regularly and make the most of your time.

Technical Issues

If there's a technical problem on my end (Google Meet fails, connection drops, etc.), I will always make it right — either by completing the session another way or rescheduling at no charge.

If the connection issue is on your end, we'll do our best to continue. If the session is genuinely unusable, contact me and we'll find a fair solution together.

A Note on Commitment

My students get results because they show up consistently and practise between sessions. If you're ready to commit to that, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
