Hello, I'm Jennie.
Your English Pronunciation Coach
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here.
If you're anything like me, you're likely to be curious about the person behind the company.
Hello, I'm Jennie. My love of languages has been part of my life as far back as I can remember...
We have German family friends; we're now into the 4th generation of friendship after my grandmother took part in a school exchange in the early 1950s! (How brave were her parents?!)
Over the decades our families have kept in touch and when I was young we spent time with them every year, alternating between Germany and the UK. As part of the 3rd generation of this family friendship, Tashi, my sisters and I are carrying on the tradition now we have families of our own.
This love of languages and creating long-lasting meaningful relationships with others through language played a huge part in my career as an English teacher, with a mission to live and work abroad.
During my time living in Italy and Germany I made life-long friends, connecting through our experiences as well as our language skills, before returning to the UK to continue my journey.
So, why did I become a coach? Well, if you're wondering how an English teacher, living and working abroad became a Top-Class Pronunciation Coach here in Scotland, then check out the videos below.
In the videos and texts I share some stories of how I discovered my mission as an English Pronunciation Coach to help you become a confident English communicator, in order that your English skills support your dreams in your role as a Teacher, Coach or Consultants, who has English as a second language.

How can I help you?
Since 2020 I've been working as a self-employed coach with teachers and professionals, helping them build up their confidence in their pronunciation so they can reach their goals to be confident communicators.
Before that I was working in language schools in Italy, Germany and the UK for over a decade.
Honestly, it wasn't until 2018 when I started my Diploma in TESOL that I started actively incorporating pronunciation into my lessons.
But as soon as I did, I saw the difference it made to my learners - this was the catalyst for me. Seeing how much their confidence grew from understanding more about English pronunciation.
Now I want to help you feel confident teaching pronunciation in your own classroom too, with a comprehensive understanding of how to include English pronunciation in your own lesson plans, through simple tasks and activities for your learners.
In 2024 I also achieved my certification as a Neurolanguage Coach®, having completed a course with ELC.
It was a fascinating course and has given me lots of insights into how I can best help you get the results you need, to reach your goals.
About Excellence in English Education
We understand that non-native speakers of English can sometimes feel embarrassed that their English skills are not as 'perfect' as they 'should' be after all those years of study.
Here at Excellence in English Education, we don't believe in the idea of perfection, but we do believe that everyone should be 100% comfortable with their English pronunciation and the language they use in their workplace or in their personal life.
We've put together a programme to build your confidence, so that your English skills support you in your journey to reach your goals.
Imagine...
...you stop constantly criticising your language usage, allowing your self-esteem to grow
...you're spending more time speaking English regularly, which increases your confidence
...you speak English weekly with others, who are just as passsionate about the language as you
Most of my clients work with me 1:1. which is a great way to work on personal language issues and challenges.
However, it's also important to have the opportunity to speak with others regularly to really develop your fluency.
Which is why, whenever you sign up for a 1:1 course with me, you'll get free access to Conversation Club, for a minimum of 6 months.
Want to use your English skills to reach your goals, but don't feel confident in your English pronunciation?
