    • You feel stuck — English classes are helpful, but the learning stops after the class finishes.
    • You think in German and translate in your head when listening or speaking which slows you down.
    • Your classes often focused on grammar,but you still don’t feel confident speaking or listening.
    • You’re tired of relying on apps that don’t deliver meaningful results.
    • You like being prepared and would rather feel ready than nervous entering real situations.
    • You see others who learn languages easily and believe you are not “one of them”.
    • You would like to feel in control of your English — so you never need another course again.

  • I'm here to help

    In just 8 weeks, I help German speakers make real progress with your English by coaching and developing personalised learning strategies you can use again and again, preparing you to speak English with confidence and connect in real conversations.

    "It was a very successful experience. Mike gave me a completely new way to approach learning. I practised transcriptions, worked on pronunciation with targeted strategies, and learned how to keep going independently. After just eight weeks, I finally feel confident about using English on my trip."

    — VHS Intensive course student
