— THE STARTING POINT
Working in international tech means constant English - in standups, code reviews, demos, and Slack threads. Miscommunication slows teams down. Missing the right words in a meeting costs you visibility.
We fix that.
Understand colleagues better
Follow fast-paced discussions with English-speaking teammates and never miss the nuance again.
Speak more fluently
Express your ideas clearly in standups, retros, and client demos without hesitation.
Expand job opportunities
Open doors to international roles, remote teams, and global tech companies.
Grow your network
Engage confidently in tech communities, conferences, and online conversations.
— OUR APPROACH
▶ BUILT FOR AGILE TEAMS
Role plays & simulations
We simulate real agile scenarios - planning, stand-up, retrospectives - so the language you practise is the language you actually use.
▶ DISCUSSION-BASED
Ideas, not grammar drills
Classes take the form of real discussions. You learn to articulate technical ideas, give feedback, push back, and present, all in English.
▶ FLEXIBLE FORMAT
Easy to fit into work life
Just 1 hour per week of live online class. Optional homework focuses on grammar and writing. Intensive options available on request.
▶ SMALL GROUPS
5 to 10 students only
Small enough that every student gets speaking time and personal feedback every session. Big enough for meaningful simluations.
▶ ONGOING SUPPORT
WhatsApp group between classes
Questions, vocabulary, real situations. We stay connected and supportive between live sessions in our WhatsApp community.
▶ REAL EXPERIENCE
Taught by tech practitioners
We've held multiple roles in agile teams and understand the language, culture, and challenges from the inside.

— WHO WE ARE
Between us, we bring more than 30 years of hands-on experience in tech - as developers, leads, consultants, and coaches. We know what a sprint demo feels like. We know the anxiety of presenting to stakeholders in a second language.
We designed this course because we could not find a programme that truly spoke to the tech world we know.
So we built one.

Most Business English courses teach you how to write emails and attend meetings — useful, but generic. We built this course specifically for agile tech teams. Every role play, discussion topic, and vocabulary set comes from real tech environments: sprint planning, code reviews, retrospectives, stakeholder demos. Our teachers have worked as developers, leads, and consultants — they know what it actually feels like to present to a product owner in your second language.
Anyone working in tech who uses English as a second language at work. That includes software developers, designers, product managers, QA engineers, and team leads — essentially everyone who shows up to a standup, writes a Slack message to a colleague, or presents work to an English-speaking stakeholder. You don't need to know your level, we assess your level before you start and place you in the right group.
Each package is 10 hours of live, small-group instruction delivered online, one hour per week. Classes are discussion-based — no grammar drills. Between sessions, there's optional AI-assisted homework focused on writing and grammar. The format is designed to fit around a full-time tech job: low time commitment, high impact. Intensive formats are available if you'd prefer to move faster.
We cap classes at 10 students maximum, with a minimum of 5. Small enough that you get speaking time and personal feedback every single session. Big enough to run meaningful simulations — a standup with two people isn't a standup. The small group also means you're learning alongside peers who understand your context: the tech world, the pressure, the specific vocabulary.
Each 10-hour package is €400 per person. You can take one package or both (€800 total). Most of our participants claim the course through their employer's training or professional development budget — we provide company invoicing to make this easy. If you're not sure whether your company covers this kind of training, we're happy to provide a formal quote you can bring to your manager or HR team.
Classes run during Central European Time (CET/CEST), making them ideal for professionals based in Europe or working with European teams. Specific time slots vary by cohort. Book an intro call and we'll match you with a schedule that works for you — or let you know when the next suitable cohort opens.
Yes — the course is fully online and open to anyone globally, as long as the CET/CEST time slot works for your timezone. We've had participants from Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East joining teams that operate on European hours. If timing is a barrier, let us know and we'll explore options.
We have a free proficiency test you can take in a few minutes. It helps us understand your current level and place you in the most appropriate group. You don't need to be at an advanced level — we work with participants from intermediate to upper-intermediate and above. What matters more than your score is your motivation to speak more confidently at work.
