Hi, we're Englisch Coach Studio, a couple of English coaches based in Klagenfurt, Austria. We're here to be your sounding board, guide, and cheerleader whether you want to improve your English or just keep it sharp.
Why English coaching?
Once you know the basics, moving forward you don't need a teacher, or someone telling you what to do. From here on, it's all about having the right support, practice, and personal motivation. Do you have someone invested in your success to practice with? Have you set up your environment to make it easy to stick to regular practice? Do you have things you actually want to talk about?
When it comes to communicating in a second language, regular, everyday conversations about topics you’re genuinely interested in are the best way to see progress and practice vocabulary that is most relevant to you. Having interests, and generally just being a curious person gives you an edge.
We believe the key to maintaining and developing your English fluency is engaging content, good habits, and most importantly a supportive practice partner. In fact, the most surefire way to become fluent is pretty simple:
1. have a personal collection of interesting and relevant content & topics to talk about, 2. set up and stick to good habits around regular speaking & listening, and 3. enlist a willing victim participant to practice with who can give good feedback and challenge you - we've personally found this to be one of the most difficult steps in language--learning!
So, that's exactly what we aim to provide.
Team
As an intercultural couple, communication became a topic of personal interest pretty quickly.
Between us we've had over 13 years experience of trial and error, funny misunderstandings, and breakthroughs. As it turned out, communicating in a second language isn't always straight forward but having a native around is pretty useful. Having a deep interest in human psychology and self-improvement helps, too. Let us introduce ourselves.

About
I moved to Austria in 2011 and, like many expats, fell into English teaching. Over 12+ years of teaching, I've noticed that after a certain level, lessons centred around a teacher--student dynamic aren’t ideal for progress. I see a real need for genuine and real speaking practice, where “students” take the lead in conversations, as they would in everyday situations. You have interests, you have ideas, you have thoughts you’d like to express - so let’s do that! My background and education in Branding, Social Media Marketing, and Communication is why our process focuses on curating your online environment with the best resources and English content relevant to your lifestyle and interests.
