English-Language Public Speaking and Presenting in Utrecht
Do you have to speak to a group for school or university? Present for business? Does the thought leave you dreading the moment, or simply a little unsure of how best to communicate your message?
- Speak clearly, strongly and healthily!
- Be more at ease in front of an audience!
- Get your point across without it feeling laboured!
Whatever level of confidence and competence you have in public speaking, there's always room for improvement. Whether you want to focus on how your body language says just as much as your words, work humour and ease into an otherwise stiff delivery, or just get to the end and have your audience take away your key message, I can help you.
I work in English, but also speak fluent Dutch, so we can switch back and forth if necessary. I can either plan a series of sessions, or you can come to me with specific goals to work on. I can give you homework, or for those with little time, we can simply work in the sessions themselves.

About Me
I'm a native British actor and voiceover artist with 20+ years experience. I've performed at the National Theatre in London, Bristol Old Vic, and stages across the Netherlands. My voice has been heard across six continents (I'm working on Antarctica!) in museums, animations, video games, commercials, audiobooks and more.My voice is my work, and helping others find *their* voice is endlessly satisfying. There's little I love more than seeing someone grow into everything they can be as a public speaker and presenter.
Education
After starting my career at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, I formalised my training at Exeter University with a degree in Drama. Since moving to the Netherlands I've trained in the Leila Gray Meisner Technique.Experience / Qualifications

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children.
We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture.
My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you.
Can't wait to meet you and start this language journey together!

Gain confidence in speaking English with complete immersionEnglish is falsely presented as an easy language, especially by French speakers. This is a serious mistake! While French is often difficult because of the many grammatical exceptions, particularly regarding spelling, English is endowed with immense complexity in terms of its sounds. Whereas the French speaker complains about itchy eyes, the English speaker will have difficulty hearing you, and no, it's not snobbery; their ear has been educated in a more subtle way. The greatest difficulties in English come from its chaotic sounds, which at first seem absurd or even useless, while they are proof of the many influences and transformations of this language, which has become the de facto lingua franca almost everywhere on the planet. To simplify, English is the result of a Germanic invasion of Celtic lands, Latinized by Vikings speaking Old French from Normandy. The syntax is originally Germanic, but the auxiliary verb do is Celtic, and more than half of its vocabulary is Latin or French! In short, English is much more complex and subtle than it seems, and it's not for nothing that most French speakers pronounce it badly!

Economics, English, and Business Tutoring. Assist with mastering concepts: Understanding Tools and MechanismsOver the years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students tackle subjects that can feel intimidating at first but are incredibly rewarding once you start to understand them. Whether it's Economics, English, or Business, I’ve seen firsthand how small breakthroughs can lead to big moments of confidence.
In Economics, I love taking complex concepts like supply and demand, market structures, and economic policies and breaking them down into something that makes sense. I've had many students who started feeling lost, but once we worked through a few examples together, they realized that economics isn’t as difficult as it seems—it’s all about understanding the patterns and relationships.
When it comes to English, I’ve helped countless students refine their writing and communication. Whether it’s crafting a compelling essay, improving grammar, or just feeling more comfortable reading difficult texts, I've been there with my students through every step. The best part? Seeing the growth from struggling with basic concepts to confidently expressing themselves in writing and conversation.
And in Business, I’ve worked with students ranging from those who dream of running their own companies to those looking to ace their business courses. Together, we dive into the foundations of marketing, management, and finance, and I love seeing those "aha" moments when the dots connect. It’s such an exciting field because it’s all about real-world applications, and I make sure to tie lessons back to the skills students need for future success.
What I’ve learned from tutoring in these subjects is that each student has a unique learning style, and my goal is always to tailor the experience to what works best for them. Whether you need extra help preparing for an exam, want to polish your writing, or are looking to understand how business really works in the world, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
