I provide executive English communication consulting for legal, financial, and institutional professionals working in international environments.

With dual British–French nationality and UK legal education (University of Edinburgh, Master’s in EU Law from King’s College London), I bring 20 years of professional experience in financial services across Brussels and Luxembourg to help senior professionals refine their English communication for high-stakes contexts.

I support clients in:

• Executive spoken communication (meetings, negotiations, presentations)

• Professional writing (reports, legal/financial documents, official correspondence)

• Strategic interview preparation for international roles

• Pronunciation and delivery refinement for clarity and credibility

• Advanced preparation for IELTS / TOEIC / TOEFL when required

My approach is structured, results-driven and tailored to demanding professional schedules. Sessions are delivered exclusively online.

I work with lawyers, accountants, compliance officers, consultants, and executives seeking to improve communication impact at the highest level.
