What we do.

The Serious Edge is a specialized strategic Executive Business English coaching service tailored for C-Suite executives, ambitious professionals, senior academics, leaders and fellow life long learners operating in global markets, who need something special from their English language learning. We eliminate language barriers so you can command boardrooms with poise and presence, deliver high-stakes presentations, and negotiate with proper authority. Lessons are conducted live 1-1 on the best available online classroom with a focus on the finest modern professional English available anywhere. 

The Materials We Use.

Lessons are constructed around the real-time reading and analysis of the latest articles released by The Financial Times and The Economist, serving as strategic anchors for advanced learning and discussion. Upon request, we also integrate the Market Leader (3rd Edition Plus) curriculum, created and supported directly by The Financial Times.

These publications are globally renowned for their elite, modern English, employing sophistication and elegance while remaining concise. With their C-suite focus and deep macroeconomic coverage, we concentrate entirely on developing the exact communication skills you need to lead, negotiate, and present with authority.

These materials are carefuly selected to help executives and ambitious professionals develop persuasive delivery, sharpen their debate skills, and optimize their professional communication. We utilize these powerful tools to deepen your vocabulary, comprehension, pronunciation, and grammar through immersive techniques like "Hot Seating" and situational roleplays related specifically to the fresh insights unpacked within the articles.

While these tools form our premium curriculum foundation, your training is inherently adaptive. We align our real-time feedback with your specific professional milestones and immediate organizational challenges. Join me on a highly illuminating journey to your Executive English success.

“With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view... Polish your wisdom: learn public justice, distinguish between good and evil, study the ways of different arts one by one" | MIYAMOTO MUSASHI (1584-1645)

YOUR ENGLISH COACH 

Your English Coach

Hello! My name is Bryn and I am from Scotland. I teach Executive Business English. I take special care for this job to keep up to date with current issues regarding Geopolitics, Business and Technology. In my spare time I study Yoshinkan Aikido where I hold a 4th degree black belt. I'm a Yoga and Meditation practitioner and also enjoy playing trumpet, guitar and piano. I also have a broad range of intellectual interests from Art History to Comparative Religion and Philosophy. I have travelled extensively, and lived for long periods in Canada and Japan especially where I continue to maintain important ties. Now I am based in the northeastern part of beautiful Brazil.

TEFL Certified, I have several years teaching experience in classrooms and online. In the past three years I have dedicated myself to purely online English teaching. During my busy days I still devote some time to kids classes as a discipline having found that nothing sharpens my skills better than teaching English to children and the challenges and constant surprises they present! 

Switching gears for The Serious Edge but maintaining the same energy, alertness and adaptability, I am completely focused on providing the best Executive Business English instruction available to students of level B1 and above. I really enjoy working closely with students and get a huge amount of satisfaction in helping them solve problems in English, gain confidence and convert their hard work into Real World situations that always make a difference.
