English for the emails you actually write
The goal isn't to memorise formal phrases. It's to help you write messages that are clear, natural, professional and appropriate for the person you're communicating with.
Make requests clearly
Ask for information, action or support without sounding too direct, too vague or unnecessarily formal.
Choose the right tone
Adapt your language for colleagues, managers, clients, customers and people you don't know well.
Follow up professionally
Write useful follow-ups, reminders and updates without sounding impatient or repetitive.
Explain ideas naturally
Organise information so your emails are easy to understand and your main point is obvious.
Handle difficult messages
Practise polite ways to disagree, apologise, raise problems and communicate changes or delays.
Sound more natural
Replace translated or overly formal wording with English that sounds professional and genuinely natural.
Practise the emails you actually need to write
Generic email vocabulary can help, but working on your real communication situations is more useful. Lessons can be built around your job, industry, responsibilities and the people you communicate with.
Where appropriate, bring suitable non-confidential examples or describe the situation you need to handle. We can work on structure, wording, tone, grammar and natural alternatives.
You receive direct feedback while you practise, so you leave with specific language you can use in your next email.
