If English makes you sound smaller than you are, it’s not your English.
It’s pressure. And that’s where we start.

You’ve built your career by performing under pressure.
But in English, something changes.
Not your knowledge. Not your expertise.
The connection between thought and speech becomes less reliable.
That is the real issue.
And that is exactly what I work on.
I work with executives and entrepreneurs whose English does not fully reflect how they already operate at work.
No grammar drills. No textbook exercises.
Just focused work on what blocks clarity under pressure.
Hello, I’m Christine.
You have years of experience and a strong reputation in your field.
But in high-pressure conversations, something changes.
Your thoughts speed up. Your voice tightens. You know what you mean, but in English it does not always come out as clearly as it should.
For 26 years, I’ve helped German native speakers reduce this friction. The goal isn’t a simplified version of you. It’s the real one.
What becomes possible when the block is gone?
✔ You speak without building every sentence in your head first.
✔ You respond more directly in real situations.
✔ You stay in the conversation instead of rehearsing your next sentence.
✔ Your professional competence comes through as it does in your first language.
✔ And the small talk in between feels easy again — the conversations that have nothing to do with work.
Many programmes promise better English. I help you reduce the gap between thinking and speaking in real time, especially when pressure is high.
You know the usual options.
Another English course? Your problem isn’t a lack of knowledge – it’s accessing what you already know when it matters.
Conversation practice? Helpful, to a point. But in most casual conversations, when the block happens, you both politely glide past it and keep talking. I don’t. That exact moment of hesitation is where our real work begins.
A presentation coach? They organise your message. Not the part where you need to retrieve it under pressure.
I work on the gap between thinking and speaking – in real time and in your real situations.
How we know it’s working
We start with a real conversation, not a level test.
You bring the situations where English costs you something – the Q&A where you went quiet, the meeting you prepared sentences for, the email you sent afterwards to say what you actually meant.
Those are the moments we come back to as we work.
Success here isn’t measured in a test score. It is measured where it matters: in the next unexpected question, the next boardroom confrontation, the next moment of high pressure.
It’s the feeling that you can finally aufblühen – and sound like yourself.
And it shows up where there’s no pressure at all – in the offhand conversation that suddenly flows again.
Let’s speak
A quiet, 30-minute conversation to look at where pressure is creating friction.
We will map out exactly what is happening when your English narrows and identify what would help you move past it.
There is no sales pitch. If we are a good fit to work together, we will both know it by the end of the conversation.
SPARKS OF ENGLISH
For professionals who use English at work and still don’t feel comfortable speaking it.
You probably know more English than you think. But knowing the words and reaching them when you need them are two different things. Especially under pressure.
Short thoughts and real situations from my work. Not lessons. No homework. And I’m not going to correct your English.
Less than a minute. And it gets a little easier to say what you actually mean.
PS The Sparks now live on my German page. The emails are still in English.
