A live masterclass for ambitious non-native English speakers who want to speak with confidence — even when things don’t go perfectly.
You can’t control how people react to your English.
But you can control what actually determines your confidence, clarity, and presence.
On February 7th, at 10am PST, I’m hosting a live masterclass to help you shift your focus from what drains your energy to what gives you real power as an English speaker.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, self-conscious, or held back by other people’s reactions — this is for you.
Most English learners don’t struggle because of a lack of vocabulary.
They struggle because:
They overthink every reaction
They shut down after misunderstandings
They lose confidence when someone seems impatient or rude
They feel unprepared for important conversations
And over time, this creates hesitation, tension, and silence — even when their English is actually good.
The real issue isn’t your English.
It’s where your attention goes when you speak.
In this live session, you’ll learn how to:
⁍ Focus on the elements of speaking that actually move the needle
⁍ Stay grounded when people don’t understand you
⁍ Handle awkward or uncomfortable reactions without losing confidence
⁍ Adjust your pacing so you sound clearer and more intentional
⁍ Prepare mentally and strategically for high-stakes conversations
⁍ Speak English with more calm, authority, and self-trust
This is not about “perfect English.”
It’s about reliable confidence — even in real-life, imperfect situations.
This masterclass is for you if:
⁍ You live or work in English and want to feel more at ease speaking
⁍ You’re tired of letting other people’s reactions define your confidence
⁍ You want practical mindset tools you can apply immediately
⁍ You’re ambitious, capable, and ready to stop playing small in English
About the Host
Hi, I’m João.
I’m a results-oriented ESL coach, former Vice-Consul of Brazil and former conference interpreter, and I help ambitious professionals speak English with clarity, confidence, and presence.
I’ve worked with countless clients whose English was “good enough” — but whose confidence wasn’t.
This masterclass is built from years of helping people shift how they relate to English, not just how they speak it.
