Built for Tech Teams

Sessions cover meetings, updates, collaboration, and presentations—exactly what you do every day in English.

You’re already doing the work. But when it comes to English, something gets in the way—whether it’s nerves, overthinking, or just never having had a space to practise. This course is for tech professionals who want to speak more confidently, clearly, and naturally in real work situations.

You’re Not Alone in This

This Bootcamp Is for You If…

  • You translate in your head before you speak—and it slows you down in meetings
  • You hesitate to ask questions or speak up because you don’t want to sound unprofessional
  • You avoid presenting or leading updates because English makes you nervous
  • You feel frustrated that your English doesn’t reflect your real experience or abilities
  • You want to grow in your career but know that communication is part of the job
You’ve Been Finding Workarounds

But They’re Slowing You Down

If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve already been trying to manage the problem: keeping quiet in meetings, rehearsing sentences in your head, using simple words to play it safe, or relying on others to lead. These strategies help you survive—but they don’t help you grow. And they definitely don’t help you sound like the capable, experienced professional you are.

This bootcamp is here to change that—by giving you the tools, the space, and the support to speak up with confidence.

You don’t need to keep playing it safe.

This Isn’t a Generic Language Course

It’s Personal. Practical. And Designed for People Like You.

You won’t find worksheets or scripted role plays here. I work closely with tech professionals—founders, developers, team leads, and product managers—to help them speak about their work with more clarity, confidence, and ease.

That means real practice for real situations: giving updates, explaining technical ideas, handling fast-paced meetings, presenting to clients, or just speaking without overthinking every word.

I bring structure, empathy, and honest feedback. You bring your voice—and together, we make it stronger.

You’re Not the First to Feel This Way

And You Won’t Be the First to Change It

I’ve helped hundreds of tech professionals—from startup founders to senior engineers—speak English with more clarity, confidence, and control. Many of them came to me feeling unsure, frustrated, or even embarrassed about how they sounded.

Now they’re giving presentations, leading meetings, getting promoted, and even speaking at international events. This bootcamp brings together everything that’s helped them succeed—so you can do the same.

I absolutely love the 1:1 weekly sessions and the accompanying homework—it’s been instrumental in helping me consolidate my learning. I also really enjoy the TedX talks and have started watching more outside the sessions. Honestly, the program content has blown me away. It's as if you read my mind and created something that perfectly suits my needs. I love how we adapt the agenda to fit what I need. I truly appreciate the positive impact this program has had on my learning journey and always wish the lessons lasted longer.

Llevo tomando clases con Darren Crisp desde 2021, y desde entonces mi inglés profesional ha evolucionado de forma consistente. Gracias a su enfoque personalizado y a la calidad de sus correcciones, he ganado fluidez, seguridad y un vocabulario mucho más preciso y avanzado. Me desenvuelvo a diario en entornos internacionales, y las clases con Darren han sido clave para mejorar mi capacidad de comunicación con claridad y soltura. Es un profesor comprometido, meticuloso y con un enfoque práctico que realmente marca la diferencia. Muy recomendable para quienes necesitan un inglés eficaz y seguro en contextos laborales exigentes.

What’s the format of the lessons?

The bootcamp combines 8 live group sessions and 4 private 1:1 coaching sessions. In the group sessions, you’ll practise with other tech professionals facing similar challenges—perfect for building confidence and learning through real scenarios. In your 1:1s, we’ll focus fully on your personal goals, challenges, and language needs.

Absolutely. The group sessions follow a shared structure, but your 1:1 coaching time is fully flexible. We can shift the focus, explore new challenges, or dive deeper into something specific at any point. It’s your space to grow.

When you sign up, you’ll choose one of the available start dates and fixed weekly time slots for the group sessions. For your 1:1 coaching sessions, you’ll receive a private booking link so you can schedule them at times that work best for you.

Groups are kept small—usually 4 to 6 people max—to make sure everyone gets to participate and receive feedback. It’s a safe, supportive environment where you’ll feel comfortable speaking up.

Life happens—we get it. Group sessions are recorded, so you can catch up if you miss one. You’ll still be able to continue with the 1:1 coaching and stay on track.

No prep is required, but you’re always welcome to bring questions or situations from work. Everything we do is practical, flexible, and based on your real-life communication needs.

You can use your 1:1 coaching sessions any time over a 10-week period from your course start date. That gives you enough flexibility to book them when they’ll be most useful.

If you can hold a conversation in English but struggle with confidence, clarity, or vocabulary in professional settings, this course is likely a great fit. If you’re unsure, book a discovery call—we’ll figure it out together.

Yes. If your employer offers training or professional development support, I’m happy to provide an invoice or help you explain how the course relates to your work.

You’ll be encouraged to apply what you learn between sessions, but there’s no formal homework. I can suggest optional activities or tools if you want to keep practising between lessons.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Let’s Talk About Your English Goals

This isn’t a sales call. It’s a space for you to talk about how you feel when you speak English at work—and where you want to improve. I’ll listen, ask the right questions, and help you decide if this bootcamp is the right fit for you. No pressure. Just an honest conversation.
