English Coaching
for Arts Professionals
Speak English without Compromising Your Message
Creative Practice-based Learning for English
Art careers are made by people clicking with each other in one context and reaching out in another.
It all feels informal, but within such gigs and jams are opportunities to impress, promote yourself and propel your career forward.
Gigs & Jams is practice-based creative learning for English.
That’s English coaching which gives you the tools to be YOURSELF in English.
Don’t compromise your message.
Own your English.
Why Do Creatives Need Specialist English Training?
English for Creative Careers is not (as many people think), just art and design vocabulary wrapped in general English.
English for creatives rehearses all the language skills YOU need to make, promote and present creative work as an L2 English user across international art & design professions.
English for creatives has different goals from any other kind of language training. It’s about getting your words exact when precision matters, and laughing in the wind when it doesn’t.
- If it’s not practice-based, it’s not relevant.
- It needs to be compelling or you won’t do it.
- It must fit into YOUR lifestyle, and morph around your changing needs.
Creatives: choose a skilled, experienced English teacher/coach with a professional background in the arts.
Their experience is the bridge between the language you need and being art career-ready.
