Lindsay's testimonial
"Barnaby was my trainer when I did the TESOL Diploma in English language teaching over twenty years ago. He was knowledgeable and confident then, and I was not surprised to see the same confidence and knowledge shine through in his video courses on Language and Communication Coaching. The full course is very professionally put together, with lots of helpful explanation videos as well as live demonstrations of the techniques a language and communication coach can use taken directly from online classes with real learners. It’s an impressive package, and one I’d say is definitely worth taking a look at if you are looking to branch your teaching out into the world of Language and Communication Coaching"

Nicoletta's testimonial
"I decided I wanted to do Barnaby’s online Language and Communication Coaching course after attending one of his workshops where he explained his coaching method and talked about the importance of emotions and self-belief in language learning. That resonated with my own experience both as a teacher and a learner. I have observed numerous times learners being held back by mindset barriers and what a difference it makes when they overcome them. This course has not only helped me gain insight into language coaching but it has provided me with concrete strategies and coaching techniques that I am now using to help my coachees with very positive results. Highly recommended as a holistic approach to language teaching and learning!"

Maria's testimonial
I recently completed the BGLC Language and Communication Coaching course and it exceeded all my expectations. I specifically wanted a course focused on communication and tailored to my clients' needs, and BGLC delivered on both fronts. The course offers practical techniques that are incredibly effective for both new and experienced language teachers. The video demonstrations with real learners were particularly helpful, providing clear examples of how to apply the techniques in real-world settings. I now feel more confident in my teaching and have noticed significant improvements in my students' progress. Investing in this course has been invaluable, and I believe it is essential for anyone looking to enhance their language teaching skills and achieve better communication outcomes for their clients.

"Barnaby provides a different coaching methodology with greater added value: you receive a much more targeted feedback to feel self-sufficient and confident in your professional use of English, above and beyond the usual technical details."
