For companies · Workshop
Presentations and Public Speaking in English, for your team.
A live online workshop for 3 to 6 colleagues who present in English: to clients, to head office, at a conference. Everyone presents in every session, with a Cambridge CELTA-qualified MEI tutor. Two formats, public prices, and a dossier your HR can forward.
Free call. In English, Italian, Spanish or Russian. Camera optional. No sales pitch.
You know the content. It's the ten minutes in English that's the problem.
Your people know their material better than anyone in the room. Then they have to deliver it in a language they don't fully control, standing up, while everybody watches. So they do what almost everyone does: write it out word for word and read it. It gets them through, and it costs everything that makes a presentation work: eye contact, emphasis, the ability to take a question without losing the thread.
This workshop gets a team off the script. Structure and signposting, so the audience can follow. Pace and pronunciation, so people are understood the first time. The fixed phrases that carry a talk from one point to the next, and a survival kit for questions. From the second session on, everyone presents on their own real material and gets feedback on language, pace and clarity.
Two formats
Eight sessions or twelve. Always twice a week.
Live sessions of 90 minutes, two a week, in a fixed slot the whole team keeps. Frequency is what makes it stick: like stretching, it works when you do it often, not when you do it long.
€750 for the group
€250 per participant
€20.83 per participant, per hour
€750 for a group of 3, + €100 for each additional participant.
Prices for the whole workshop, invoiced to the company and paid in advance.
Interested as a professional?
You don't need a whole team. Bring together 3 to 6 people at a similar level: colleagues, contacts from other companies, freelancers like you. Each company or professional receives their own invoice.
Both formats include
- A Cambridge CELTA-qualified MEI tutor with at least 10 years of teaching, the same one for every session
- MEI materials for every session, in PDF, which participants keep
- A practical task between sessions, and paired practice with a colleague
- MyMEI for every participant: materials, tasks and the record of each session
- Regular reports to the company: attendance, how the course is going, each participant's progress
- A certificate for each participant at the end, shareable on LinkedIn
What the team works on
Six things, in this order. The dossier has the programme session by session; here is the map.
- Structure and signposting. A clear beginning, middle and end, and the phrases that tell the audience where you are and what comes next.
- From script to notes. How to turn a written text into cue cards and speak from them. The one change that makes you sound like a person, not a document.
- Pace, stress and pauses. Being understood the first time: word stress, slowing down where it matters, silence as a tool.
- Slides, numbers and charts. How to describe a trend or a figure in English, and how to talk about a slide instead of reading it out.
- Questions. Asking for repetition without embarrassment, buying time, keeping the answer short, and what to say when you don't know.
- Nerves and recovery. What to do when you lose your place, the word vanishes, or someone interrupts. Phrases you can use without thinking.
The Full format adds four sessions on the layer above: narrative and argument, register for a board, a client and your own team, data as a claim, and questions under pressure, with a recorded final presentation and detailed feedback.
The dossier
Everything HR needs, in one document.
The page gives you the map. The dossier gives you the whole workshop: the programme session by session, what participants receive and keep, how the group and the levels are handled, the reports, the certificate, and the offer for your group with the price you chose above. Written to be forwarded to the person who decides.
What's inside
- The programme, session by session, for the format you chose
- Materials, tasks between sessions and paired practice
- Reports to the company, MyMEI and the certificate
- Levels, groups of mixed companies, what happens if someone misses a session
- Your offer: format, participants, total, valid for 30 days
- MEI in numbers: tutors, students who stay, reviews
You get a private link, ready to forward, and a PDF to print. Valid for 30 days. No call needed to receive it.
We only use your email to contact you, as per our privacy policy.
How the group works
Levels
Both formats run at two levels, A2+ / B1 and B1+ / B2, with the same structure and material adapted to the level: the format is about depth and time, not level. Some difference in level inside a group is normal and works well. A substantial gap doesn't: in that case we split the team into two smaller groups, or we suggest the right level for each person. Marcus looks at this with you in the first call. There is no test before the call.
One company, or several
Most groups come from one company. They don't have to. If you want to take the workshop with colleagues from other companies, or with professionals you know, you can: the group needs 3 to 6 people with a similar level, and each company or professional receives their own invoice. If you're a professional and not a company, you can take part when the workshop is invoiced to your business. We check the details together in the call.
If someone misses a session
The session goes ahead for the others; the materials and the task are in MyMEI for whoever was absent. The tutor picks the person up in the next session. We don't repeat sessions for one participant.
Reports and certificate
The company receives regular reports: attendance, how the course is going, and each participant's progress. Everyone knows this before the first session. At the end, each participant receives an MEI certificate with the programme completed, which they can add to their LinkedIn profile.
Invoice and payment
A regular company invoice, paid in advance. The price is for the whole workshop, with no extras: materials, MyMEI, reports and certificates are included.
After the workshop
Many teams continue. Presenting well in English rests on General English, and a workshop shows where the base needs work. For teams that want to keep going, there is General English for teams, month by month, with the same tutor.
One person, or two
Under 3 people, the same programme runs as individual lessons at €35 per lesson, or as paired lessons with a colleague at €24 per person, per lesson. Same tutor, same weekly slot, or slots, and the programme adapted to one or two people.
One team, one tutor, and a date in the calendar.
Start with a free 15-minute call with Marcus. Tell him about the team and the next presentation; the workshop can start the following week.
Free call. In English, Italian, Spanish or Russian. Camera optional. No sales pitch.
Questions about the workshop
What level does the team need?
From A2+ / B1. Both formats run at two levels, A2+ / B1 and B1+ / B2, and Marcus places the group in the first call. It's a presentation workshop, not a grammar course: it assumes people can hold a conversation in English and builds presentation skills on top. If you're not sure, Marcus looks at it with you in the first call.
How many people?
From 3 to 6. Small enough for everyone to present in every session; big enough for a real audience and for paired practice. For one or two people, we use individual and paired lessons.
Can I take it as a professional, without my company?
Yes. A group can bring together people from different companies, and freelancers, as long as the levels are similar. Each company or professional receives their own invoice, so a freelancer is invoiced to their own business. To find the others, the “Invite other professionals” button next to the prices gives you a ready LinkedIn post.
How much does it cost?
The price is public: €750 for a group of 3, plus €100 for each additional participant for the Intensive format (8 sessions), €1,025 for 3, plus €125 for each additional participant for the Full format (12 sessions). The calculator on this page shows the total for your group; the dossier states it, valid for 30 days.
What is in the dossier?
The programme session by session, the materials and the work between sessions, how levels and groups are handled, the reports to the company, the certificate, and the offer for your group. It's a private link you can forward, and a PDF you can print.
Is it live, or recorded?
Live, always. The tutor is present, responds to the real group and adjusts the pace. Nothing is pre-recorded.
In what language are the sessions?
In English. The first call with Marcus can be in English, Italian, Spanish or Russian.
When can we start?
After a free 15-minute call with Marcus, as early as the following week, depending on the team's calendar and the tutor's slots.
