Gary Edgington Business English Trainer

Hi I'm Gary and I'm a freelance English trainer here in sunny Mülheim an der Ruhr.

I've been conducting in-house training for companies all over the Ruhr, area since 2004

Because, being a freelancer is a business built around friends and family, I know from personal experience that behind every great company is a collection of unique personalities. By getting to know you on a personal level, the path to creating meaningful and useful content begins to unfold organically.

I balance the need for the traditional grammar lessons with real world insights so that the language used in class applies to your business and feels intentional and seamless.

As a small business owner, I get what works and what doesn’t. You can count on me to be with you every step of the way. By the time your course finishes, chances are that we’ll be friends. I try to do things differently around here and it shows.

Welcome to the family.

In the initial conversation, we’ll review your wants and needs, timeline and pricing so that we can make sure we're on the same page. Once we’ve agreed to work together we can get down to the nitty gritty

You’ll receive a link to my online booking page via email. It prevents double booking and is very simple to use. Once we’ve finalise a time and a date to start our first lesson, It’s time to celebrate!

The lessons will take place via Zoom, Skype or Teams etc. I prefer Microsoft Teams. Everyone uses Teams, right? Content will be agreed on during the initial conversation but can be adjusted as we go along.

Once we’ve completed the lesson and everyone is happy it’s time to pay up. Payments (via PayPal) should be made immediately after the class has finished.

I guess you must be sick of sitting in front of a screen all day, I get that. It seem the whole day is a constant, never-ending Microsoft Teams meeting.

If someone had told you a few years ago that you'd be working from home, you would have probably thought they were insane. Well, here we are. Many of you can now see the advantages. You wouldn't be reading this if you couldn't.

Convenience and flexibility, you set the pace and the content.

No commuting or travelling to the local college (VHS).

You can save money but, saying that, I'm not cheap. If you want cheap, go buy a book.
