Let’s talk English! No matter what industry you work in or what position you hold, I’m here to help you build your confidence in speaking English.
During our sessions, you’ll do the talking while I support you by helping you find correct and appropriate phrasing and instilling confidence in the structures of the language so you can speak fluently. My training is always personalized and 100 percent tailored to your needs.
I’m a business English coach and the author of five books. I offer one-on-one coaching and corporate training. As a native German speaker with 30 years of experience in the field of communication, I understand your needs in both languages.
I’ll professionally guide you in approaching the English language from a perspective that makes speaking spontaneously easier and makes using English more enjoyable. Language is a powerful tool, and from my own experience, I know that people are impatient and want to make quick progress. You can rest assured that I’m committed to advancing your personal progress. I give you my word on that. Because that’s what I want, too—targeted training.
It only makes sense that I try to share with you something that has worked for me. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many specialists and executives, and I know that it’s extremely important not to lose your professionalism in an international setting.
English Speaking Confidence can be a great help to you. Please get in touch and find out how I can help you.

„I can help you lose that fear of switching to English spontaneously.“
Switching between German and English—no problem. If you practice it. My strength lies in my experience in business and communication in both languages. You can discuss complex topics with me and be sure that I understand you. We’ll find the right words for you in English.
“My promise: I will help you make personal progress. Tell me where you feel unsure. In a brief conversation, we’ll figure out what we can start working on right away.”
Let’s work together to solve your problem with speaking English. You’ll overcome your insecurity when speaking English.
Feedback for Birgit Kasimirski:
Client: “It’s impressive how Birgit always found the right translations for technical terms during our conversations—terms that many people probably wouldn’t even know how to interpret in German.”
Client: “Birgit offers both professionalism and flexibility. For me, this is the perfect language coaching—well worth every penny!”
Client: “I’ve made significant progress with a manageable amount of effort. For me, personalized coaching is much more effective than general training.”
My focus in coaching isn’t just on the language itself. My focus is on how you come across in English.

Why am I the Coach you’ve been looking for?
Because I know what you need. I understand your longing to be more fluent and I understand how little time you have to lose. I am a fast-track learner and achiever. Please take a look at my background and you will find out: I am always looking for an optimized path to achieve what I am aiming at. This is what I also apply to my trainings.
Language matters. The way you feel matters.
What I can do for you as your English Coach
We will find the wordings you need most in your daily business – in intensive sessions, where you will have to talk.
With a background as a journalist, I am never short of finding interesting and relevant questions to ask you. No matter what business you work in and what background you have. You will get a boost in new vocabulary and different ways of saying the things you really need to talk about at work.
I focus on two levels:
1: communicating your message clearly and effectively
2: communicating correctly and confidently in English
Please read what customers say:
“Due to … dormant knowledge, … lack of routine, and my own expectations, I developed a real sense of shame and fear when it came to using English in my professional life. My blood pressure would always skyrocket, coupled with massive insecurity and fear of doing something wrong. Birgit successfully cracked the whole problem for me because she has an incredibly great way of transferring knowledge and personally luring me out of my comfort zone. Learning has never been so much fun before…”
“…Although I have been presenting on television for 25 years and can speak off the cuff for three hours at a time in front of thousands of people, until recently there was one area where I felt totally insecure when speaking in front of an audience: when it came to …ENGLISH…. …Thanks to Birgit Kasimirski, I realized … how much fun grammar can be. …” (Andrea Ballschuh)
