English Under Pressure
English Confidence for Polish Professionals
Be Ready When Your English Matters.

Some conversations matter more than others
Some conversations matter more than others
An interview that could change your career
A presentation in front of senior colleagues
A meeting where you cannot afford to appear unprepared
A client call involving money or reputation
A conversation you cannot fully predict or control
When something important is at stake, the fear is rarely just about getting the grammar wrong. It may be:
Fear of appearing incompetent.
Shame about your accent.
A difference in status.
Anxiety around authority.
Perfectionism, or
The terror of going blank while everyone waits.
That is why we prepare for the people, questions, pressure, and unpredictable moments you are actually going to face.
Bring me the real situation. We’ll rehearse it together until you feel ready.
We can practise what you want to say, work through likely questions, find the vocabulary you actually need, and repeat difficult moments until they feel more familiar. You will speak with a real person, respond in real time, and rehearse the pressure; not merely correct sentences.
English Under Pressure is practical communication coaching built around your work, your immediate needs, and the situation in front of you.
How It Works
How It Works
1. Tell me what's coming up. Send me a WhatsApp message and briefly describe the situation you need to prepare for.
2. Rehearse the real situation. We practise the conversation, presentation, questions, vocabulary, and difficult moments together.
3. Leave better prepared. You finish with clearer language, useful feedback, and more confidence about what you will do next.

About Oliver
About Oliver
Hi, I'm Oliver Delorie
I'm a Canadian writer, publisher, entrepreneur, and communications professional living in Kraków.
I've taken part in six Angloville English immersion programs, working one-to-one with Polish adults who wanted to become more confident speaking English for work, travel, presentations, and everyday life.
I've started and run businesses, published books, delivered presentations, produced multimedia, and spent much of my working life communicating ideas and telling stories. I'm naturally curious, I ask a lot of questions, and I listen carefully.
That means our sessions do not feel like traditional English lessons. We can work with your actual job, your upcoming presentation, your business, your career, your travels, your ideas, or the conversation you need to have next week.
My job is to help you feel comfortable, capable, and ready to communicate when your English really matters.
