Interview

James Simmonds on English for IT & Software in Berlin

I've been working with IT teams for over 22 years. In Berlin, that means startup culture, international teams, rapid product cycles. My training uses real scenarios from your day-to-day work - investor pitches, sprint planning, technical architecture discussions. Not textbook English, but the English your team needs on Monday.

My Berlin clients include Spryker, orderbird, and several other scale-ups and tech companies. In total, I work with over 10 IT clients in Berlin. Each company has different requirements - from e-commerce platforms to FinTech solutions.

Imagine your developer has to present a technical architecture to an international board tomorrow. With the AI avatar, they can practise it tonight at 10 PM - as often as they like. The avatar gives instant feedback on pronunciation, word choice, and persuasiveness. It's like a sparring partner who always has time.

That's exactly the point. In Berlin, English is often already the working language, but there's a huge difference between getting by and communicating confidently. A CTO doing an investor pitch, a product owner in a sprint review - they need precise, persuasive English. That's what we train.

In Hannover, I work mainly with established corporations like Continental or Sennheiser. Berlin is different: more startup dynamics, more venture capital communication, more international teams as the default. The training is faster, more agile - just like Berlin's tech scene itself.

From 60 euros per hour, VAT-exempt. The exact costs depend on team size and format. Plus the AI avatar for unlimited practice around the clock. Contact me for a free consultation and individual needs analysis.
