About Sohaib
I am a non-native English speaker and senior commercial leader with 18+ years of international business experience across 14 countries — giving me a uniquely practical perspective on Business English that goes far beyond what a traditional language teacher can offer.
Throughout my career I have communicated at the highest levels of international business.
At Honeywell UOP I led enterprise sales negotiations, delivered board-level presentations and managed complex stakeholder relationships across Europe, Africa and the Former Soviet Union — navigating cultural differences and language nuances in every interaction. I have written investor-ready business proposals that secured £450k in funding, presented commercial strategies to C-suite executives and negotiated multi-million dollar contracts entirely in English.
I understand the challenges faced by non-native English speakers in professional environments — the anxiety before a big presentation, the uncertainty about email tone, the struggle to sound confident and authoritative in meetings. I have worked alongside brilliant professionals from dozens of countries who faced exactly these challenges, and I know what makes the difference between good and exceptional professional English.
I hold a BSc in Chemical Engineering from the University of New Brunswick, Canada, and am trained in Miller Heiman Strategic Selling and Richardson Consultative Selling — methodologies built entirely around high-impact professional communication.
My teaching style is warm, encouraging and practical. I focus on building your confidence alongside your language skills — because in business, how you say something is just as important as what you say.
Whether you are preparing for a big presentation, improving your email writing or building confidence for senior stakeholder conversations — I will help you communicate with clarity, authority and impact.
