Speak English like yourself.
You're confident, clear and capable in your native language. The Fluency Code helps you sound that way in English, even under pressure.
Private speaking-performance coaching for CEOs, executives and entrepreneurs.
It's not that you don't know English. It's that you freeze when it counts.
Most of our clients can already read, write and understand English at a high level. The gap shows up live: in a meeting, a presentation, a negotiation or an unscripted question, when there's no time to translate, plan or self-edit. That's not a knowledge problem. It's a performance problem, and it has to be trained like one.
- Executives, founders, entrepreneurs and senior professionals who present, negotiate or lead in English
- B2+ professionals who already understand and can communicate in English but hesitate, translate in their head, or lose confidence live
- People preparing for high-stakes moments: leadership meetings, client pitches, interviews, public speaking
Your English is already strong. Not a fit if you're a complete beginner looking for grammar or vocabulary lessons.

Real client progress measured from baseline to final assessment.
About the assessment
Progress is tracked using the Fluency Code Performance Assessment: each client rates their own speaking at the start of the programme, then again after 12 weeks, across key speaking-performance areas: Fluency (how naturally you speak without pausing to translate or search for words), Confidence (how composed you sound under pressure), Clarity (how clearly your ideas come across), and, where relevant, Speed of response (how quickly you can respond in unscripted moments).
Scores are self-assessed by the client, not graded by David or an outside test. This isn't a standardised or scientific test — it's a consistent way to track how a client's own sense of their speaking changes over time, and you can hear that same progress for yourself in their video testimonials.
In their own words
After one week I had the best meeting in English of my career. I no longer freeze or overthink. Thank you so much!
"I'm speaking with much more flow and able to handle negotiations better than ever."
"I'm very satisfied with the level of support and personalisation that The Fluency Code provides."
"Now I can travel freely anywhere in the world, communicating effortlessly in English."
A 5-stage method for training speaking performance
Diagnose
We assess how you actually perform live, under real pressure, not just what you know, and set your starting point.
Simplify
We strip out the habits that slow you down: translating in your head, overbuilding sentences, and editing yourself mid-thought.
Train
Structured speaking reps between sessions build the reflex to respond in English without stopping to plan it first.
Pressure-Test
We simulate the real situations that matter to you — meetings, presentations, negotiations, interviews — so your performance holds up when it isn't a drill.
Perform
You use your trained skills in real professional situations, and we track your progress along the way.
Why I created The Fluency Code
I work with CEOs, executives and entrepreneurs who already speak English but don't always sound like themselves when they do. After years teaching English in China, I kept seeing the same pattern: most of my clients already had the vocabulary and the grammar. Their problem wasn't knowledge, it was performance — they overthink, translate in their head, and hesitate, even when they know exactly what they want to say.
I coach through live 1:1 sessions, daily speaking practice, personal feedback and accountability, so you can use the English you already know with more confidence and control, especially under pressure.
