No stress. No “uhm”. A presentation you will enjoy — and so will your audience.
For managers, team leaders and sales people who need to present in English to an international client, their boss or a conference audience — so that people want to listen.
1-to-1 presentation and public speaking coaching. I use coaching methods, principles of neuroscience and 20+ years of international business in 57 countries. No theory. We train your real presentation.
The result? Better presentation skills in English: you know how to start, how to end and what to do when you get stuck. And you start to enjoy it.
What do you need to handle?
Which of these are you in right now?
Business presentations to a client or partner
You have a great solution. You want the client excited and leaving the room with one thought: “Let's do it.”
You present to your boss or head office
Results, plans, budget. The first thirty seconds decide if they listen. Then come the questions — and you will be ready.
You have 60 seconds for your pitch
Elevator pitch, introducing a project or an idea. Short, clear — and they want to hear more.
You speak at an international conference
An audience that doesn't know you, a short time limit and the feeling that your great work looks better on paper than when you talk about it. We turn it into a TED-style talk people remember.
3 tips and useful phrases for tomorrow
How to start and end a presentation in English
- 01
The start: their problem, not your name
“My name is… and today I will talk about…” is boring for everyone. Start with what the audience gets: “In the next ten minutes, I will show you how to cut delivery time by 20 percent.”
- 02
The end: tell them what happens next
People remember your last sentence the longest. Instead of “That's all, thank you”, finish with a clear step: “Let's agree on the next step by Friday.”
- 03
Stuck: pause, don't panic
Stop, breathe and say it in simpler words. A short pause looks confident. Looking for a word out loud does not.
These are three of dozens of techniques. In your free first session, you test them on your real presentation — and hear the difference right away.
What we work on
Your content is great. Now you need to present it well.
The first 30 seconds
An opening that makes people want to listen. Not “Today I will talk about…”.
Structure and storytelling
What to say first, what to leave out and a story that leads to one clear message people take away.
Voice, pace and pauses
You speak clearly and confidently. A pause instead of “uhm” — and nerves turn into confidence.
Questions from the audience
A quick, calm answer even to a difficult question. No panic, no long explanations.
Improvising
The projector fails, your time gets shorter, someone interrupts. You know what to do.
Nerves under control
Calm instead of stress. You feel confident — and you start to enjoy presenting.

„I don't teach theory. I train you to present — in English, in front of the people who matter to you.“
Why not a native speaker
A native speaker was born into the language. I had to learn it — just like you.
I learned English, German and Spanish from zero. I went through exactly what you feel now: the missing word, the mind that goes blank, the stress before you start and the fear of making a mistake in a presentation.
I took them to the level where I present, negotiate and work internationally — in 57 countries. So I know not only what to say, but also how to get there.

I was invited to present my research to a panel of top American scientists at the Neurological Disorders Summit in Los Angeles. It was a huge opportunity, but I was also scared. So I decided to work with Martin. We got started right away. One of the audience members began to question my research and ask me uncomfortable questions. Instead of panicking, I knew what to do. I used what Martin taught me, kept my cool, and handled the “excavator” with ease. As I was leaving the stage, the conference organizer gave me a thumbs up. 🙂 For someone who was afraid to present her work in English just a few weeks ago, this was an incredible moment. In just four weeks, I not only gained presentation skills, I gained self-confidence.
That morning I found out that my presentation had been unexpectedly moved to the same day. 😂 After training with Martin, I knew where to start. I chose a place where I felt most comfortable and presented for 30 minutes to the management of a company from Sweden. I wasn’t perfect and my voice was shaking, but I was able to use almost everything Martin advised me. Not everything worked perfectly with the audience – they were really demanding – but I didn’t mind at all. It wasn’t perfect, but it was good. And imagine: the man I was most worried about was happy, praised my plans and even laughed at my joke! Thank you so much, Martin. Your advice really helped me just when I needed it the most!
Martin Vítek is NOT an English teacher. Nor is he simply a native speaker you meet for a casual conversation. He offers much more than that. I came to Martin with one main goal: to overcome my fear and communicate naturally in English. I regularly conduct business negotiations in English and several times a year I speak in front of larger audiences. Thanks to Martin, I have clearly improved in both. Martin can step into the role of a customer or business partner, simulate real-life situations and correct the mistakes that matter most. But his greatest value goes beyond English: he helps you develop communication habits you can use anytime, anywhere. Shorter, clearer sentences. Better use of your voice and pauses. And, most importantly, knowing how to recover smoothly when you get stuck. These skills have become so natural that I now use them even when communicating in my native language.
Concerns
What's holding you back?
I get nervous.
Nerves are a normal reaction to pressure. They don't go away if you ignore them. They get smaller when you train the situation — until it feels familiar.
What if I get stuck during my presentation?
We train what you do in exactly that second: pause, use a simpler word, go back to your main point. Anyone can get stuck. The difference is knowing how to get out of it smoothly.
What if I get a question I'm not ready for?
We practise audience questions live, including the difficult ones. You learn to get time to think, answer briefly and come back to your message.
My English is not good enough.
You don't need more words. You need to use the ones you know. We choose key phrases, make long sentences simpler and practise until they sound natural and confident.
My presentation is next week.
A week is enough for a big step forward. We focus only on what decides the result: the start, the key message, the end and the questions.
What if the first session is not for me?
Then it cost you nothing. You still leave with feedback on your presentation and tips you can use right away.
