BUSINESS ENGLISH FOR PROFESSIONALS & TEAMS IN THE NETHERLANDS & ONLINE
Personalized Business English for company teams.
Lessons built around the work your team actually does.
I help companies turn "good enough" English into confident, on-the-job English, one weekly class at a time.

Most courses teach generic English. I do the opposite.

I build every lesson around what your team actually does: the emails they send, the calls they take, the clients they serve, and the words their industry uses.
A logistics team learns to run a shipment in English.
A sales team learns to pitch.
Two ways to work together
FOR COMPANIES
Team Training
Weekly group classes tailored to your team and level, on-site around Rotterdam and Amsterdam or online. Every program is quoted to fit.
FOR PROFESSIONALS
1-on-1 Coaching
Private lessons built around your job and your goals, using the language of your career as the material.
WHAT MAKES IT PERSONALIZED
Your business is the cirriculum
Your emails
Real messages your team writes, rewritten clearer and more confident.
Your calls
Practice for the meetings and phone calls they take every week.
Your clients
Role-plays built on the customers and partners they actually serve.
Your industry
The vocabulary your field uses, not a textbook's.
Who I work with

ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm TJ O'Brien.
I'm a native English speaker from the United States, now based in Rotterdam.
Before founding TJ Teaches English, I spent over a decade as a professional foreign language tutor and four years as a high school teacher in Philadelphia, managing full classrooms and writing my own curriculum from scratch.
Today I bring that same personal approach to professionals and company teams across Europe and beyond.
