About Sara Jenkins English

Sara Jenkins English specialises in training international business professionals. My mission is to empower non-native English speakers to communicate effectively in the global business environment.

I’ve been teaching English to speakers of English as a second language for over 25 years. I understand the challenges for each individual learner, creating and delivering bespoke programmes, ultimately helping learners achieve their goals for business and personal growth.

I know the world of learning the English language for international business.

I’m a fully qualified Business English language trainer with the English UK CIBET (Certificate of International Business English Training), as well as the University of Cambridge CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults).

My 25+ years of training experience include one year in France, one year in Japan on the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme, and one year at a Business English training centre in London.

My unique combination of training, linguistic, business and cultural skills, experience and knowledge make me stand out from other trainers.

As a native English speaker, I have learnt, to varying degrees, four different languages myself. I gained a BA Joint Honours degree in French and German from the University of Exeter. I achieved a GCSE Grade A in Spanish when at school, just for fun. Finally, I love trying to speak - and am still studying – Japanese.

Before becoming a Business English trainer, I spent over six years in the commercial world, including with Diageo. My final role was as Product Marketing Manager for Pret A Manger in London. I hold the Advanced Certificate in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketers.

I love experiencing different cultures and sharing this knowledge with my learners. This interest was well underway aged 13, when I first represented Great Britain at tennis. Today, I enjoy being an active member of the International Club of GB and an Honorary member of the International Club of Japan.

What I love the most though is seeing my learners progress, achieve their goals, and become more successful, more fulfilled and overall happier, as a result of their new and improved English. From feeling dissatisfied with their level of English, and that it is holding them back at work, I help my learners find a way to move forward in as an efficient and interesting – even fun – way as possible.
