Colin Macleod

English Speaking Coach

I’m an English teacher from the U.K. with more than 20 years of teaching experience.I help intermediate English learners become more confident speakers through real conversation practice.

Turn the English You Know Into Confident Speaking

You don't need another grammar course.You need a system that helps you develop and use your English through regular speaking practice, daily training, and expert feedback.Speak Up is that system.

Speak Up is for you if:

  • You understand a lot of English but struggle to use it when you speak

  • Your mind sometimes goes blank in conversations

  • You translate in your head before you speak

  • You want to express your ideas more clearly and confidently

How Speak Up Works

Speak Up gives you regular opportunities to retrieve, use and develop your English instead of just learning more.Every week, you will:

  • Speak about real topics in live Zoom sessions

  • Train your speaking every day with short activities

  • Receive expert feedback on your speaking

  • Have meaningful conversations with learners around the world

What You Can Expect

If you commit to the system, you'll gradually:

  • Hesitate less when you speak

  • Express your ideas more clearly

  • Translate less in your head

  • Feel more comfortable joining conversations

  • Use more of the English you already know

Start Speaking More

You already know a lot of English.
Now it's time to use it.
