Kevin O’Donnell

Most of my current clients are Chinese and French Nationals who have a critical need to polish their English communication skills. Executives and serious advanced students require English communications skills that are sophisticated and in line with their international commitments.

“I empathize (with my clients). Expectations are very high, and the pressures are real. Being able to clearly express oneself to a global audience in English has become an important factor in being recognized as an International Leader. These men and women represent China on the world stage. Being able to express complex ideas comfortably with their peers cannot be underestimated. ”

Many clients are able to function well with written documents; their comprehension is usually well developed. The challenge many face is presenting to a group of International Peers.

My clients are intelligent, educated people. My approach is to engage them in an active exchange of ideas, in which world events and the global corporate environment are analyzed. These exchanges can range over history/possible outcomes/risks/the world debate and positions. They are adapted to clients’ areas of interest and their drive to express ideas,,, in English.
