Interview Coaching
You are not being tested on your English. You are being tested on whether they can picture you in the role.
One-to-one interview coaching on Zoom for professionals who will be interviewed in English. We rehearse the real questions, build answers that hold up under pressure, and take the panic out of the moments you cannot script.
A few short questions about the role you are chasing and where English gets difficult. It takes about three minutes, costs nothing, and I read every answer myself and reply within 48 hours with a plan built for your interview.
“Most interviews are not lost on grammar. They are lost in the four seconds of silence after a question you did not expect.”
Your English is probably better than your interview.
Most people I coach can hold a comfortable conversation in English. Then the interview starts, the pressure arrives, and the same three things go wrong every time.
The answer has no shape
You know the story. It comes out in the wrong order, runs three minutes long, and the panel loses the point somewhere in the middle. Structure is a skill, and it is learnable in an afternoon.
The unexpected question freezes you
You prepared for ten questions and they asked the eleventh. What you need is not more memorised answers — it is a way to buy three seconds and build an answer out loud.
You undersell what you have done
Modesty reads as inexperience across a video call. There is a way to state your achievements plainly that sounds confident in English without sounding arrogant in any culture.
Six things, rehearsed until they are yours.
Every session is built around your actual role, your actual CV, and the questions that panel is most likely to ask you.
The opening ninety seconds
“Tell me about yourself.” The most predictable question in every interview, and the one most people improvise. We build yours properly.
Structured answers
A repeatable shape for behavioural questions, so any “tell me about a time when…” has a beginning, a result, and an end you control.
Composure under pressure
What to say while you think. How to ask for a question to be repeated without losing authority. How to recover from a bad answer mid-sentence.
The difficult questions
Salary, gaps in your CV, why you left, your weaknesses, and the question you are quietly dreading. We rehearse that one first.
The small talk either side
The two minutes before and after are where rapport is won or lost. They are also the part nobody prepares. My whole practice is built on this.
Your questions for them
“Do you have any questions for us?” is the last impression you leave. Three good ones, tailored to that company, land harder than any answer you gave.
The same experience. Two very different answers.
This is roughly what a session looks like: we take what you already said, and we find the version that lands. Question — “Tell me about a time you handled a difficult client.”
“Yes, so, in my previous company we had many difficult clients, actually it was quite common, and there was one client who was very angry about the delivery time, and I think the problem was maybe from the logistics team, not really my responsibility, but anyway I tried my best to explain to him and finally it was okay I think.”
Hedged, unstructured, blames another team, and ends on “I think” — the panel hears uncertainty, not competence.
“One of our largest accounts was three weeks late on delivery and the client escalated to my director. I took ownership of the communication, gave him a revised schedule within 24 hours, and set a weekly call until we delivered. We shipped on the revised date, and he renewed the following year.”
Same story. Situation, action, result. Ownership instead of blame, a number instead of a feeling, and it ends on the outcome.
The Interview Sprint.
One hour, live on Zoom, one-to-one. No group classes, no recordings of someone else’s lesson. Prepared before you arrive, and written up after you leave.
You send the job advertisement and your CV. I prepare the questions that panel is most likely to ask, so the hour is spent rehearsing rather than explaining.
A full mock interview, then we go back through it. We rebuild the weak answers together, out loud, until you can say them without reading.
A written summary within 48 hours: your strongest answers in the words you actually used, the two habits to drop, and what to rehearse before the day.
Sessions run Saturdays and Sundays, 10:00 to 15:00 Korean time. That is five slots a day, and interview dates rarely move — if yours is close, take the Readiness Check today rather than at the weekend.
Twenty years on the other side of that table.
I have spent nearly two decades coaching English in Korea — senior executives and managers at leading Korean chaebols, corporate training for Hyundai and Kia, and twelve years as Assistant Professor at Soonchunhyang University. I have prepared people for the interviews that changed their careers, and sat on the panels that decided them.
That matters for one reason: I can tell you not only whether your English was correct, but whether the answer would have worked.

The practical questions.
My interview is in four days. Is that too late?
No. Four days is enough to fix structure, rehearse the opening, and prepare the three questions you dread. Take the Readiness Check now and say the date in your answer — urgent cases go to the front of the queue.
My English is not strong enough yet. Should I wait?
That is the most common reason people give for not preparing, and it is backwards. Interview performance improves faster than general fluency, because it is a smaller and more specific skill. We work with the English you have today.
What do I need to prepare?
The job advertisement and your CV, sent before the session. Nothing else. If you do not have a specific role yet, we use a realistic one for your field.
Is it recorded?
Only if you ask for it in writing beforehand. Some people find watching themselves back the single most useful part; others find it makes them self-conscious. Your choice, and the default is no.
What does it cost?
Price and session length are confirmed after the Readiness Check, once I know what you actually need. There is no charge and no obligation for the check itself.
Walk in knowing what you are going to say.
The interview is a fixed date. The preparation is the only part still in your hands.
- Answer a few short questions about the role and where English gets hard — about three minutes.
- I read your answers myself and build the session around your interview.
- You hear back within 48 hours with the plan, the available times and the price.
