What my students say.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Robert as my English coach, and the experience was truly transformative. His coaching techniques helped me unlock my full potential in English—far beyond grammar and vocabulary. Before working with Robert, I had studied English for over 30 years. I had already passed the TOEIC (with a high score), TOEFL, and IELTS. I had also worked in English-speaking environments (albeit briefly) and had been reading everything from novels to scientific journals in English for over a decade. However, despite all that, I often struggled during high-stakes situations—especially job interviews for roles I was highly motivated to get. In those moments, I would lose my fluency and start searching for words, as my thoughts would rush in French (my first language), rather than in English. Robert helped me overcome that barrier. Not only did he help me correct the minor errors I still made occasionally, but more importantly, he helped me structure my thoughts more effectively in English. He guided me in building the confidence needed to relax, focus on clarity, and truly connect with my audience—rather than striving for perfect language at the expense of communicating my ideas. What stood out most in working with Robert was his empathy, curiosity, and ability to connect across fields very different from his own. His unique perspective—as someone with an architectural background—allowed him to “design” conversations with the same elegance and logic as a well-built structure. He helped me organize my speech in English in a way that felt natural, intentional, and impactful. I highly recommend Robert’s services to anyone looking to elevate their English communication skills, especially in professional or high-pressure contexts.

  • ‘Due to the internationalisation of our business and a high proportion of non-native speaker employees, I would like to improve my English language skills. I have found more than the perfect coach in Robert. For a wide variety of tasks, whether a presentation in Shanghai, a large team meeting, a European trade fair or simply small talk for a holiday. In Robert, I have not only found a highly committed language trainer, but his skills go far beyond that. Working together on presentations, working out cultural differences, defining team messages or improving daily English, Robert brings a high level of expertise to the table. Due to travel, online lessons were an integral part of our training right from the start, as was an online tool for vocabulary and phrases. These skills alone are outstanding, but they are surpassed by Robert's personality. It's hard to describe, it's not just the typical British values and customs, it's more the high level of empathy that quickly makes Robert a friend. Do I really need to mention that I now speak English much better and prefer it?’

    Tomas Zelic - COO at Zeppelin Lab GmbH

  • ‘Half of successful teaching is psychology, creating a relaxed environment to learn, speak and improve English without pressure. The other half is charming leadership and the ability to convey language knowledge in an understandable and entertaining way. Robert is able to do both in the best possible way. I also benefit from his broad cultural knowledge, which makes every lesson exciting in terms of content. I can only recommend lessons with Robert.’

    S.H. - Cultural manager

  • ‘After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally found what I was looking for in an exciting, informative and very effective English course. If you want to improve your communication skills quickly, I can definitely recommend Robert's lessons.’

    A.L. - IT specialist / Computer scientist

  • ‘The lessons fly by with Robert. An interesting topic is always found quickly and you get better and more confident along the way. I can only recommend English with Robert.’

    H.K. - Manager, Automotive industry

  • ‘I've been learning with Robert for over three years. He immediately understood that I wanted to improve and expand my language skills in particular. We had a lot of interesting conversations in which he made sure that I did most of the talking. At the same time, he pointed out mistakes and gave me lots of helpful tips for better and more natural communication. If you want to improve your English in a relaxed atmosphere with an even-tempered teacher, Robert is the right choice.’

    M.W. - Secretary

  • ‘We started taking English lessons with Robert almost two years ago with our team of four. Robert comes to our office and teaches us the specialised language required for our construction business. Robert organises the lessons in a varied and entertaining way. The different language levels in our team are also no problem in the lessons. Each of us has been able to advance our English knowledge and achieve personal success. We value Robert as a patient teacher and can recommend him one hundred per cent.’

    Dana Franz - Office Manager at Tecton Engineering GmbH

  • ‘Robert's teaching is very flexible and specialised. This is very important for us as an international company. The composition of our teams is constantly changing, as are the teams' locations. Robert responds excellently to this. In addition to his specialist work for us, he also takes care of the management of our employees' invitations. We benefit from Robert's expertise in the field of real estate in the UK. The translation of specialist terms can only be done with the specialist knowledge of building design, consulting and construction. In the open discussion format that Robert practises at a high level, we learn from each other's expertise. We learn about the construction industry in the UK and he learns about the construction industry in Germany.’

    Steffen Kühn - Branch Manager Berlin and Manager for Real Estate at ISG Germany

  • ‘Four years ago, as our clientele in the trade fair construction and event sector was becoming increasingly international, we came up with the idea of offering a business English course for our employees. In our search for a teacher who could also teach us the necessary technical terms, we came across Robert Nisbet. Since then, we have had one group for our technical design team and a second for project management, where we are increasingly developing the most common - and often tricky - dialogue situations with our customers through role play. Our customer communication has improved significantly and we are now in our ‘3rd school year’ and, thanks to Robert, are still finding exciting topics.’
