About Pierre Austin
Business English Coaching
& Engaging Educational Content
Welcome! My name is Pierre, a digital educator and content creator. I dedicate myself to enhancing professional opportunities by nurturing confident English speakers. Guiding professionals on their language learning journey is a passion of mine. I view English not just as a language but as a gateway to the world's vast cultures and professional possibilities. To me, language learning is crucial for both personal and professional growth.
My Story
Having moved to Spain over eight years ago, I've experienced firsthand the challenges and joys of learning a new language. Starting from scratch, I immersed myself in the Spanish language and culture. This journey didn't just open my heart to cultural exploration but also sparked a deep love for travel and discovery.
This personal adventure taught me the power of connecting with others in their native language. It's about more than words—it's about building connections, understanding different cultures, and unlocking professional opportunities that were once beyond reach. I bring this empathetic understanding to every coaching session, striving to make your learning experience not just successful but truly transformative.
Being creative at heart, I naturally weave creativity into my communication coaching. Whether it's writing, designing graphics, producing videos, or engaging with audiences on social media, creating content that educators and learners find insightful fills me with joy.
With my background in teaching and a creative drive for impact, my aim is to expand my audience, enhance my engagement with valuable content, and amplify my influence in the language learning and teaching community.
My
Background
Hailing from San Francisco, California, I've called Spain my home for nearly ten years—a journey that began with a leap towards new adventures and horizons. What once felt foreign has now become familiar; immersing myself in the Spanish language and culture has woven the fabric of this country into my identity, enriching my soul through my travels and encounters.
This profound experience of learning a new language has not only broadened my horizons but has also fortified my resilience. The blessings and benefits that have stemmed from this journey are immeasurable, fueling my desire to guide others on their own paths to language proficiency. My mission extends beyond helping learners articulate their thoughts and understand the subtleties of English; I aim to bridge connections and foster deep, cultural bonds through the power of language.
It's this passion for language learning and its transformative power that drives me to support my students through their challenges and towards their successes. My goal is for them to not only communicate effectively and grasp the nuances of English but to also form meaningful connections and immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of cultures associated with the English language.
My Method
My teaching method is built on the foundation of personal growth and overcoming barriers. First, I aim to understand how my students and clients use English and in what context.
Then, I seek to grasp their challenges and goals related to English. Next, I set clear goals and strategies within realistic time periods.
In class, I believe in conversation, in-depth questions, constant corrections, 'repeat after me' exercises, and focused activities to elicit errors and isolate misunderstandings.
I also focus on identifying mental blocks and negative attitudes that may hinder learning and performance ability, employing therapeutic techniques and tailored coaching to break these down.
My goal is not just to teach English but to inspire a deep and lasting confidence in using the language, ensuring my students not only improve their skills but also enjoy the journey of learning.
When it comes to the business side of things, I want to teach my clients how to express themselves concisely and to comprehend clearly. I aim to foster improvement and teach them how to engage in self-learning.
Lastly, I do not want English to get in the way of their performance or potential. I work hard to improve their fluency and speaking confidence through teaching and coaching tailored to match their specific learning and professional needs.
My Interest
When I'm not teaching, I devote much of my time to creative pursuits. I am an aspiring professional photographer and video producer. Outside of the classroom, I study graphic design and digital marketing. I am always eager to learn more about business, enhance my technical skills, and lay the foundation for my next professional project.
I also love reading. However, since the arrival of my son a year ago, I haven't had much time for book reading. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in a captivating story or an informative nonfiction book. Additionally, I have a passion for music and cooking!— Quote Source
