From Clients

I hired Simon to provide a unique program which he designed. His professional approach and quality of work is excellent. He worked hard to fit my clients’ needs. As a service provider to his clients he regularly exceeds expectations. He is personable and helpful in the process of his delivery of a program and the consulting to develop effectively. I highly recommend using his unique approach for top level business writing and communication.

Working in an international environment, English communication is a necessity. But in a global corporation that heavily relies on e-mail and written reports, good English is a rarity. Simon delivered for us a course on written communication, and taught us the concept of "Plain English." Every member of my team (include those who have English as native language) learned how to better communicate in Plain English. That course was so successful that I recommended the company to provide additional classes for other teams. I strongly recommend Simon's services.

Simon is knowledgeable and passionate about writing. His own writing expertise stands out making him a fantastic communicator. The simple, yet extremely effective approach to writing that Simon teaches will enable you to write so that you are understood, respected and stand out from the crowd. Simon is professional and a true pleasure to work with. As a communications coach, I often recommend Simon to my clients who are looking to take their written communication skills to a truly professional level. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a course provider or associate.

I’m sure you have completed all tasks that we assigned to you. However, you’ve delivered much more. You not only pointed out what my errors and weakness are, but also guided me how to avoid them in future. Your suggestions on improving speaking and writing by listening and reading are quite useful and practical. I can see the progress that I’ve made following your valuable suggestions. What impressed me most is the technique you teach me to restructure my writings and make them more readable, more logical, more concise and more polite.

The good news is, since I taken the class, “simplicity” is in my mind whenever I write. I ask myself “is this what you want to tell the reader?” every time I am writing. If it not, I rewrite the entire sentence. Your class is very helpful. Thank you. -- Pauline
