À propos de Max Graham
ABOUT ME
I’m the holder of a Bachelor's degree from King's College London, and a higher degree from City University London. I was then trained at the BBC, where I developed skills in phonetics and expression. I've taught at university level and within major institutions in London. I have broad artistic and business experience, including service in developing countries. I worked for many years in leadership and management, and was part of senior teams including responsibility for industry negotiations at government level. Since relocating to Geneva, I have had the pleasure of working with staff in numerous international organisations and in banking. Testimonials on my teaching skills are available.

I am passionate about helping people at all levels to achieve their work and personal goals.
My tuition and coaching are student-focussed. I have in-depth experience across broad fields of work and life activities, and I believe that you can achieve anything you want.
My principle is, if you enjoy a class, you will learn more!
***************************************************
HOW DO I WORK?
I begin with a detailed assessment of your abilities and objectives. Most important is an assessment of your speaking. This can reveal tiny details that can change so much. Perhaps you have certain phonemes that are giving you trouble. These are identified and fixed. And finally the aim is that you speak well - but in a relaxed, natural way, and in all situations.
***************************************************
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING - for work, pleasure, qualifications
Firstly, I will think about what sort of learner you are. Then I will propose, and agree with you, a personalised learning plan. I have taken people from speaking not one word of English, to speaking and writing easily. Your progress will be reviewed at regular intervals, and you will see where you are on the road to your goal. At each stage, the plan is checked and reviewed to make sure it’s delivering what you need. If you have a big job interview, for example, or an event requiring English, the course can be adjusted to support you. My courses are strongly structured; reliable; serious; impactful. I never forget that you are investing time and money! I make sure you see a great return on that investment. Your course serves you, not the other way around.
***************************************************
---- CONTENT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING COURSES ----
What level are you? What’s your goal? What do you need your English for? Do you need concentration on
- grammar?
- pronunciation?
- syntax?
- flow?
- vocabulary?
- technical phraseology?
- idiom?
- confidence?
The right solution is found to match your needs. You will have certain blockages - everyone does! These are identified and cleared away. Techniques (verbal and written) are used to match your style of learning.
Sessions include advanced conversation practice that’s sector-specific.
In other words, it includes terminology and concepts exactly based on your field of work/study. The conversations are designed so that you learn how to think in high level English. It includes work and non-work interests. The subjects are varied, diverse, always stimulating. I am used to working in the fields of international organisations, banking, medicine, law.
I am able to draw on my range of specialist interests.
For example in business. We can look at team-working, leadership, negotiation, entrepreneurialism, change management, personal performance, and overcoming challenges on the road to success. Not to mention news/current affairs and banking/financial markets. I keep up-to-date with business and financial news.
Or the world of arts. Mythology and history? Cinema, television, literature, music lyrics, poetry? Even advanced studies of Shakespeare?
And then there’s great orators of the past and present.
What’s best for you, is what’s best for us.
TEXT WORK
We use both texts you supply and texts I supply. And of course this applies to the learning of written and spoken English.
PRONUNCIATION
My method will enable you to overcome difficulties and speak with ease. And of course, the English you will end up with is British English.
OTHER TECHNIQUES
Debate practice, targeted phonetic work, idioms and proverbs, vocabulary memorisation techniques, online teaching aids, books / DVDs / internet resources, and much more.
Everything is focussed on you achieving your goals and wishes.
---- TRAINING IN ENGLISH TO GAIN QUALIFICATIONS ----
I can train you in preparation for the full range of examining bodies including GMAT and internal UN English exams, and for all the levels of the IELTS.
A2 Key (KET) - Key English Test (A2)
B1 Preliminary (PET) - Preliminary English Test (B1)
B2 First (FCE) - First Certificate in English (B2)
C1 Advanced (CAE) - Certificate of Advanced English (C1)
C2 Proficiency (CPE) - Certificate of Proficiency in English (C2)
I particularly specialise in BEC - the Business English Certificates (B1, B2, C1).
***************************************************
---- PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR CONFERENCES,
EVENTS AND MEETINGS ----
It’s a challenge for everyone. But tried and tested techniques can help anyone to succeed. It really works! What are your key areas to improve?
- confidence?
- impact and memorability?
- editing and logical structure?
- good use of time?
- body language?
- memory?
- use of presentation aids?
- mind going blank?
I have trained people at the level of the UN Security Council in New York. I’ve helped someone make a father of the bride speech in a foreign language! I can make sure you know exactly what tools can work for you. Then I help you to learn them and apply them. You’ll notice the difference, and so will your audience.
***************************************************
MEDIA TRAINING
These days, many of us have to speak to camera, or to microphone, or for the press. I am very experienced in the tools that can enable you to shine.
CAREER ADVANCEMENT
How do you show your potential? What do you really want? What are your true strengths? And current weaknesses? I have extensive experience as a recruitment interviewer for big organisations.
- interview skills
- interview preparation
- CV
- cover letter
- academic / training application
Training includes roleplay and mock interviews.
SALES PITCHES
To one extent or another, everyone’s life requires the ability to sell - sell your idea for a project, sell yourself in a job interview, sell an idea to your boss, sell your vision to your team. At its heart, it’s about genuineness, communication, belief, and complete preparation. I know - I have founded, and led to success, dozens of projects and enterprises. And known the taste of failure! We can look at:
- knowing and understanding your target audience
- having a genuine connection with your clients, your superiors. your colleagues
- exact, easy communication
- clear, effective materials
- communicating across nationalities
BUSINESS COACHING
- how to get through your glass ceiling
- how to structure a report
- brainstorming exercises
- English words and phrases in the business news
- current terminology in your sector and how to use it
- how to distinguish between buzzwords and jargon
STUDENTS
I provide assistance to undergraduates and postgraduates in preparation of reports and applications, and in gaining interview success. I also help students pre-university, and with university and MBA admission files. Many people have very high intellectual ability, but haven’t yet learned how to communicate it! This can be overcome. My courses are designed to fit academic and holiday timetables.
MEMORY TRAINING
This is an invaluable tool for meetings and interviews. It’s not just for when you have to make a presentation! It gives confidence and increases your ability to communicate.
---- OTHER SERVICES ----
- teleconferencing skills (moderator / participant)
- powerpoint, scriptwriting
- team leadership skills
- how to communicate more effectively on the telephone
- writing skills (presentations, press releases, letters)
- copy editing for communications officers
- how to be more organised
- how to deal with procrastination
- how to develop self discipline
- better networking skills
***************************************************
AND FINALLY
My lessons are friendly, funny, diverse, relevant, challenging, stimulating, dynamic, interactive and varied. I am committed to being approachable even out of sessions, and am always ready to help with special projects when you need me.
I’m ready to answer any question you may have. I warmly invite you to get in touch.
Graham Max

---- TESTIMONIALS ----
5 STARS
I had the chance to find the telephone number of Max about two years ago and I quickly understood that he was the man I needed. In fact, I was not looking for a "common" English teacher. My requirement was to have a speech coach able to bring me to an higher level of proficiency in the use of English in public speaking. Thanks to his very deep knowledge of business vocabulary and his great listening skills, Max brought me the key details in terms of vocabulary and diction that allowed me to face my English speeches, conferences and trainings in a much more comfortable way. In addition to his proficiency, Max is also a very nice person and I consider him a friend as well as a coach. I highly recommend Max to anybody who needs to feel more comfortable and professional in the use of English. Thank you, Max, for your precious help!

I highly recommend. Max was a beautiful meeting for me, both in terms of teaching and human relations. Thanks to the extent of his knowledge, the courses were always very interesting and diversified with a high level of requirement. He gives keys for a correct and precise diction in order to be understood distinctly by the natives. Moreover he has always been very kind to me despite my difficulties. He always knew how to adapt himself with calm, tolerance and understanding, always with a kind word to encourage. He was really the person I needed. I am delighted. Thank you very much, Max.

Parfait ! I work in English sales and I called on Max to work on my eloquence and my texts for presentations.
Today I recommend Max for his experience, his ability to motivate his students and his ability to listen.
Max first analysed my weak and strong points. We agreed on a program together and today we are correcting bad habits through new vocabulary, grammar and coaching for presentations.
Max also provides homework.
Today I can see the positive impact of our lessons on my job and I am very grateful for that.- Réponse de Max Graham : 09/2024

Recommandations
Les recommandations proviennent des proches et des connaissances de ce professeur d'Expression orale - anglais.
Max est un excellent professeur. Il a aidé mon fils à progresser en anglais et à réussir le IELTS. Il est patient, bien organisé et structurant. Je le recommande à qui veut avancer en anglais.
After trying with many teachers, I recommend Max without hesitation. Max is much more than just a teacher: he is excellent in the subject (with foolproof techniques) and knows how to adapt to all situations. He doesn't lack creativity in finding the most suitable learning method for his student. His listening skills, kindness, and infectious joy make him a friend. Thank you for everything, Max; I was very lucky to cross your path!
I only had a few weeks to achieve my goal and Max really custom-made our lessons according to my level and my needs. His method and explanations were very clear too.
It was always a pleasure to have lessons with him as I had lots of fun doing the exercises he gave me!!
Max was also extremely patient and encouraging with me. (especially regarding my pronunciation issues)
I have made more progress with him than in all my school years, so I can only recommend him to anyone who needs to gain more confidence in talking English!!
I will definitely ask him for more help and guidance in the future. My only regret is to not have had him as a teacher earlier in my school days.
Thanks again Max :)I work in English sales and I called on Max to work on my eloquence and my texts for presentations.
