Client Reviews"It’s my pleasure to do a professional recommendation for Madeleine Hill. I have found that over my years in the maritime industry as both a Master Mariner and Industry Leader, I have on many occasions utilised the training I received under Madeleine. Public speaking is part of my role and I found drawing on drama classes I attended absolutely essential, this has included projection of my voice, pronouncing words and knowing when to highlight the issues. I have used this training to great success with being called on many occasions to give keynote speeches. In my time as Captain of cruise liners I have on many occasion used the body language and voice training I received under Madeleine to emphasis issues of importance and to ensure confidence of my crew and passengers. I fully recommend the training that’s done by Madeleine and would suggest anyone in a leadership role to enrol" - Captain Lee Clarke, Feb 2021 “This was truly a psychological turning point for me…The power of effective communication is enormous!

During the last weeks you had the challenging task to prepare three struggling students for a lottery also known as CAE Exam. Surely it was not always easy and certainly you needed a lot of energy to explain the incomprehensible rules of grammar. Our gift is an expression of our gratitude for your patience, your engagement and the interesting discussions we had. We will always remember these lessons, surely they will have a long-term effect! Thank you so much for everything and we wish you all the best for your future!" CAE Class - English Tutoring
