The Real Problem

It's not that you don't know English. It's that you freeze when it counts.

Most of our clients can already read, write and understand English at a high level. The gap shows up live: in a meeting, a presentation, a negotiation or an unscripted question, when there's no time to translate, plan or self-edit. That's not a knowledge problem. It's a performance problem, and it has to be trained like one.

  • Executives, founders, entrepreneurs and senior professionals who present, negotiate or lead in English
  • B2+ professionals who already understand and can communicate in English but hesitate, translate in their head, or lose confidence live
  • People preparing for high-stakes moments: leadership meetings, client pitches, interviews, public speaking

Your English is already strong. Not a fit if you're a complete beginner looking for grammar or vocabulary lessons.

About the assessment

Progress is tracked using the Fluency Code Performance Assessment: each client rates their own speaking at the start of the programme, then again after 12 weeks, across key speaking-performance areas: Fluency (how naturally you speak without pausing to translate or search for words), Confidence (how composed you sound under pressure), Clarity (how clearly your ideas come across), and, where relevant, Speed of response (how quickly you can respond in unscripted moments).

Scores are self-assessed by the client, not graded by David or an outside test. This isn't a standardised or scientific test — it's a consistent way to track how a client's own sense of their speaking changes over time, and you can hear that same progress for yourself in their video testimonials.

About Dave

Why I created The Fluency Code

David De'Ath, Founder of The Fluency Code
David De'Ath
Founder of The Fluency Code · British speaking-performance coach

I work with CEOs, executives and entrepreneurs who already speak English but don't always sound like themselves when they do. I spent years teaching English in China, and I kept seeing the same thing over and over. Most of my clients already had the vocabulary and the grammar. The problem was never knowledge. It was performance. They'd overthink, translate in their head, and hesitate, even when they knew exactly what they wanted to say.

I coach through live 1:1 sessions, daily speaking practice, personal feedback and accountability, so you can use the English you already know with more confidence and control, especially when it matters most.

The Fluency Code Method

The Fluency Code Coaching Roadmap

Every client moves through the same four-stage method, whatever package you're on: build the automatic fluency to stop overthinking and freezing, master clear communication, develop the presence to communicate with impact under pressure, then prove it by performing when it matters most.

01

Build Automatic Fluency

Stop overthinking, translating in your head and freezing when you speak.

02

Master Communication

Structure your ideas clearly, tell better stories, and communicate with authority in professional settings.

03

Communicate With Impact

Develop executive presence and the ability to persuade and hold your ground under pressure.

04

Perform When It Matters

Think on your feet under real pressure, then prove it in a final recorded performance review.

On The 84-Day System, our flagship programme, this roadmap plays out across 12 structured weeks with built-in checkpoints. Other packages follow the same method on a different timeline — exact session count, duration and support are confirmed together on your consultation call.
