I’m Jeffrey Spencer, a former global marketing executive turned business English teacher, executive coach, and leadership communication trainer.

I’ve led major marketing teams at some of the world’s most respected companies—including Pepsi, Citigroup, Barclays, and JPMorgan Chase. Today, I bring that real-world expertise into every lesson I teach.

My journey took a turn when I began volunteering English lessons to Buddhist monks in Nepal. That experience sparked a passion that led me to earn my Cambridge CELTA certification and teach English and Business English across Asia— Tokyo, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

I’ve worked with executives, rising professionals, and entrepreneurs, helping them master:

The Language of Leadership

High-impact Presentations

Strategic Communication & Negotiation

Business Writing with Clarity and Confidence

As the founder of Women Talk Business in Hong Kong, I designed leadership programs to help international companies develop high-potential women through business skills and communication training.

What makes my approach unique?

✅ A proven curriculum developed from real boardroom experience
✅ Deep understanding of cross-cultural communication in global business
✅ Customized coaching focused on your goals—career advancement, fluency, confidence

If you're ready to elevate your Business English and master the language of global leadership, let’s talk. I’m here to help you speak with purpose, lead with confidence, and succeed on the world stage

Excellent tutor

Jeffrey has been helping me improve my knowledge of phrasal verbs, idioms and common expressions. His tutoring is building my confidence and I highly recommend his work. Being being able to fluently sustain a conversation in English is of crucial importance for anyone living in the US. Improving communication skills is a key to success in every aspect of life and I'm taking significant steps in that direction thanks to his guidance.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Jeffery listened and understood what want to accomplish. I wanted the speech to be mine. He collected all pertinent information and and helped me write it exactly the way I write it. He helped me organize my thoughts and find correct words to construct to speech. Olindi has unique qualities and talents which he was able to present eloquently.

Excellent teacher!!!

I am really happy with what we’ve achieved in the past three classes. Started from an essay which didn’t answer questions to one essay that has little grammar errors and structural complete. I think Jeffery is very professional in tutoring and knows well how to help student success!
