About Me

Linley Bignoux

Hello, I'm Linley — an English teacher from Australia. I help professionals improve their communication and use English clearly and confidently at work.

My Philosophy on Communication

I have studied formally and informally, and I continuously read and write about how humans interact through communication. I believe that communication should be the central part of everything we do—whether in professional or personal contexts.

Certifications & Expertise

I hold English Teaching Certifications in TESOL and TEFL, alongside certifications in Online Teaching Design and Development and IELTS preparation. Formally, I studied Transport & Logistics, Inventory Management, and IT (Development, Design & Technical Support).

Professional Background

I spent over 24 years working in various industries professionally, including Logistics, Inventory Management, and IT. For the vast majority of my career, I worked for two well-known global corporations, giving me unique insight into how professional communication functions in high-pressure, international environments.

Additionally, my background as a Scuba Diving Instructor & First Aid Instructor taught me how to guide learners through supportive teaching strategies in a relaxed, encouraging way.

"I help professionals and people communicate clearly and confidently at work — so communication is clear, structured, and effective in real professional situations in English"

What I Often Hear

  • Meeting Freeze: You have technical knowledge but "freeze" when speaking to management.
  • The Translation Lag: You think in your own language and translate word-for-word.
  • The "Word-Search" Delay: You pause mid-sentence because a specific word feels "stuck."
  • Over-Explaining: You use 50 words to explain something that only needs 10.
  • Polite Conflict Struggle: You worry about sounding too blunt when you disagree.
  • Presentation Anxiety: You feel fine with slides, but afraid of the Q&A session.
  • Small Talk Stagnation: You don't feel "natural" during casual talk before a meeting.
  • The Identity Gap: You feel less intelligent in English than in your own language.
"I know the answer, but I can't find the words fast enough in the meeting."
"I feel like a different, less intelligent person when I speak English."
"I'm an expert in my field, but I feel like a beginner when I explain my logic."
"I spend hours preparing for a 5-minute update because I'm afraid of questions."
"My emails are fine, but I'm terrified of the Q&A after a presentation."
"I worry that I sound rude or aggressive when I try to be direct."
"I stay quiet in meetings even when I have a great idea because of my grammar."
"I dread the first few minutes of the call because I don't know how to make small talk."
