Book Your $6 Introductory SessionWhy Portuguese Professionals Choose iTalkTerms
Portugal has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. Lisbon and Porto have emerged as major European hubs for technology, startups, and international investment — most visibly illustrated by Web Summit choosing Lisbon as its permanent home. At the same time, Portugal’s tourism sector, its real estate market attracting international buyers, and its strong trade connections make business English an increasingly essential skill for professionals across a wide range of industries.
Portugal’s unique position — connected to Brazil, Portuguese-speaking Africa, and the wider Lusophone world, yet operating within the European Union and attracting significant Anglo-American investment and attention — means that English is the critical bridge language. It is what connects Portuguese professionals to the global markets, investors, and partners that drive growth.
iTalkTerms coaches are all native English speakers who work with you on the specific language and communication skills your industry demands. Whether you are pitching to a US venture capital firm, hosting international clients, or presenting at a European tech conference, we prepare you to perform with confidence.
What We Help You With
Our coaches specialise in the real business situations you actually face:
- Investor presentations and startup pitch coaching in English
- Communicating with international real estate buyers and investors
- Tech and SaaS product discussions with international clients
- Presenting at European conferences and industry summits
- Professional business writing — emails, proposals, and reports
- Client-facing English in tourism and hospitality management

Native English Coaches — A Real Advantage
All iTalkTerms coaches are native English speakers. For Portuguese professionals whose key international relationships are with British, American, or Northern European counterparts, working with a native speaker is the most effective preparation available. You absorb the natural tone, register, and expression of business English as it is genuinely used — not a translated or textbook approximation, but the real language of international commerce and investment.
Portugal’s growing reputation as a destination for international tech talent and investment means that the stakes around English communication have risen. Whether you are closing a deal with a foreign investor, leading a product demo for an international client, or networking at Web Summit, the quality of your business English reflects directly on your professionalism and your organisation. Our coaching closes the gap between good English and truly effective business communication.

Flexible Coaching That Fits Your Schedule
All sessions take place online, so you can work with your native English coach from anywhere in Portugal — whether you are based in Lisbon, Porto, or elsewhere in the country. Each session is 45 minutes and scheduled entirely around your availability, with no fixed timetable or long-term commitment. For professionals with busy and variable schedules, this flexibility is essential.
Many of our Portuguese clients increase the frequency of their sessions ahead of significant professional events — investor meetings, international conferences, client visits, or major presentations. Between those peaks, a regular lighter schedule maintains and builds on progress. The model is entirely in your hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
I work in the tech sector and deal with international clients daily. What will coaching add?
Even for professionals who use English regularly, there is a significant difference between functional communication and the kind of precise, confident business English that builds real credibility with international clients and investors. Coaching sharpens the specific language of your industry, improves how you handle complex or unexpected conversations, and gives you the fluency and tone that conveys genuine expertise — not just familiarity with English.
I need to present at Web Summit or a similar international tech event. Can you help?
Yes. Conference and stage presentation coaching is something we do regularly. We work on your delivery, structure, clarity, and the specific vocabulary of your field. We also prepare you for Q&A sessions, investor follow-up conversations, and the informal networking discussions that often matter just as much as the formal presentation itself.
I work in real estate with international property buyers. Can sessions be tailored to that?
Absolutely. Real estate professionals in Portugal increasingly work with buyers and investors from the UK, US, Northern Europe, and beyond. We can focus sessions on the language of property transactions, investment discussions, due diligence conversations, and client relationship management — all in the context of the Portuguese market and its international appeal.
What does the $6 introductory session involve?
The introductory session is a full coaching session at a reduced first-time price. You will meet your native English coach, discuss your professional context and goals, and begin coaching immediately. There is no consultation phase or intake process — you are working on your business English from the very first session.
Can a startup or company book sessions for multiple team members?
Yes. We offer corporate packages for teams of 3 or more. Teams of 3 or more receive free access to all iTalkTerms online course materials at no extra cost. Teams of 10 or more also receive a 10% discount per session per person. For Portuguese startups and companies with international-facing teams, this is a practical and cost-effective way to invest in communication quality across the organisation.
