English coaching for professionals, executives & motivated learners in Latin America.
I’m Zoe — a Londoner living in Guatemala, a certified ESL coach, and the founder of English by Zoe. I originally studied biology and animal behavior (fun fact! I can train a lion — and yes, that helps me train humans too). I’ve spent the last 5 years helping adults not just learn English, but use it — with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.
At English by Zoe, we focus on real-life English for real professionals. Whether you’re preparing for a high-stakes meeting, re-entering the job market, or simply tired of feeling held back by your English — we’re here for you.
My classes are personal, empowering, and creative. Together with my team of 8 native-speaking teachers — many with master’s degrees in education — we offer high-end, fully personalized coaching built around your goals, your interests, and your industry. No grammar drills. No boring textbooks. Just real conversations and meaningful progress.
The best part of my job? When a student tells me they finally spoke up in a meeting… and didn’t feel afraid.
Because at English by Zoe, it’s not about perfection — it’s about confidence.
