The English Masterclass
Serious English for Serious Success
Welcome to The English Masterclass.
I’m Sebastian Perkes, a Business English coach based in Vienna.
Having grown up bilingual, I work with executives, entrepreneurs, politicians and professionals who want to express themselves clearly in English, without sounding forced or like they’ve stepped out of a textbook.
The focus is on practice. No standard phrases, no “Business English from a coursebook”, just real conversations, real situations and real progress!
I don’t work as a traditional teacher, but more as a sparring partner. Someone who listens closely, asks the right questions, and gives honest feedback, so you can find your own voice in English.
Because in the end, it’s not about sounding perfect. It’s about sounding authentic, clear, and convincing. And that’s what we work on, with clear structure, targeted feedback, and absolute discretion.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Tailor-made English/Business English courses? Then Sebastian Perkes is the perfect choice. Sebastian is a very empathetic teacher who takes plenty of time to find an individual solution for his students. I was able to learn a great deal in just a few English lessons and can optimally apply this knowledge in my job as an industrial broker.

Sebastian is truly one of the best English teachers I've ever had. He listens, addresses my needs, and helps me precisely where I have weaknesses. He's always in a good mood and presents the material brilliantly. The content is always current and varied, with just the right mix of difficulty levels. He manages to make even dry grammar topics interesting and understandable. The lessons never feel like a chore, but rather like an engaging conversation. We've been working together for almost two years now, and I'm incredibly happy with my decision. I can absolutely recommend him!
