American-Style English Speaking Coach Needed

I’m looking for an English speaking coach to help me improve my spoken English for real business and professional situations. I especially want to practice American-style English communication, including natural wording, tone, confidence, pronunciation, and how to speak more clearly in business conversations. This is not a normal grammar lesson. I want live speaking practice with someone who can help me sound more natural, confident, and professional when talking with clients, recruiters, business partners, and colleagues. I would like to practice situations such as: Client calls Job interviews Business meetings Small talk Explaining my work and services Answering questions clearly Professional email or message wording when needed During each session, I would like direct feedback on my speaking, including pronunciation, sentence structure, word choice, tone, confidence, and how to sound more natural in American-style business English. A US-based or American English speaker is preferred. A male coach is also preferred because I want to practice male-style business conversation patterns, but strong communication ability is the most important. You do not need to be a certified English teacher, but you should be patient, friendly, and able to correct me in a helpful and practical way.

Role My client are looking for a freelance Digital PR / link-building specialist to earn high-quality editorial coverage for a UK large-group accommodation brand..

Urgent UK accountant for Goodlord reference

I urgently need a qualified UK accountant to help with a Goodlord tenant referencing issue. Important clarification: I do not have standard payslips, SA302, or my latest completed Self Assessment tax return available. That is the reason I need the accountant referee route. I am a UK limited company director. Goodlord has reopened my referencing application and said they may be able to verify my income if an accountant acts as my referee and confirms my income or projected income. The specific help I need is an accountant who can urgently review alternative evidence this weekend, including business bank statements, personal bank statements, marketplace revenue records, company details, a simple monthly P&L / management summary, and evidence of director drawings / transfers. If the evidence supports it, I need the accountant to respond directly to Goodlord confirming my current or projected director income. I am not asking anyone to confirm anything unsupported. I need a qualified accountant to review the evidence and confirm only what can properly be confirmed. Goodlord requires: 1. Full name of accountant referee 2. Accountancy firm name 3. Business email address, not Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail 4. Landline number Requirements: 1. Must be UK based or experienced with UK limited company directors 2. Must be professionally qualified or part of a recognised accountancy body, for example ACCA, ICAEW, AAT, ICAS, CIPFA or similar 3. Must have a proper business email address 4.

UX/UI Web Designer – Joomla 6 (JoomShaper Stack)

Project Overview =============== We are looking for an experienced, high-end Joomla web designer and frontend layout specialist to completely modernise our existing corporate web presence. We are moving away from a legacy Joomla 3.10 site and transitioning into a fresh, high-performance Joomla 6 environment. A clean, vanilla instance of Joomla 6 has already been provisioned, configured, and hosted on our staging servers. This project is not a traditional technical database migration; it is a visual rethink, aesthetic update, and structural layout overhaul. We possess strong internal IT capabilities, meaning we do not require backend server configuration or extension engineering. We are strictly looking for an expert who excels in modern web layout, typography, visual hierarchy, and clean page-builder execution. The Creative & Design Scope (Our "Design Gap") ========================================= While our technical foundation is fully handled, modern layout structure and asset curation are our weak points. We are looking for a creative partner to take full lead on the visual direction: - Structure & Layout: You will review our existing legacy Joomla 3.10 site architecture and use your design expertise to heavily improve, clean up, and modernise it. We expect you to architect engaging, trustworthy page sections (e.g., modern "Meet the Team" grids, interactive process/service steps, crisp iconography, and elegant client testimonial blocks). - Content Strategy: As the visual designer, you are responsible for building the structural layout frames. We are completely happy to generate, edit, and paste the actual text content ourselves, as long as the visual structure and blocks are beautifully executed for us to work with. - Imagery & Asset Curation: You will be responsible for sourcing, curating, and editing high-quality, professional, modern imagery/graphics that elevate our brand identity. Cheesy or generic stock photos will not fit this project. All assets must be optimised and delivered in Next-Gen formats (e.g., .webp) to protect site speed. Technical Scope & Stack ======================== - CMS Core: Joomla 6 (Latest Stable Branch) - Framework/Builder: JoomShaper Helix Ultimate & SP Page Builder 6 Pro (Active premium subscription provided by us). We want to utilise a premium JoomShaper template layout as our canvas unless there is a strong design reason not to. - Source Material: Our live Joomla 3.10 site will be provided for raw copy extraction and layout comparison. - Staging: Full administrator access to the new Joomla 6 staging environment is ready to go. Key Milestones & Deliverables ========================= Phase 1 (UI/UX Concepts): Review the legacy site and propose template customisation paths, a typography plan, a cohesive imagery mood board, and initial layout concepts for the Homepage. Phase 2 (Core Page Build): Build out the custom responsive layouts inside Joomla 6 using SP Page Builder, populating the new page sections and placing our content/placeholders cleanly. Phase 3 (Mobile Polish & Handover): Ensure absolute fluid responsiveness across all device breakpoints, optimize the layouts for Core Web Vitals (speed targets), and ensure clean asset loading before handover. Freelancer Requirements (How to Apply) =================================== Please do not send a generic, automated copy-and-paste proposal. Because we have deep technical familiarity with the Joomla ecosystem, automated agency bids will be archived immediately. To be considered, please ensure you answer our application questions and provide: - Links to 2 or 3 live websites you have personally designed and built specifically using Joomla (v4/5/6) and the SP Page Builder / Helix ecosystem.

Stoic Tech Underdog Story

I’m commissioning a cinematic short story that traces a dismissed, underestimated engineer who—through strategy, resilience, and ruthless intelligence—ascends to lead the world’s richest technology company. The protagonist must feel authentically stoic and reserved while the overall tone remains inspiring and uplifting. Corporate politics, tense boardroom showdowns, relentless media scrutiny, and the personal cost of ambition all need to pulse through the narrative so the eventual triumph lands with real emotional weight. Pacing should stay tight, dialogue believable, and the final payoff deeply satisfying. Deliverables • Publication-ready manuscript (DOCX or Google Doc) • One-sentence logline • 100-word synopsis • One revision round after first submission Acceptance criteria • 5,000–8,000 words, fluent contemporary English • Consistent, plausible tech-industry details and stakes • Clear success arc culminating in CEO takeover • Final files shared via Google Drive or email link If you’re passionate about underdog success tales and can ground big drama in realistic technology-sector dynamics, I’d love to see a brief sample or outline of how you’d approach this project.
