About

I am Zorana, or Zo for friends. Language, literature, and the arts have always been my world. With an academic background in English Literature, I was passionate about poetry, stories, and the beauty of expression.

But when I moved to Portugal, the demand was different — companies were looking for Business English trainers. I’ll be honest: I felt like a fish out of water at first. Gone were the metaphors of Yeats and the soliloquies of Shakespeare — replaced by boardrooms, KPIs, and legal jargon.

Fast forward 20 years and… I’ve found my rhythm.

(“No longer a fish out of water — now I swim like I belong in the current.”) 

I’ve had the privilege of equipping thousands of professionals — from board members and lawyers to finance directors and bankers — with the confidence to speak, write, and negotiate effectively in English.

If you’re ready to unlock your full linguistic potential, I’d love to help!

I’ve worked with top-tier
companies such as:

Bank of Portugal
Santander Bank
Linklaters
Caixa bank
Gulbenkian Foundation
Casa Mendes Gonçalves
EMSA
Unilever
