About the Founder
“I have experienced how unclear communication impacts business results — from slower decisions to missed opportunities. Learn Up English was created to solve that.”
Naureen Marais is the founder of LearnUp English, dedicated to transforming how African professionals communicate on the global stage.
With a multidisciplinary background in communication strategy, performance training, and marketing, she brings a performance-based approach to corporate communication development — integrating clarity, presence, persuasion, and confidence into practical business English training.
Having trained adult professionals across Europe and Southeast Asia, Naureen now works with organisations in South Africa and across Africa, designing customised online and hybrid corporate programmes grounded in Cambridge business frameworks and real workplace scenarios.
Her focus is measurable impact: improved executive presence, stronger presentation delivery, refined written communication, and confident participation in meetings and negotiations.
LearnUp English partners with organisations in South Africa and throughout Africa to strengthen communication performance at every professional level.
