Isa Barling
@isabarling
Customer Support professional specializing in client retention and clear technical communication (English C2).
What I'm looking for
I’m a customer-focused client relations and support professional with 14 years of client-facing experience, known for clear written and verbal communication (English C2). I consistently resolve complex issues, de-escalate frustrated clients, and turn challenging interactions into positive outcomes through active listening, needs analysis, and plain-language explanations of technical concepts.
In my roles, I’ve delivered highly tailored client experiences—training individuals from A1 to C2, supporting exam preparation (CAE/CPE/TOEFL/IELTS), and coaching clients to produce and deploy real-world applications. I’m especially proud of my track record: 90.3% client retention at Skyeng, strong first-attempt success for Cambridge CPE, and measurable improvements in clients’ progress timelines by personalizing my approach and collecting feedback to reduce repeat concerns.
