NLP: The Psychology of Success - International Open Academy (IOA) - 2023Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has helped millions of people around the world.

By understanding the psychology of success, I help students open a door to a whole new world of opportunities and connections.

💯 My students come from all over the world and I have helped them succeed at job and law-related interviews, get offers from their dream universities, and pass the IELTS, GRE, TOEIC, PTE and other exams with their desired results. I help them improve from beginner and intermediate to advanced, so they are more confident, articulate and able to express themselves freely.

Teacher’s pick
After all these lessons with Kai, I have grown in several ways. Firstly, I am not afraid of speaking and writing anymore, especially writing. It helps me with my Chinese writing too. Now, I feel less pressure when I write, whether in English or in Chinese. I like to listen to podcasts and I can listen to most of the contents of different podcasts without subtitles or transcripts. I am also able to express myself better. When I write, I need to think, which helps me speak and write more logically. That is a hidden advantage of writing.

I highly recommend booking a class with Teacher Kai! I think it’s important to genuinely enjoy what you learn in order to progress and to also have a safe space to experiment and try out new vocabulary or grammar structures. Teacher Kai gives me this opportunity through what she has aptly named our “restful learning” sessions.
我认为为了取得进步，真心享受学习的过程以及拥有一个尝试新词汇和语法的安全空间非常重要。Kai老师通过她所称之为“restful learning”课程为我提供了这个机会。
