It usually feels very scary to book a first lesson. Maybe you have had bad experiences with English learning in the past. Perhaps it feels strange to meet a stranger on a computer. And of course - trying something new is always scary! And I'm a new person and learning English this way - may be a new thing for you! 

But please don't worry! You're not alone. Nearly EVERYONE feels this way. It was the same for me when I had my first online class. 

I will bring care and empathy to every lesson, and especially the first one. In the trial lesson, I won't be evaluating you. I will not correct your mistakes on our first call together. 

Instead - my intention is that you feel comfortable and relaxed. I want you to see what I am like as a teacher, and I want to get to know you! 

I know your abilities are better than they will appear in this first class, because you will probably be nervous. That's totally normal! We're humans! 

I will listen without judgement and offer a lot of empathy. I will let you speak. I will give you the opportunity to really be heard.

This will allow us to see if working together makes sense. If we decide to continue with another class, what you share in the trial lesson will help me design personalized classes for you - based on your interests, lifestyle needs, goals, strengths, and challenges. 

I hope this makes sense. If you don't understand anything, or if you have any questions - please message me!!!

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Maybe you want to feel more confident when you speak English. Perhaps you feel stuck, blocked or overwhelmed. Maybe you are not sure how you should move forward.

The good news is that you're not alone. And the truth is -- getting support really helps!

Together we will find the tools and build the systems to fit your wants and needs. I will support you with your mindset - to help you feel less fear and more joy as you speak and learn. 

You have worked very hard to get where you are. You deserve to feel motivated and confident as you move forward. And with a little help, you CAN feel those things or you can feel those things AGAIN. Like you used to, when you began to learn. 

At this stage in the learning journey - English can also become another way to find inspiration and nourishment in areas that interest you. It can be used as a tool to get creative, to learn complex things, and to connect with others. 

It IS possible! Together we will build a path that you actually WANT to travel on - and that will allow you to get where you want to go!

YOUR WHY, YOUR WAY: Personalized language coaching & teaching

Write to improve your SPEAKING, do something you love, change how you think and feel, and get creative - all at the same time!

The challenge can be DOING IT. Sometimes we are not sure if we're doing it "right." Maybe we don't know what to write about. 

Other times, the voice of our inner critic is so loud that we stop. Writing in English can feel strange or unpleasant, too.  

The good news is that getting support can help you try or continue this wonderful technique. It's an underappreciated tool, that you may learn to love! 

I'm here to help! Message me if you have any questions or just sign up for a class! 

I hope you give these creative coaching calls a try!

WRITE NOW: Gain confidence, build new habits & get creative

For many people, even native English speakers, "small talk" is boring.

If you're learning English and you're someone who prefers to talk about deeper, more personal or meaningful topics -- small talk can be very unpleasant. 

I understand! That's how I feel. I don't like talking about the weather or what I did yesterday or what I am going to do for vacation/holiday.

Instead, I like to hear what people really think, what they have experienced in their lives, and what they care about.

I give students the opportunity to talk about what they LIKE to talk about. Things that interest them. What they like to think and learn about. Their lives. Their world. 

Getting a chance to actually converse, in English, might be just what you're missing - and it can help build your confidence and increase your motivation.

My students are usually people who like to learn - and outside of class they enjoy learning about psychology, philosophy, personal growth, art, creativity, entrepreneurship, and many other things. 

In our classes, I provide a space for students to talk about these topics - to engage with the material they watch or listen to. To share what they're learning and what it means to them. 

I hope you'll try out these classes - and tell me what you REALLY think! Let's engage in interesting conversations IN ENGLISH!
