The pen is mightier than the sword!

Hello dear, and how is your year going so far? I hope it’s off to a great start. Mine is going really well – I’m thoroughly enjoying getting back in the saddle again and reconnecting with my students and clients after spending a couple of weeks only connecting with my family and friends. I so […]
Resolutions?! Revolutions!

Happy New Year sweetie! How’s your year been going so far? I haven’t seen you since…last year, and you look exactly the same. How do you do that? Wow. On my first day back at work I talked to my students about their New Year’s Resolutions – what were their goals for 2015? What did they want […]
Thank you all.

Thank you all for your support in 2014. It’s been an incredible year in so many ways. Looking back I’d like to share some of the highlights (and the lowlights) with you. It’s very hard to focus on just a few things, but in the spirit of brevity, I’ll try to keep it short! *My […]
In Joost’s honor…oops I mean honour!

Hey! Last week I got a lovely email from Joost who asked me to focus a bit on British English. Aye aye, Guv’na (she said while twirling her umbrella and swaying her pinafore on the Tower Bridge)! 😉 Although I’m American, my book Rock Your English! teaches British grammar (with American exceptions ;)). I get […]
The newsletter that keeps on giving

Hello you delicious you! Did you know that you are absolutely my very favorite you in the whole world? No one rocks it like you do, sweet you. Stay you because if you weren’t you that would kind of suck. Ok? Ok! I’m feeling so festive because I love the holidays! I truly enjoy finding […]
Sharing is caring; giving is living
I love giving, especially when it comes to golden nuggets of knowledge! Just wanted to share some gifts with you just in time for the holiday season. If you’d like to invest in yourself or someone you love (or hate but you don’t want them to know), then perhaps you’d like to have a look […]
Now that you’ve asked someone out…

Hello, sweetie! Last week I sent you a free PDF about how to deal with invitations in English. (If you missed it, click here!) I got so many lovely responses (thank you all for that!) that I’d like to take it a step further today and let you know how to use those pesky prepositions […]
Let’s talk turkey! (and my free gift to you – confidence!)

Hello sweetie, thank you so much for letting me slip into your inbox today. The holiday season is upon us! This Thursday is Thanksgiving in America – a tradition drenched in history, culture, politics (which I won’t get into now) and FOOD. As I slowly sip from the golden goblet of gratitude, I’d like to take […]
Buffi Duberman update!

Hello sweetie! Thank you so much for letting me slip into your inbox today. I’m going to leave it with a smile and a handy tip or two. This is what I heard in my coaching sessions last week, which prompted me to write this blog: She: “I feel really bad about my English because […]
Buffi Duberman update!

I sure like Mondays! Why? Well, sweetie, there’s lots of reasons. Every Monday morning, I see lots (loooots) of students at the Rockacademie. Every Monday I make pasta for my kids (and sneak in spinach – don’t tell them!). Every Monday I go for a little run (I call it ‘monumentenzorg’ whenever I work out). […]
