English coaching for The Talent Project!

It was wonderful to be the English coach for The Talent Project and work with such incredibly dedicated candidates.

I’ve got some exciting news I’d like to share with you!

As you may or may not know, I only see 1 person a day as a personal English coach. It’s busy and there’s a waiting list (but the sessions are so worth waiting for). If you’d like to work on your English and personal coaching doesn’t fit your schedule or your budget, I have the […]
I’ve never done this before, so how can I mess it up?

I’ve never done this before, so how can I mess it up? A few days ago I launched a card game. Do I know anything about card games? Nope. So why did I do it? I wanted to find a fun way for adults to learn and improve their English. This is kind of my […]
