Oh my darling, It happened on Monday. Sad face. And again on Thursday. Sadder face. And on Friday morning too. The saddest face EVER. What made me so weepy? It was this…getting a well-written mail that was very well crafted and had the right style and tone, and it ended with this…. ‘I look forward […]
I remember his first day of school. How he was nervous but so friendly and warm. I saw his talent develop over the years, and I’m proud to have helped him nurture and extend that phenomenal talent. Struggling with writing lyrics that were a true reflection of what his heart was trying to say. Staying […]
Wait, what, Buffi? Ninja…letters? What’s that? That’s my new name for letters that you can see but not hear in English. Oh. Wait. Ninjas are people you cannot see OR hear. Um…can I call these letters ‘visible ninja letters’? No, that sounds lame. I’m just going to stick with Ninja Letters. And I’ve capitalised it […]

‘I need to work on my English but I am so busy!’ ‘My English needs help but I have no idea where to start.’ ‘I wish I could have a teacher who could help me whenever I needed it.’ Does this sound familiar? Well, your wish is my command. After hearing these kinds of things […]
‘Oh my god. I had no idea.’ This is something I heard several times a day in my English Confidence Boo(s)tcamp last week.
