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. We blew and buzzed the THs, vibrated the Vs, rounded out the vowels, muted the Ts and Ds, worked on timing, flow, muting, punching, knitting, lyrics comprehension, and so much more.

It’s so funny!
Just the other day I was working with a new client on her presentation skills in a VIP Deep Dive. She was so ashamed to speak English in public and always let her nerves get in the way. I asked her who she admired as a public speaker in English, and she named one of […]

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 […]
