Does this sound like you?
- “I avoid writing at work because someone usually has to fix my mistakes. I’m worried that I’m ‘doing it wrong,’ or that people won’t understand what me.”
- “I’m comfortable chatting with friends, but I feel like I can’t find the right words at work or when I have to speak in a group.”
- “My spouse doesn’t correct my English, but then I keep making the same mistakes. And my kids are always correcting me, which just gets annoying.”
Expat life often defaults to English. Being confident enough to join in the conversation is essential to connecting in the workplace, at social events, or in everyday life.
You may have the knowledge, but lack confidence in your writing or speaking. Or, perhaps, you feel like you reached a certain level of English and then got stuck.
Language Coaching can help you ‘level up’ your English and move forward with confidence!
What is Language Coaching?
Language coaching takes principles from disciplines like life coaching or career coaching and applies them to the language learning process.
Everyone’s needs are unique depending on their English learning background and experience. That’s why we’ll start with a skills analysis and goal coaching.
You shouldn’t waste your precious time practicing what you already do well. Instead, focus your energy on what will make the biggest difference in your life or career! That’s why I build our sessions around your unique needs.
Writing
Learning to write well in English takes practice, just like learning to play the piano or practicing a sport. I’ll analyze your writing to identify where we need to focus first, then you’ll work on weekly writing assignments to increase your writing confidence and self-editing skills. Learn by doing…level up through practice!
Speaking
Stop getting stuck searching for the right words! If you’re comfortable using English conversationally but want to level up your public speaking skills, you need meaningful, focused practice. We’ll find the topics that interest you most, then identify useful words and phrases to practice using in everyday life and on the job.
Mix & Match Coaching
Need to expand your professional vocabulary but also work on your workplace writing skills? Interested in becoming a more confident public speaker and improving your presentation skills? My individualized language coaching is personally tailored to your needs.
I’ll help you clarify your goals, then we’ll work on an action plan to build your skills and confidence.
How do I get started?
I always start with a free, friendly, no-commitment Discovery Call so you can tell me more about your unique challenges and needs. Let’s talk!
“It was super easy to talk with you, and you have a great sense of what works, what’s useful, and how to think about these issues.
It was good to verbalize what I’m trying to accomplish, breaking things down into specific types of skills, and how to address each skill with different approaches.”
