Are you tired of feeling....
๐ก doubtful and uncomfortable when you speak English?
๐ต that you can't understand native speakers without asking them to repeat what they've said?
๐ that you can't find the words to express your thoughts precisely as you intended?
๐ด that you lack confidence when you speak, so you don’t speak up in meetings or conference calls?

You're
NOT ALONE.
If you've studied English for many years but still feel stuck and unsure—it's not your fault. Many people who learn English without the help of others reach a certain point when they don't know how to continue to improve.
You see. Here's the problem:
The solution isn't to continue studying the way you have until now.
Something must change.
You need to focus on doing the *right* activities that can help you progress.
My goal is to help you
๐กgain confidence within different cultural contexts and build relationships
