Communicating to Connect!
Hey, I'm Lucy
My mission is to make English learning Engaging, Practical, and Fun!
Are you tired of not making any progress in your speaking fluency ?
Are you dissapointed with traditional textbook courses ?
Are you anxious about your English speaking skills ?
Are you interested in hands-on practical English for everyday or for business ?
❝Supporting you in your language learning journey.❞
Learning a language is not an effortless process! I proritize your needs, make learning engaging, and have step-by-step lessons to provide you with a personalized language learning experience.
Many people feel anxious, embarassed, and frustrated when learning a language. Others have lost motivation, feel stuck, or have an unfounded belief that their English isn't "good enough".
But you can improve your fluency and confidence, even when you feel nervous or haven't been a successful language learner in the past.
I support non-native English speakers overcome these barriers with goals, strategies, and resources to build their confidence and motivation so they can:
-
Interview for the job they want
-
Share their ideas or opinions in meetings
-
Give presentations
-
Have conversations with anyone
-
Use English for travelling
-
Feel comfortable with any situation in English
-
Write clearly
❝Don´t wait to feel confident. Build confidence by doing.❞
