The main problem that faces language learners who struggle is that they need to do 2 things:1. Recognise which strategies are holding them back or making them go slow.2 Find out out what they have to do so they can get to feel that now their speaking is no longer the issue holding them back. Find out what happens when you change the strategies you use!I work with you so you find a path that not only is effective but also you find engaging AND rewarding. I first work with you to find out what you know and what you bring. Having established the gaps and the obstacles you face, we work together on those elements of language you need. I provide the necessary strategies you may not have not been using to ensure your success. Through this process, a key aim of mine is for you to come to understandings and ways of learning that you can keep using till you get to the levels you need.As you become more effective in your learning, your results and your levels of confidence will keep on improving. It is important to adopt ways of learning that you enjoy. As the more you enjoy something, the more you want to do it. This can only help you to push further and further ahead.I provide a variety of coaching services, depending on the needs you have. The first 45 minutes of coaching I provide is free of charge. http://englishconfidenceunlocked.com/english-language-coaching-free/ Here is a chance for you to get a better sense of exactly where you are at and what you can do to keep moving ahead (with or without my coaching)
