Fluent yet foreign (sometimes)* and live in Spain (all because I fell in love with a firefighter). He promised to rescue me from any problem except irregular English verbs.

I discuss these things in my emails, and surprisingly, I always find a way to relate them to how you can improve your English fluency and have that freedom of choice.

It’s part of my job.

*I’ll explain about feeling foreign…

This happens to me all the time. When people ask about my job, I tell them:

 ‘I help people feel comfortable speaking English.’ 

They usually ask if I can help them communicate fluently, but it’s more than that. I help people become fluent and fearless, not just speak it.

It’s like helping someone feel at home in a new language, not a foreigner.

Sometimes, I help break down the barriers that fluency struggles can create so you can reach your full potential without being held back by language.

Oh, and I also send a daily email. Why? To help you be yourself, in any language, every day.

What about that love story with a firefighter? Let’s save it for later. Where was I?

Everyone’s got a reason for doing what they do. 

As a kid, I had no clue what I wanted to be. But I always thought people who spoke English were super smart. 

My parents always told me, ‘Learn English; it’ll be a lifesaver.’ And they were right! 

I’ve always loved teaching English to anything that breathes (and to some that don’t), from my cat Barsik and my granny to my dolls.

I didn’t know it then, but English has allowed me to earn money and do anything I want while having fun. It gave me freedom of choice.

Now, I want to help you do the same. Let’s crush those fears and reach your full potential in English.

But… So, who am I? Am I a little dangerous?

  • I’m an only child who loves karate and capricious and curious by nature.
  • I’m a bit of a perfectionist, but don’t let that fool you. I’ve been known to leave the dishes and still sleep soundly.
  • I’m always reading, though it’s mainly in English now.
  • I’ve even sold a truck in Spain, even though my Spanish wasn’t fluent (I’ll tell you that story later).
  • I speak Spanish like a native because, well, I fell in love with a Spaniard (I’ll share it with you in the first email)
  • Even though I’ve been teaching English for several decades, I still get insecure sometimes. But that’s a good sign—it means I’m on the right track.
  • I’m fluent in five languages and have a bunch of degrees, but really, I’m just a person who loves learning and helping others communicate English fluently while being their true selves.

Okay, I am not dangerous, but to be sure, you’ve got no choice but to subscribe:

A friend once said I’m too serious. It’s true I’m not a social butterfly, but I’m at ease with my inner circle. I spend a lot of time reflecting and writing, which is where some of my best ideas come from…
