Why mindset is so important:
When I first started teaching, it was all about the traditional elements of grammar and pronunciation etc
However, I soon noticed there was a key aspect missing. I would have two clients with a very similar level of English but their English work performance differed massively. This was due to more than just nerves. The belief that many of my clients had that their English should be perfect, was reducing their ability to speak.
If you think
-you shouldn't make any mistakes when you speak
-you need to learn every English word you don't know
-you need to impress your audience with complex grammar or vocab
-you should have an accent like a native speaker
you are probably making your English worse.
You are taking your focus away from where it should be - your message.
Your fluency and your ability to listen to other people in the room suffer.
You are putting huge amounts of unnecessary pressure on yourself.
That's why mindset is a key part of both my offers.
If your main aim is to improve fluency, have a look at the Just Talk Club.
If you would like to look in-depth at the areas of English that are currently hard for you, my personalised training sessions are for you.
