FAQ's

When does each speaking program start?

Each speaking program will begin on the first of the month. If you purchase a month’s program on the 1-4th of a new month, you will be added to the current month’s program. 

If you purchase a month’s program after the 4th of the month, you will automatically be added to the next month’s program. If you wish to make alternative arrangements, email me directly.

Do I have to join in the group activities, or can I just do the private part of the program?

It is completely up to you. However, the benefit of joining in group activities are considerable. You will overcome fear more quickly, you will make new connections and you will get much more out of the program.

Why should I buy this program now?

Improving speaking skills can take time. It takes regular, structured practice to see real benefits. By focusing on the communication skills you need, you will rapidly transform your confidence in your speaking abilities. However you will still need some extra time to expand your vocabulary and grammar skills in order to approach fully-natural English. The sooner you start to speak, the quicker the transformation WILL occur.

Will I improve my grammar in this program?

This is a fluency-focused program. There is no direct activity for improving grammar or vocabulary. However, these skills will naturally be improved indirectly as you use your skills daily. And this will be included in the feedback stage of the program if needed.

What platform do you use for these programs?

All communications are sent and received on the Telegram app. There will be a group chat available for asking any questions and getting to know each other, as well as the 4th week’s discussion task. However all other tasks (including feedback) is done with me in a private chat.

I have a really busy schedule. Do I need to be available at a set time?

No. This is the real benefit of this kind of program. You can do the activity at any time of the day that suits you. It takes just 10-15 minutes a day. And if you cannot do it one day, you can catch up on the next day. Each week will have 1-1.5 hours of work in total, but spread out in small amounts each day, so you can fit it around the busiest schedule.

I am not sure my English level is high enough for this program.

The real benefit of this kind of program is that everyone will be at different levels, but everyone will get the same benefit from the activities. You will need to be at an intermediate level in order to understand the videos, podcasts and articles. If you are at a pre-intermediate level of English, you can contact me and I we can discuss your situation individually to see if this will be suitable.
