I recently received this heart-warming thank you from the British Council for presenting at BBELT! My BBELT experience validated a crucial gap that my program addresses, which is to integrate mindfulness practices with English language training , especially for B2/C1 learners who struggle in real-world situations. It's not just about knowledge - it's about managing performance anxiety as well. Our Confident English Training community loves the mindfulness aspect. They find it helps them pause, reflect, and take action with clarity. Do you struggle with anxiety in English interactions? Let's chat! Book a consultation here to speak about your current situation - this alone can bring purpose and direction to your English (and life!) aims and goals - and learn if you're a good fit for our program. See you on Zoom!
