Thanks to Abby’s English coaching, I can communicate with others in English much more naturally now.

During senior high school years, I rarely enjoyed English classes since my English teachers focused only on vocabulary, grammars and sentence patterns, and didn’t help me cope with the fear of speaking English. Therefore, since February, I have made much effort to improve my English skills before heading off to MIT in the U.S.A. Thanks to Abby, although there are still some problems in my essays, some significant, positive changes emerge. I am not afraid of English as I was before. I start treating English as a useful, flexible language but not a boring subject.

I struggle less with my writing, reading and speaking. First, there is a notable improvement in my English speaking. I had some opportunities to talk with foreigners before. Unfortunately, though I had something to say, I wasn’t able to open my mouth without complete organization. Thanks to Abby’s English coaching session once a week, I can communicate with others in English much more naturally now. Second, I am confident that I can write an article with complete structure and creative content. Third, it seems that now I can understand what the writers imply in long articles at ease. These three factors will make my English learning much more effective.

More importantly, after I came to US, I found that I am not too nervous to chat with foreigners. When I talk more confidently, it seems that other people start giving some recognition and encouragement. The positive feedback plays a very crucial part in my everyday life. To sum up, Abby’s English coaching session is a very great experience for me to understand not only how to write an essay but how to enjoy learning a language.
