From score of 8 to a 10 — even with a speech impediment
|
Hello Reader, In case you missed it: In this week's podcast episode, I share one of my favourite stories about a previous client of mine named Tin who was stuck between a 7 and 8 on the speaking section of the CELPIP no matter how many times he tried. His English was strong enough to score higher, but a speech impediment kept getting in the way — not his fluency. Tin and I spent several months practicing his speaking responses again and again through voice chat, at his own pace, on his own time. He showed up every single day to practice, and on his exam day, he didn't just hit his target — he scored a 10 on the speaking section of the exam! I'm so proud of him! (Tin, if you're reading this, you worked incredibly hard and totally deserve the great results you achieved!) But now, over to you: If you've ever felt like your score doesn't reflect your real English ability, this episode is a good reminder that sometimes it's not about "trying harder," it's about practicing the right thing, consistently, in a way that actually fits how you learn. Listen to the episode here. **** 📖 Don't miss it: A Free Mini-course: Have you grabbed your free mini course? If the speaking section of the CELPIP is driving you crazy, then you'll love this!

Hello Reader, Does it ever feel like those 30 seconds of brainstorming time on the speaking section of the CELPIP are never enough to figure out what you'll say? And then even worse, the REAL TROUBLE begins: trying to fill those 60 and 90 second response times for each of your answers! How do you deal with that blasted timer? This week I'm responding to a question I read over on Reddit because I know it's a common challenge that maybe you are facing today, too! So if you've ever found...
Hello Reader, I've had more conversations this week about AI than I think I have ever had. At work, we're trying to figure out how to use it to help reduce time on mundane (boring) tasks like sorting survey responses and categorizing them. What would have taken me hours to do manually now just takes a few minutes - but it's not perfect. I still need to wrestle Claude to make it do what I really want it to do. I I was in 3 meetings over the past week were we were discussing how to use AI, when...
Hello Reader, Have you ever found yourself focused entirely on all the mistakes you've made or have been making - both in your life and in your CELPIP prep? Like that focus becomes all you can see?

Maybe I should just give up." In this week's podcast I'm talking about failure, and hopefully I offer you some...
