Trista & Kate

Have you found yourself feeling unease in front of a video camera and struggling to squeeze words out of your mouth at a video conference meeting?

I was there - tongue tied, sweating and self-conscious ever since this lockout period that forced me to present myself in front of a video camera at a conference meeting.

I started taking a lesson with Kate in April 2021. We meet once a week. Kate not only helps me correct my pronunciation but also encourages me to think on the spot. I especially like the speaking activities where Kate comes up with a fun activity and I talk freely for a minute. Sometimes she is a news reporter and I am a celebrity giving my opinions of things happening in the world. We have so much fun together in our session.

These days I have gained a lot confidence speaking in front of the camera and I am able to handle the conference meeting well. Thanks to Kate, I am happy with my progress and looking forward to our next session together!!
