...we don't focus on teaching you the basics of the English language (because as someone with a high-level of proficiency in English, you don't need us for that). Rather, we focus on guiding you through the nuances of the language of English-based cultures so that you can break free of the hold that mere proficiency in English has on your career and your ability to bring your dreams to life.

Here, at English with @CathleenElise, using our proprietary 4 Pillars of 360-Degree Fluency in English, we help you lay a solid foundation of the English language so that you can be confident in your knowledge of English and in your ability to use it with ease and accuracy. With this foundation sturdily in place, we take you deeper into the language by guiding you in two ways:

1) We guide you on a safari of the vocabulary you already know, showing you the vastness and diversity of the English language landscape as well as how to navigate it successfully.

2) We lead you on an archeological dig into the history and development of the English language (as well as the cultural and social development of its people) so that with this deeper understanding, you will be able to speak the language of the people of English-based cultures in a way that they truly understand.

By exploring these riches that are found beyond the basics and beneath the surface, you develop a fuller, more well-rounded understanding of the language and the people who speak it. You also develop a new way of thinking and of seeing the world. In turn, you develop a new way of seeing and understanding yourself, as well as a new way of communicating with the wider world. Finally, by unlocking this new vision and understanding, you develop an ever-deepening appreciation for the beauty of the language found in the rhythms, cadences, nuances, imagery, and so many other aspects of this language you have worked so hard to master.

Here at English with @CathleenElise, we provide you with the background information and insights of the language of English and the people who speak it - how it developed, why the environment in which it developed matters, the multiple nuances involved in verbal and non-verbal communication. With our focus on Business English, combined with decades of experience in the corporate world (and extensive training in the art of effective communications in the corporate environment), you receive expert business training as well.

Finally, we here at English with @CathleenElise provide you with a safe place for you as a non-native-English-speaking professional to come together to:

>> get your questions answered when you have them,

>> use the English you are learning in real, live conversations that deal with topics and events that you deal with every day, that affect your life now and in the future,

>> be guided through these conversations and questions by a multi-certified TEFL/TESOL instructor whose methods are more like those of a coach or personal trainer who understands your struggles, questions, and the importance of successfully becoming fluent in another language because we are language-learners ourselves. We've lived abroad ourselves so we get it, and we're excited to share with you what worked for us and to help figure out what will work best for you.
