Yulia, IT Specialist

Emilia, Ph.D. Medical Researcher
“I was feeling stuck in English. I couldn’t start a conversation without feeling fear… and then I found your website. I was so happy that I found it. And I didn’t have doubts that I should do the course.”
Aide, Graduate Student
“I was so shy and quiet when conversations were happening around me. I was insecure, I didn’t feel like I could say a sentence. Even though I knew how to say it, I was so nervous. I’ve taken so many classes and they helped me to a point but I was feeling like I was stuck there… and that’s how I found Fluency School.”
Monica, Marketing Strategist
“I’m a shy person, but I’m more shy when I’m speaking English — was shy. But I got the confidence to speak at my level. Right now, I have the tools to not be stuck. I feel confident with me.”
Jenny, Accountant
“You will never feel regret about this because when you want something, you have to do an investment in yourself. And this course is a very good step… you will feel more fluent and when you talk, you will feel that investment you did was the best.”
Inna, Yoga Instructor
“Just do it. You will see it’s worth your time, it’s worth your money, and this one month – I’m sure absolutely – will change your life and your English. You will be confident. You will be satisfied with yourself. Just do it.”
Dania, Business Professional
“The most important one, I would say, was the personalized feedback. I knew there was something missing, I knew there was something I needed to improve but I didn’t know what or how. And then I had fears. I was embarrassed to talk. My confidence was so weak… after Fluency School, it’s like, the switch went on.”
Anna, Tax Lawyer
“I was nervous. I was somewhat hesitant because I haven’t had previous experience of taking online classes and I was not sure how this will go. But I decided if I don’t try, I will not know… the greatest benefit was I regained my confidence.”
Cida, Lawyer
“I started the course because I was stuck and always afraid of everything. Because I believed my English wasn’t good enough… I would say don’t hesitate. Go for it. You won’t regret it. Because joining Fluency School was worth every minute of my time. Don’t hesitate. Do it.”
Veronica, Business Development Manager
“Don’t wait. If I didn’t do it in April, I would have to wait until July. I was like no, no, no. That’s too late. So don’t wait. As you can see, this is the perfect course to help us to improve, to practice, to have a lot of fun. So, it’s my advice, don’t wait. Just do it.”
Gintare, Tourism Industry Expert
“It’s much more than learning English and improving your skills. I’m sure there is no way to be disappointed and because Annemarie is so dedicated and because of her ability to understand each student, I think that each person can find his own path to English fluency.”
Beatriz, Transportation Expert
“I need English for my work… I wasn’t able to speak English in a meeting. I was afraid to speak up in English, to say something in English. So in Fluency School, I learned a lot of things. Currently, I still make mistakes speaking in English but I can speak in English. And I feel confident. And I feel can speak in English, that I can speak English in a meeting, that I can call a colleague.”
Lina, Project and Service Manager
“I saw the name Fluency School. The name was my goal. I always wanted to speak fluently. And this name got my attention. I started look at what it is. The second thing is this course is I don’t need to go anywhere. It’s online. The name, the place, and the time, you targeted my requirements.”
Dzmitry, Business Owner
“Just do it. Simple. Do it. I can’ only add it’s not easy. You have to work hard. If you want to have the best results. But don’t be afraid because you’ll take satisfaction during the classes.”
Anne-Laure, UX Designer
“Nothing is more important than be confident in English and this is the best way I found to be more confident.”
Catalin, Entrepreneur
“Definitely don’t postpone joining, don’t think you’re not ready for this. You are. You definitely are. You’ll meet other colleagues with the same level of your English.”
Tanya, English Teacher
“Fluency School definitely helped me because I had a great practice with speaking. Especially, I loved our small group discussions. They were awesome. To be honest, I want to participate again and again.”
Ana, Lawyer
“The one important thing which I took from Fluency School is I’m more confident in English. And also, I had a chance to understand people all over the world.”
There are two things that made me make the decision to join. First, the insights that the website had. I felt that this course was created for me. When I read if I felt nervous, if I feel stuck, etc., I was thinking this is for me. That is exactly what I was looking for for many years. Second, when I met Annemarie, she has the feeling to make to feel others comfortable. She is very professional and kind. It gave me complete trust.
I feel that it is specialized for shy people, or maybe people that feel they are stuck. Annemarie has the tools to improve it. She has something different from other courses. I have had many courses on my life, I got certificates, I did Rosetta Stone, I got a personal professor, but she has something that helps you achieve to be unstuck. Something to give you a new opportunity to believe that you are able to speak in English. She knows exactly the common mistakes that the people make on English, and she knows how to improve it. For a professional environment or daily life this course in my opinion is the best!
Finally, I just want to say thank you to Annemarie. I think she can’t imagine the change that she did in me. It’s a kind of rehabilitation. Now, I want to speak English with my husband, I want to learn more vocabulary, I want more and more. And the most important thing, I’m thinking in English.
I’ve overcome my fears, especially without detailed preparation; I’ve learned to introduce myself in different styles; I’ve learned to notice and to avoid fillers (it’s the point that needs improvement :-); I’ve received knowledge how to participate in long discussions on any theme or topic – wow!
I feel that my active vocabulary has activated and grown; thanks to feedback I’ve started to change my pronunciation and intonation.
IrynaI totally loved your course!
It was the only course I got which provided a personal feedback and real techniques that work. I think became more confident in English, and I feel that I can communicate much more clearly. I’ve started to use your strategies and they help me to make the right choices in grammar.
And I think the most important is that I accepted my accent, stopped to feel shy.
YuliaThe course material it was great and the small groups amazing. I definitely had progress building my confidence. I get a little bit less nervous now when speaking because I know the strategies.
The Fluency School team is just fabulous and I’m thankful I have you right now in my life.
MaisaBefore Fluency School, I was afraid to say any word, I was afraid to open mouth, I was afraid to make mistakes. I was shy and I stand in the corner of the room just to avoid any questions or conversations.
I wanted to enjoy my life, to become stronger and confident then speaking English. To join Fluency School was the best my best decision. I am still afraid a little bit, but now I am not afraid to speak, I learn some strategies, and I know that I can do it small step by step.
After Fluency School, I participated in the meeting, made presentations and talked with others.
EgléBefore I took the course, I lacked the self-confidence to speak in English, I used to be so nervous and usually, I will get stuck repeating the same sentence over and over.
Well, I am happy to report that with your help I’ve become more confident and fluent.
Today by coincidence I saw my daughter’s old native English teacher. She came to say hello, we talked for a full 20 minutes, English was just flowing out of my mouth. I didn’t get stuck as usual. I can’t tell how much I was happy, this is thanks to you.
BayanBefore Fluency School, I felt very frustrated, and I thought that my time in Boston wasn’t improving my English skills. And my problem with other courses was that I couldn’t see the difference between before and after.
With Fluency School I have new tools, new strategies and this is very stimulating to keep going. I’m sure I can do it, and I feel better in relation to the achievements reached.
MariaI was worried that this course would be similar to a previous one I took and I didn’t like but there was something in Annemarie’s words that convinced me and I decided to join. After I joined I was really surprised, happy, excited, thankful and feeling blessed that I finally found what I was looking for, a real course that helps me to overcome my fears and improve my English.
Fluency school is personalized for every student with feedback on everything that we do. Also, Fluency School helps to keep you motivated and continue with what we started.
The only thing I can say is I’m really happy, satisfied and thankful with Fluency School. Now I’m not worried to open my mouth to express my ideas because I know that I’m prepared for this. I don’t want to stop.
Before Fluency School, I worried that I won’t have time, but surprise, you did something, that forced me to have time for English. 🙂
Also, I wasn’t sure about online courses is the most appropriate way for English, but you destroy this myth. Online is the most comfortable way because you only need to have the internet connection.
LinaI would do it again and again! I am so glad that I made this decision to participate and I am 100 % sure that each person at the end of this course can feel personal growth. It’s not a simple English language course – but it’s a possibility to meet the most wonderful teacher who will always support and encourage you. There are no proper words to describe the feelings during or at the end of the course. But I am sure that each student will discover so many things about themselves!
This course is exactly what I really want to learn. I feel more confident when speaking in English. Sometimes, I feel like I were a native speaker.
UsasriAfter Fluency School I feel more confident in my abilities.
It was a great way to refresh my English communication skills and to elaborate it with useful speaking skills.
LaetitiaI was worried about my English level because I know that I have some issues with activating vocabulary and grammar but I understood very quickly that I can feel safe in the community, everyone has his own challenges, we are all here for different learning processes and the support is fantastic.
Other noticed changes are my confidence to speak in English. As I had a client over recently, I felt more free in expressing myself and had no fears about speaking. I’m now able to tap into vocabulary with the help of technics we learned. These are tremendous steps forward.
I think that you are doing a tremendous job. You gave all of us enough time to speak, personal feedback, reply on personal questions and most importantly you activate feeling confident.
But I feel that this is just the first step of my work and I want to keep practicing. This is just the beginning of getting my confidence back!
Anne-LaureI feel more confident. I take advantage of the different strategies I´ve learnt when I speak in English now. I feel that I´ve activated a lot of vocabulary and also I am able to listen to myself and detect my mistakes.
The big difference is the focus on speaking, I think that it makes the course so useful and gives total satisfaction to the student, you can feel your improvement at the end of the month. I would also highlight the personal feedback as one of the most important things that increase the quality of the course.
BeatrizOne day I was looking on Facebook and I saw advertisement with Fluency School. I started looking for information about this course, I found videos and watched them.
The first time I watched a video with Cida and that made me want to find more information and enroll in this course. I wrote to Anne Marei and she answered immediately.
Before I started this course I felt stuck, nervous and shy. I was thinking how I could feel comfortable when I talked to those around me, not be nervous and be confident in myself.
Now, it’s very different because I feel confident in myself, my vocabulary is improved and I am more comfortable talking in English with people around me. I would like to thank Anne Marie for the patience you had with me, your advice and encouragement. It’s very important for me to have the best teacher and I’m waiting to start the Advanced Conversation in January.
AnnaThis course gave me the tools which I can use to create a successful conversation and was based on practice, not on theory.
I have never found so multidimensional approach to speaking (life lessons, speaking tasks, meticulous feedback, and community support).
None of my previous teachers cares about keeping a positive mindset and motivation on a high level and was so embedded in teaching.
AnettaI really enjoyed my time with Fluency School both in terms of learning and communication. I could not even imagine that it could be so interesting and useful.
I realize that I begin using the learned strategies in my daily life. I will definitely recommend the school. The format of small groups was extremely interesting and helpful. The course materials are very concise and easy to refer and use.
AnnaI feel really proud of myself because I gave my best and I feel like I had an amazing experience that I would love to repeat again.
I just wanted to say one last time, even when I sound repetitive, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your passion as a teacher. I can totally see that you enjoy your work and our achievements too.
You took the time to be part of my personal learning in the last 4 amazing weeks. I have never had a teacher like you who took my progress and my mistakes and actually gave me feedback and understood my needs and saw not only my mistakes but my progress.
JannethStarting to think English is the most important skill I have got after joining to Fluency School. It’s really useful to talk English every day. I can use experiences I learned at Fluency School in my daily life.
LinhThe main difference of the Fluency School from all the English courses I`ve been taking before – the mentor focuses on the students and their progress. This course is organized not only to help you advance and deepen your knowledge of the English language, but it also provides a wide range of different methods and tools useful in everyday life.
This course provides a very solid and stable foundation for continuing to escalate your ability to learn English. It nurtures fearlessness and courage to speak despite grammatical mistakes or a lack of vocabulary. At the same time, it gives you the necessary skills, effective techniques, and practical proficiency to avoid and correct mistakes in the future.
DinaraIn my opinion, Fluency School is a very efficient method of teaching/learning, because the course is very well designed, the teacher supports the students all the time and she is really good. She knows how difficult it is to move to another country and to have a second language and she has excellent skills in teaching. I really appreciate and learned a lot, especially because it was my first online course and I want to go onto Level II.
I’ve noticed many changes in my English. First of all, I’m more confident and consequently happier. Now I know I can express myself in English and not only the Speaking Tasks, but the feedbacks Annemarie gave me were very helpful for changing the way I see myself speaking English.
My ability to communicate in English is better and there are many differences before and after Fluency School, such as changing in the way I was dealing with the situation (I was passive) and now I’ve scheduled time to study every day, I’m changing my thought pattern and I’m more positive now that I understood that I can communicate in English.
CidaEveryone who wants to become fluent in English should join this course because the technique that the teacher follows is perfect and flexible that’s why l advise everyone to join this course.
ShaymaaI noticed many things because in the beginning I was very nervous and I was not comfortable in Fluency School but as time passed I found out that it was very valuable as I could speak and create different thoughts and ideas to share with other people.
I was surprised with the questions, how I could use them to challenge myself and to make enormous advancement. I have been working a lot to achieve success on the TOEFL exam, so I am thankful for Annemarie because she gave this wonderful chance to advance forward.
This is a great program for everybody who would like to advance the ability to speak fluently and confidently in English.
The capstone of my expectation was to break through the inhibition of my brain… this month I pored over learning English. Part of the fun consists of an allure, what Annemarie has. This is a crucial effect. Annemarie, you grease the skids of speaking confidently in English. It was a joyous month for me.
AndrásIn my opinion, Fluency School was amazing! It was different, creative and challenging! I learned so many things and more importantly, it kept me motivated during the course because you provide to us a variety of activities and I didn’t get bored. I studied a lot, I did the activities I committed to the course and I think all was really important to me accomplish more confidence to speak.
I loved the feedback on every speaking task. It was so helpful because we talk a lot but we didn’t know if the native speaker is understanding. The feedback helped me see what I need to improve. I also learned grammar, vocabulary, and got advice to speak more natural.
EmiliaI have had a great time, nice discussions and warm encouragement. I strongly recommend this course to everyone who desires to experience a different and attractive way of teaching and learning. There is not any boredom in this Fluency School.
ElenaI have very busy life, I did not have time during the work days … I thought it would not be very effective for me and I had fears that I would not be able to improve my speaking skills. Now, my feeling is very different. I am very happy with my decision and I feel that my speaking skills in English have changed and have progress.
I had a very good (great) experience with this course. It is worth to take time and energy in this course. It works great. I became confident in English. I had support and encouragement from Annemarie, it is valuable. Also, it is very important that I met very interesting people from different countries.
AnaAt the beginning, I was afraid of not following you but after our first short discussion I was relieved and I knew that this course is suitable for me. I’m glad that I joined this course, it was really helpful and I gained confidence, the more you practice the more you get.
I would like to say that it was an honor to be one of your students, you are a talented active teacher.
ShaimaaI didn’t believe I would be asked to make so much online action. I didn’t expect so much interaction between me and other participants and teacher (In fact I think this interaction is the real reason of Fluency School’s success). But now I am surprised in a very pleasant way about Fluency School!
As I wrote before it really increased my speaking ability. This month I made the greatest progress since I have started to learn the English language.
DaceI can say that all speaking tasks were challenging and useful! As for me, the main thing is that I can see all results of doing them right now! I feel more confident and I can express what I want!
The greatest feeling I had that we all were a team, a friendly family! I’ve found new friends and it was so interesting to be a part of this Fluency School! I can say what I want! I’m not afraid of making mistakes! I can understand other people! And it’s fantastic! I want to improve my knowledge more and more!
