About Me

I am Carmelina Micallef a native English language speaker and personal trainer.

​

I help busy professionals who need to ‘brush up’ their English for business or for personal reasons.

​

Throughout my teaching career, students in international settings at school, university and in the working world shared a common problem when learning English: their inability to be fluent.

​

Fluency is about communicating ideas, about the person you’re communicating with and picking the right messages. If you make a mistake in saying something but is effective enough to be understood, then this is fluency.

​

​

Here are just some of the things that frequently emerged about trying to be fluent:

It wasn’t a priority for us to practice our speaking skills at school. I learnt chunks of content and confusing explanations but never did any speaking.

​

I can understand, but when it comes to speaking I’m scared of making mistakes.

​

I know what I want to say but I easily get stuck. I can’t find the right words.

​

I can’t start a conversation or keep it going.

​

I’m tired of following classes. Nothing will ever work for me.
