Why a real person, not an app or AI agent
An app or AI agent can drill vocabulary, but it can't replicate real life. Real communication goes two ways — you have to read the other person and respond, not just recite. So much of meaning lives in word stress, intonation, tone, word choice, and body language, and you only learn to hear it and use it by talking with a real person who talks back.
An app or AI agent is also endlessly agreeable — it rarely pushes back, so you never find out what you're actually getting wrong. People behave differently with AI, too, when they know no one is really watching. And standardized classes have the same blind spot: they're built for everyone in general and disconnected from you in particular — your goals, your job, and the real challenges of your life and career.
That's what coaching with me is instead: real conversations with honest corrections in the moment, about topics that matter to you and fit your goals. A real coach gives you real feedback — kindly, but honestly — remembers where you're headed, and helps you get there. An app or AI agent never will.
