Every time we met, Ms. Lee would provide materials ahead of time to help me get familiar with the terms and context and patiently answered questions during our meetings. With her professional knowledge and familiarity with Asian culture, the conversation is always enjoyable and right to the target. Also, she would write a summary after our conversations and followed up proactively to make sure the process moved along smoothly and timely.

Marina took a very methodical approach. At the very beginning, she listened attentively to the situation and needs. With thoughtful considerations and good questions, a detailed and well-organized timeline was provided to illustrate the steps and upcoming events, which greatly increased the clarity and my confidence to meet my needs successfully.

I came to Ms. Lee unsure if my difficulty with English was real or if other gaps were stopping my progress. From the first session, my gaps were identified and a clear plan for my evolution was created. I learned that one key difficulty is the same as in my native language: I think faster than I speak, so sometimes I do not explain clearly even when I know the subject very well. She taught me to speak more slowly and give myself time to self-analyze, which increased my confidence and reduced the need to repeat myself. Ms. Lee is very professional, experienced, and respectful. She explains in an easy way and shares a methodology that helps me continue to evolve on my own, even outside the coaching. I have already recommended this coaching to many friends and colleagues in our multinational and multicultural company, where many arrive with low confidence in a corporate and executive environment and want to improve their understanding and speaking of English.
