Conquer Speaking Anxiety: Stop Freezing in English
Kursinhalt
You know the word. You know the grammar. Then the moment comes, your chest tightens, and nothing arrives.
That isn't an English problem. Studying more vocabulary will not fix it, which is why years of study haven't. It's a fear response, and fear responses are trained down, not studied away.
What we actually do
We name what's happening. The freeze is physical — heart rate, shallow breathing, a brain that has decided this is danger. Understanding the mechanism removes a surprising amount of its power.
We build a ladder. We start at a level of exposure where you're only slightly uncomfortable, and climb. Not by throwing you into the deep end, which is how most people got frightened in the first place.
We use evidence-based habits. I hold Yale's Science of Well-Being certification and I bring in the techniques with actual research behind them — attention, reframing, self-talk, and how you prepare in the ten minutes before a feared situation.
We rehearse your real fear. The specific meeting. The phone call you keep postponing. The introduction round where everyone speaks and you dread your turn. We run it until it's ordinary.
Who this is for
- Students who freeze in meetings, presentations, or phone calls
- Anyone who has studied English for years but avoids speaking it
- People who can write English well and speak it badly — a classic sign this is confidence, not ability
An honest note
I'm a language teacher and a coach, not a therapist. This lesson deals with everyday nervousness about speaking. If what you're carrying is heavier than that — a panic disorder, or anxiety that affects your whole life — please also speak to a professional. I'll still be glad to work with you on the English side.
You have more English than you think. Let's get it out of you.
