I often hear people say, “I look forward to meet you” when they ought to say, “I look forward to meeting you” if they want to be grammatically correct.

Imagine you get an email saying, “Can’t wait for our chat next week! I look forward to meet you.“

Now, it’s super clear they’re excited, but the grammar’s gone a bit haywire.

It’s like wearing mismatched socks to a fancy dinner. It’s not a big deal! It just stands out.

Swap that “meet” with “meeting” and voilà!:

“Can’t wait for our chat next week! I look forward to meeting you.“

Or even: “Can’t wait for our chat next week! I’m looking forward to meeting you.“*

* In practice, both phrases are widely used and the difference is subtle. The choice between them often comes down to personal preference and the tone you want to convey in your message.

And here a quick reminder:

I’m often asked, “What does a one-to-one session with you look like, Christine?“

This is how I might respond. So only read on if you’re interested!

I believe that real conversations are the key to improving English skills.

I start our session by asking questions to get to know you better. These questions could revolve around your educational background, work history and past experiences.

I encourage your words to flow naturally, without me interrupting or correcting you. Unless, of course, you have a question or need support.

During our conversation, I take notes in the Zoom chat. This allows me to guide you without disrupting your train of thought. I capture essential words and phrases and even offer alternatives or pronunciation help. Are there any grammatical mistakes? These are noted, too. 

We discuss this feedback during our session when the time is right.

Upon request, our sessions can be recorded for you to review at your own pace. This serves as a valuable tool for tracking progress and focusing on areas you need to improve.

You’ll also receive the chat text from our session, a handy resource for further study.

The most exciting part? We engage in real discussions about topics that matter to you—your background, achievements, current work, short- and long-term goals, or any subject you choose to explore.

This is language in action, your gateway to mastering English.

If you’d like to give your English a boost, let’s get together to chat.

Doing good: it is the only vocation that makes us worthy of being here as inhabitants of the world.

Attempting to do good is an act of intelligence before it is a moral duty.

We take our seat at the table of life just as though at a great feast, and in life, as with feasts, we do well if there is the bare minimum for everyone.

And we can all do something. Everyone in keeping with their own talent, in keeping with who they are and what they have, can always make a difference.

Today more than ever, let’s listen to our conscience, let’s roll up our sleeves and do what we were created for.

Andrea Bocelli

The beauty of the message is that it applies to everyone.

We all have our own unique talents and abilities, making us capable of contributing to the betterment of our world.

No matter who we are or what we have, there’s always a way for us to make a positive impact.

It’s a reminder that our individuality is a gift that can shape a brighter future.
