Testimonials

I really enjoyed working with Barbara. I’ve seen a significant improvement in my English fluency throughout the “Think in English" Immersion Program, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their professional English speaking skills.

I had the pleasure of working with Barbara as my executive English speaking coach, and I am extremely satisfied with the experience. Barbara was instrumental in helping me master proper pause and pacing techniques, which greatly improved my communication skills. I especially appreciated her guidance on how to stress words appropriately, making my speech more impactful.

The personalized plan she developed within The Empowerment Pathway Program to enhance my grammar was excellent and tailored to my specific needs. She was proactive in identifying areas for improvement and created targeted strategies to address my weaknesses. Barbara was always supportive, diligently provided constructive feedback, and consistently encouraged my progress.

Overall, Barbara is an excellent mentor—highly knowledgeable, approachable, and truly dedicated to my success. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their executive English speaking skills.

Transitioning to life in Canada presented its unique set of challenges, particularly in mastering daily life English and understanding the cultural nuances. What truly sets Mrs. De Wit apart is her professionalism, flexibility, and remarkable ability to adapt lessons to the individual's needs. Moreover, Mrs. De Wit was instrumental in helping me 'cross bridges' when dealing with clients. Her focused training improved my English communication skills significantly, paying particular attention to enunciation and pronunciation. This was especially helpful with the common terminology used in my field, enhancing my confidence and professionalism in client interactions.. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their grasp of English, cultural fluency, and conversational skills.

Excellent communication coach! Her personalized program can help you improve your communication at work. Practicing with role plays and the topics are very interesting. Barb is very organized with your Google Classroom. She is very committed to helping you with your goals. Highly recommended!

It was great working with Barb on a 1-on-1 Empowerment Program for 12 weeks. Each week, Barb designed the lessons around my areas of focus, addressing my communication weaknesses and improving confidence. This isn't a regular English course with fixed curriculum. It's personal coaching. Barb is very supportive and patient with me, both emotionally and professionally throughout the course. It's like you have a personal trainer who knows you, works with you for a while, and eventually builds strength for you to continue learning and improving even when the course ends. I recommend the course. It feels more fun now when I can communicate with more clarity =)

I highly recommend Barb. She is an outstanding teacher with deep knowledge and extensive experience working with students of all backgrounds. Barb has helped me significantly improve my communication skills, not only in casual conversations, but also in professional and business settings, including discussions and meetings with executives and C-level leaders. By applying her insights, feedback, tips, and strategies, I was able not only to improve my communication and pronunciation, but also to deliver clear, impactful conversations and build stronger relationships that elevated my presence and the way others perceive me. Barb takes the time to prepare for each class and tailor the content according to the student and their needs, as one size doesn’t fit all. I found these customized lessons to be highly practical and effective, allowing me to focus on the areas I most wanted and needed to improve. Thanks to Barb's guidance, I was able to improve my communication, build confidence, and leave a lasting impression with my words and presence.

I had the experience of preparing myself in speaking and writing with Barb to take my Celpip exam, I needed to improve these skills. It was several months of preparation that paid off. Barb was very patient with me, what I appreciated the most was her flexibility to adapt to my schedule, she provided me with materials to reinforce those areas of improvement, which allowed me to feel more confident the day of the exam. As we discussed on one occasion. Nothing can replace human warmth when it comes to teaching, it makes all the difference.

I had the opportunity to have group and individual lessons with Barbara. My needs were specifically in job interviews, resume and cover letter.
