FAQ   Frequently Asked Questions

When I started to develop our websites I wanted to provide useful information to my students and others.    All sccessful websites are designed to have specific actions the website wants to you take and leads you there.  

So starting with a name "Speak English Today" we were 'born'.   I wanted to have a blog so "Speak English Today Blog came into being.   Students began asking for online courses and so "Improve at Speak English Today" was developed.    Then we began to help students with "F1 Visa Interviews"  

As those who know me can tell you I teach all the time in classes.  All ages, all kinds, everywhere and I have to say I love my busy and a bit crazy schedule.  

My dream has always been to make the websites really helpful n order to reach even more people because I see some of the techniques I use work so well.  Students begin to really understand and speak English and become better and better.  

The unfortunate thing that has occured is that because I did not start with a purpose to sell things and lead visitors in an organized manner, the sites are confusing and can be difficult to find what your looking for....I am sorry.   I am trying to organize things in a way people can find information easier.  Pleae contact me to answer any questions.  I answer every question I get in a timely manner.   Thanks for being part of the community.  Any suggestions are welcome!

It is impossile to identify what went wrong or what you should do with email questions.  

Please think about taking the 214(b) Rejection Analysis Course.

You may want to  to start over with a new application and be successful.

Purchase and do our mini Rejection Analysis Course to determine some or all of your Fatal Errors.  It is currently only $27 and the best way to inform of of your situation and get my opinion on your case.

After that consider starting over and doing it all the right way.  I will help you and have many free resources for you to learn.  I also have made great courses to teach you how to do the F1 Visa the right way.

 These include applying to schols for free, or almost free, everything about money, the Mock F1 Interview and others.   

I teach a very effective method of using diagrams and outlines for a topic.  Then this is used to study that topic.  The outlines are useful for speaking aprt 1, 2, and 3, and writing part 2.  This method is pretty amazing.  I also help you understand exacty what the examiners are looking for so you can get a high band score.  

I will tell you what I think your chances are of getting an F1 Visa during our studying.  I will identify any problems you must fix.  I will help you study and prepare your best answers.  

 I can't change your conditions or choices of where to apply or live.  These have a huge influence on whether you can pass or not.

  If students are accepted and enroll in our premium program, we guarantee that we will work with them until they get a visa and are studying abroad.

 No other F1 Visa Services guarantee an F1 Visa.

Credit cards, Pay Pal, Bank Transfers (if your country allows) are all possible through our secure websites.  We use Stripe and PayPal which are two of the biggest and most trustworthy payment gateways in the world used by millions of sites.

We work with companies, governments, NGO, hospitals, public schools, universities and anyone who wants to improve English.

Yes.  I have developed specific curriculum and courses for young learners, hospitals, oil companies, electric companies, governments, public schools, airlines, universities.....  

I love this, I want to do more of it, and I am available.  Now I am very busy at the university and with contracts so I must make a plan at least 2-3 months in advance outside of South East Asia.  If you have an opportunity, please contact me, I love it!

It can be very expensive and have few good results.  Or, it can be free and have great results.  The best way is to use English and practice.  Then ask for help for specific improvements that you need.  

Learning a language takes effort and practice. 

 It is very expensive if you expect someone to teach it to you.  

It is inexpensive if you try and learn it actively.

Ha Ha, if you knew me in person you wouldn't ask.  I have a good understanding of what people need to become better and form good learning attitudes.

  I have proven effective methods I use that have worked for students in the past every time.

 I don't teach fluency, or things that can not be learned easily and measured soon after learning.  I teach things that can be learned, used and tested fast.  Of course it all leads to fluency.

 I do an example when students say they want to speak fluently which cant be measured although band scores try.  I show them two  bills. Then I  put 1 dollar and a larger bull behind my back. I tell them I am going to give them money.  I ask them which money am I going to give them and pull out the $1 and the $20.  It is impossible to tell. Both are money.

 It is very important for me to give you something that is exactly as I say and that you want and helps you.  Not some dreamy thing like being able to communicate. I will teach you how to communcate about a specific topic or useful situation.
