Neurolanguage Coaching®

Neurolanguage coaching® is a new and innovative technique for learning languages created by Rachel Marie Paling. I like to term it the YOU way to learn.

Are you feeling a little stuck and unsure in your language learning process? Have you tried different ways and methods but nothing seems to work long term? Maybe you’re frustrated with your lack of progress? Neurolanguage coaching® could be what you need to help you on your way.

Watch the short video below which explains it in more detail.

Feel overwhelmed by language learning? You want to overcome your fears and inhibitions? You may need to try language coaching.

Neurolanguage coaching® helps you discover YOUR best way of learning language. YOU are the one who curates and leads the way. You don’t need books or hours spent pouring over grammar exercises (unless you like that kind of thing!) There is no set syllabus. With Neurolanguage coaching® you will discover brain-friendly, tailor-made sessions which you and I design together to align with your own specific objectives that YOU will set. As your coach, I will help you determine these objectives and the various ways in which you will meet them. I will transfer my knowledge of the language to you but only because your brain is being stimulated and strong connections are being made. By looking at neuroscience and using coaching techniques, together, we will find the most efficient, fast and cost-effective way for you to learn, remember and ultimately use the target language. You design the goals, choose the vehicles used to reach those goals and you decide the time frame in which you want to do this.

Groups of up to 4 people are also possible. The process is the same, but here, the onus is on a collective team spirit. This type of learning is enormously satisfying and can be great fun. Sharing your experience with others can enhance learning and give you confidence as an individual. Contact me for more details.

The Neurolanguage coaching® process with Active in Learning – how it works in 3 easy steps:

 

STEP 1. Fill out the tell me more form :

This is how you contact me to make an appointment.

STEP 2. The Free Diagnostics Session – here we will:

  • Look at your main motivation for learning the language
  • Design initial mechanical and mastery objectives to base our programme around
  • Designate activities and tools to be used in order to reach these objectives
  • Evaluate your commitment to learning and establish an achievable time frame

STEP 3. The Written Proposal:

I’ll send you an email with a detailed programme and price. You then accept this offer, book in your session dates with me and I send you a link to pay.

Let me help you uncover the mysteries of your brain in the language learning process, remove those blocks that are preventing you from effectively learning and most of all discover the joy, fulfillment and satisfaction that learning a new language can bring.

I’m so excited to get started with you on this amazing journey. 

A bientôt, Karen

Neurolanguage coaching® is an innovative, fresh approach to language learning. This method is considered to be “brain friendly” where the coach helps the client get into the right mindset and creates a learning environment where language acquisition can happen. It's a mix of language teaching using coaching techniques and neuroscience based theories around how we learn. It is learner focused, you are the one who is the master of the session, not the coach. The coach is there to help stimulate your brain to learn in the most efficient way possible.

In Neurolanguage coaching® you are the master of your learning. With your coach you determine what you want to learn, with what tools and for how long. Laying out specific objectives helps you focus on your essential language needs and progress much faster as you learn in much more manageable "chunks" which are easier for the brain to absorb. Frequent check-ins on progression and how you are feeling about your learning enable us to constantly stay focused on the goals set. As James Redfield famously said: "Where attention goes, energy flows"!

If you are looking to seriously improve your language skill and are willing to embrace a new, alternative method which is different from the classic teacher-student style then this is for you.

If you find you have blockages or feel intimidated by the language, this is for you.

If you find that you have tried lots of different ways to learn and still don't feel you are progressing, this is for you!

In a nutshell, the Neurolanguage coach®:

 *Focuses on the individual and their goals

*Does not follow a set method

*Looks objectively at the obstacles you experience and aids you in their resolution

*Actively listens, allowing the client to set the pace whilst maintaining focus on the goals

*Engages the coachee in relaxed learning activities aimed at progression

After an initial free consultation with the coach where motivation is established and goals and objectives are clearly set out,  the coach will design a programme within a time frame for achievable learning.

A contract is then drawn up and sessions are booked and paid for. This way you show your commitment to your language journey and progression and have a much higher rate of success.

In addition, if you are interested in joining one of my groups, to learn with other likeminded people, I would love to hear from you. I offer Beginner Plus (A0/A1) and Intermediate (A2/B1) levels. The difference with these groups, compared to my Coffee Break Learning groups is that here, group members rarely change, to allow you all to develop together.
