    Conversation in English through Positive Psychology

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    What are the sessions about?

    The sessions are to work on conversation in English through topics and content of psychology, well-being and self-help. The presentation is designed so that the person shares their comments on several occasions and elaborates responses using common vocabulary, improving conversation, fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The content is on positive psychology topics, where tools for life are acquired through information and reflection exercises. Breathing techniques, mindfulness, gratitude, habits, resilience, flow state, resistance to change, and more are mentioned and used.

    Why use positive psychology content?

    According to several studies, including a study conducted by Cambridge in 2022, the best method to learn a language is through immersion (exposure and engagement). This means that when we learn topics or activities that interest us, the brain activates the prefrontal cortex, the striatum, the limbic system, and the hippocampus, which are the areas of long-term memory, motivation, concentration, reward, and emotional experience. These functions together create greater receptivity to new information. It is about talking about topics that motivate and interest us to enhance learning. They are also life tools that benefit us all. The more a person opens up to talking and reflecting on their personal experiences, whether positive or negative, the more they will be able to handle life's difficulties and improve their well-being.


    What level should I be at?

    Once you understand the written and/or spoken language, and can say the basics, we can start working. It doesn't matter if your level is basic, since that's exactly what the sessions are for. When you try to create a statement with interesting content, the areas of the brain that promote learning are activated. Here, through the chat, pronunciation and grammar are corrected, new vocabulary is added, and the correct way to say what is desired is taught. The person is asked to repeat the statement "correctly" and that's how learning takes place.

    How long will it take to see changes?

    The time varies for each person, as it depends on their initial level, and if the method is compatible with their way of learning. It is recommended to evaluate if this method is suitable for you, after the first session. However, due to previous experience with people at a basic - intermediate level, changes in fluency are seen from the first two or three sessions. From the first or second session you will notice more comfort when speaking and listening to the language.


    What mental health benefits can I get from sessions other than language?

    The sessions are taught by a clinical psychologist trained in positive psychology and other therapy methods. Some of them can be used in the sessions. The topics covered encourage conversations about personal life, and only if it is of interest to the person, can they delve into it and use this space to work on certain topics through psychological guidance. Additionally, information supported by scientific evidence will be provided, on tools for greater emotional well-being based on positive psychology, and reflection on mental and personal habits will be encouraged.

    Important: This is NOT, nor does it seek to replace, psychological therapy. Issues that require further exploration and/or external help will be referred to a therapy or a professional as appropriate.

    By what means can I take the session and how many frequencies do I need?

    Most sessions are via Zoom. The teacher will send you the link via WhatsApp or email and at the time of your session you can access it via a device. It is recommended once a week if the session is individual. You will notice that they are very complete and you may be a little tired after the session, if you are not very familiar with the language. If the session is in a group of two or more people, it can be once or twice a week. We will talk about many interpersonal topics in the session and we may follow up during the week by sharing relevant content via WhatsApp and voice notes, also in English for both parties to continue practicing fluency and vocabulary. It can be in person in Monterrey, Nuevo León in groups of 3 or more, or within the Republic for workshops.

    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    I am an English teacher and clinical psychologist with over 13 years of experience combining language teaching with personal development. Throughout my career, I have discovered how learning a new language is not only about acquiring language skills, but about transforming the way we think and relate to the world. This is why I created Speak Feel Grow, a unique project that fuses English conversation classes with positive psychology principles, offering a transformative educational experience for adults.

    As a native English and Spanish speaker, and with a background in both pedagogy and psychology, I have designed a comprehensive approach to learning English, which not only focuses on improving fluency and comprehension, but also on strengthening my students' confidence, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. I use language immersion techniques in a safe and positive environment, where students can practice English without fear of making mistakes, while working on their personal development.

    My methodology is based on the principle that learning a language should be a meaningful and motivating experience, so through my classes I not only seek to improve your level of English, but also help you feel more confident and motivated to communicate confidently in any situation.

    I am also a practicing clinical psychologist, which allows me to understand the emotional barriers that many people face when learning a language, such as anxiety, insecurity or lack of motivation. Through my approach to positive psychology, I help my students overcome these obstacles, manage their emotions effectively and enjoy the learning process.

    If you are looking to not only improve your English, but also experience personal growth as you advance in your fluency, my classes are for you. I invite you to join me and start enjoying the experience of learning English in a more positive, effective and transformative way.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    I am Claudia, an English teacher and clinical psychologist, with over 13 years of experience combining teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) with positive psychology principles for personal development. I have worked in different educational contexts, both in Mexico and abroad, which has allowed me to understand and address the diverse needs of students of different ages and cultural backgrounds.

    My experience includes:

    English Teacher at the Irish Institute of Monterrey (2018-2023): For five years, I taught English as a foreign language and served as a primary school teacher. I implemented innovative pedagogical approaches, such as collaborative and project-based learning, using advanced educational technology to create an immersive environment that optimized student motivation and learning.

    Founder and leader of ": In addition to my teaching career, I founded and lead my own project focused on English conversation classes for adults. In this project, I combine positive psychology with language learning, creating a space where students can practice English while developing confidence and emotional well-being.

    Clinical Psychologist: As a practicing clinical psychologist, I work with individuals to help them overcome emotional barriers, such as anxiety and self-doubt, that often interfere with language learning. My approach focuses on promoting personal growth and emotional well-being through science-based psychological techniques.

    Certifications and Academic Training

    Throughout my career, I have trained and certified in various areas that complement my educational and psychological approach. Some of my main certifications include:

    TESOL Certification (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages): This certification has allowed me to obtain a solid foundation in teaching English as a second language, providing me with effective pedagogical tools to teach students from diverse cultures and levels.

    Certification in Positive Psychology: I obtained this certification to integrate principles of positive psychology into my educational practice, improving the motivation and emotional well-being of my students while they learn English.

    Master's Degree in Clinical and Health Psychology (in progress): I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Clinical and Health Psychology at ISEP (Higher Institute of Psychological Studies), which allows me to continue deepening my psychological training and apply more effective therapeutic and personal development approaches in the educational context.

    Educational Focus

    My approach is comprehensive and personalized, as I believe that language learning should go beyond the acquisition of vocabulary and grammar. Through my classes, students not only improve their fluency in English, but also develop confidence, self-compassion, and emotional skills that allow them to learn more effectively and enjoy the process.

    My goal is to provide a safe and motivating space where students can overcome the emotional blocks that often arise when learning a language. Thanks to my training and experience in psychology, I help my students manage anxiety, improve their self-esteem and achieve more meaningful and lasting learning.

    Gain confidence in speaking English with complete immersion
    English is falsely presented as an easy language, especially by French speakers. This is a serious mistake! While French is often difficult because of the many grammatical exceptions, particularly regarding spelling, English is endowed with immense complexity in terms of its sounds. Whereas the French speaker complains about itchy eyes, the English speaker will have difficulty hearing you, and no, it's not snobbery; their ear has been educated in a more subtle way. The greatest difficulties in English come from its chaotic sounds, which at first seem absurd or even useless, while they are proof of the many influences and transformations of this language, which has become the de facto lingua franca almost everywhere on the planet. To simplify, English is the result of a Germanic invasion of Celtic lands, Latinized by Vikings speaking Old French from Normandy. The syntax is originally Germanic, but the auxiliary verb do is Celtic, and more than half of its vocabulary is Latin or French! In short, English is much more complex and subtle than it seems, and it's not for nothing that most French speakers pronounce it badly!

Many courses focus only on linguistic competence (grammar exercises), but communication involves so many other competences, including discourse competence (structuring and connecting your ideas); sociolinguistic and pragmatic competence (politeness strategies; using tact to discuss difficult situations; influencing; persuading etc); and strategic competence (using strategies to help maintain clear and fluent communication when you don ́t know the ideal way to express your ideas). I also specialise in listening skills and strategies, such as developing phonological awareness to help develop your ability to process fast speech. Other specialisms include pronunciation, with objective to help not only clear and fluent speech, but to aid listening ability too.
