As promised, I wanted to implement some more developing thinking for my ESL learners around the globe (and for my native English speakers who aren't asked these questions at school).
Nourishment is the topic today. It means the things that we need to stay alive, healthy and grow strong.

We're back at some more Modal Verbs and today I want to talk about how often we use these specific ones in terms of telling or advising people to do or not to do something. Different modal verbs express how strongly you feel something should or shouldn't be done.

Passive voice -- one of the most difficult aspects of grammar to learn -- is officially here. I'm very happy to present my writers with this (and especially my IELTS students who are learning how to right a process).
The goal is to do this in baby steps. An introduction, if you will. I don't want to over-saturate you with an insane amount of information like your "normal," historical teachers do. I'm going to show you the basis and put you to work.

Welcome to the first episode of season 3, everyone! This is the intermediate level, so if I speak too fast, I do advise you to go back a level (season 2) so you can practice. I'm excited to bring you some more in-depth pronunciation exercises that will allow you to become a more understandable NON-nes speaker. So, here it is. It's time to listen to some pairs of voiceless and voiced words, then you will take an interactive exercise and post your answers to my facebook page.

WELCOME TO SEASON 3! For those of you who are probably just tuning in for the first time, please make sure you check the blog I posted last night in terms of highlighting what I've already done in Season 2. This season, which is the Intermediate season, will be a little more difficult. I will speak faster than before and will talk about some pretty difficult things, so if it's your first time, I recommend going on Spotify and choose the option (first episode) instead of the most recent. Go from the Elementary level and work your way up.

This was one of the best conversations I've had in a long time. Kyara, who's from Mexico, talked about some funny things, shared some wonderful locations to travel, and talked about her English language learning wisdom. Here's the podcast and show notes!

Yes! We're getting into the bulk of it now. It's time to learn how to make comparisons. When comparing information, especially on your Writing Task 1, it's very important that you use a range of structures to make comparisons. When you compare bar graphs, you can often fall below the 150 word mark because you're lacking comparisons -- kind of like when you do a map. Here are some examples.

This is my official rebrand.
My journey as a TOEFL iBT coach has come to a powerful close, and with it, the era of TOEFL-focused podcasts. What began as a mission to help students pass…
Welcome to the next chapter: High Performance Coaching.
This journey didn’t begin today. It began on January 3rd, 2016, when I made a decision that would forever change the trajectory of my life. Immersing myself in Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success, Jack Canfield’s Success Principles, and Lisa Nichols’ Abundance Now, I found the mindset and tools that helped me rise above the vehement and relentless racial discrimination I faced in this country. Those challenges did not break me — they built me.
In 2017, I made one of the most courageous decisions of my life: I walked away from a toxic job at New Education World in Future Park Rangsit. That leap of faith led to the creation of this very podcast on March 27th, 2018.
From ESL beginnings to TOEFL iTP episodes in 2019, and eventually into the TOEFL iBT space, what followed was an unbelievable 5.5-year journey. I built my own online business from the ground up and helped propel hundreds — perhaps even thousands — of students toward success. Watching others achieve their dreams became one of the greatest honors of my life.
But growth demands evolution.
As the TOEFL episodes began to slow, something remarkable happened — my coaching episodes surged. More listeners tuned in. More lives were impacted. The message was clear: this is where I am meant to go next.
High performance is no longer just something I teach — it is the life I live.
Later this year, I will take another major step forward by earning my license from Burke and Isobel in South Africa to become a licensed transformation coach. Soon after, I will continue my expansion through the High Performance Coaching program with Brendon Burchard.
Because this mission is not about helping someone pass a test.
It’s about helping people redesign their lives.
It’s about resilience, courage, reinvention, and stepping into the person you were always meant to become.
And now — you are stepping into this new phase with me.
At some point, there will be programs and products designed to accelerate your growth. But first, I am committed to becoming the very best transformation coach I can possibly be — because you deserve nothing less.
If you feel called to grow…
If you are ready to challenge your limits…
If you know you are meant for more…
You are in the right place.
Leave a like, subscribe, send fan mail, and even consider supporting the podcast — and most importantly, embark with me on this unbelievable journey.
This is only the beginning.
