Master the unwritten rules of American workplace communication

It's not a language problem—it's a workplace communication problem.
And it's solvable.
Communication skills that lead to promotions, not just proficiency
I'm Nicole, a certified ESOL teacher with 12 years of corporate experience in HR and IT support, and 14 years teaching international students and professionals across China, Korea, Mexico, and Brunei.
That combination—corporate experience + teaching expertise—is what makes my approach different. I know what American workplaces expect because I worked in them for over a decade. And I know how to teach these skills because I've been doing it for 14 years.
I don't just teach English. I teach the unwritten rules of American workplace communication that nobody explains but everyone expects you to know.
