How Big is YOUR Apple Tree?

Make small changes to habits now to enrich your?future

My daughter just brought home a small bag of apples from a tree I planted in her dad’s (otherwise bare) garden whilst I was pregnant with her.

I’ve not seen that tree for 6 years, but it has been growing all the time?she has grown.?

I’m already?happy that the tree has been part of the landscape of her childhood.?

It's a bonus that this year it produced enough fruit to share.

As you know,?I’m an English language teacher and coach.?

Ordinarily, I deal with less tangible results than,?‘this year I grew 18 apples’.

In my field, although progress?is?measurable, success ranges from using exactly the right expression at the right moment - to getting your dream job.?

I don’t often hear about the successes. (Some of them will be years after I worked with you), but I do love knowing that past students are all around the world, building their careers, and expressing themselves about their artwork, with language tools I helped them aquire.

During my time in France, I taught many art students English. I taught specific words and expressions for their futures, I set collaborative projects in which they had to create in English. I shared my passion for certain international artists and designers and asked them to present their own inspirations and influences.?

That's the reward of teaching: I am still part of who they became as artists and creatives.

Everyone has their English 'apple tree’ growing within them.?

If it’s a mature, healthy one you’ll be enjoying using English (and even enjoying?tending to it). It will be dropping fruit all over the place although you'll not even be consciously thinking about it much. That tree’s a glorious part of who you are, deep inside you. Remember to love it, look after it - and be grateful for it, because good teachers, opportunities and your hard work in the past made it happen.

If your tree is struggling to take root, if it’s in a tiny, dusty pot all forgotten about and uncared for, I?won't judge you - and?I can help.

I’ll be many things on your English language journey, a guide, a friend - a motivator. Most?of all, I’ll help you love that little tree of yours. You'll want to see it flourish. ?

It's that simple. If you can care for your tree now, you’ll have a bountiful future.

By fitting just 20 minutes of English learning into your day, you'll have completely different future opportunities.?
