Course: IELTS Preparation

Thanks to Robyn I took the IELTS test at the British Council in Milan and I managed to reach the score that I wanted. She always helped me in improving my english, but she's also a brilliant, interesting and interested person - and I would say a friend - to discuss with every subject and topic.

Corso: Business Communications

Ho saputo di Robyn da amici e ho deciso di prendere lezioni di inglese/servizi di comunicazione inglese/coaching per migliorare il mio inglese e per affrontare nuove sfide professionali con l’aiuto di una persona che si è rivelata molto, molto più di un English teacher.

Risultati assolutamente raggiunti. Robyn per me è una consulente a 360° che si cala nel problema e negli obiettivi da raggiungere in maniera veramente efficace. Consiglierei un corso di Inglese o di Coaching con Robyn a chiunque deve affrontare un ostacolo professionale e ha bisogno di un aiuto e dei consigli altamente qualificati.

Giulia Tavarnesi: Business English and IELTS Preparation

Ho conosciuto Robyn attraverso una mia collega che sapeva del mio interesse a migliorare la lingua.

Inizialmente volevo semplicemente migliorare la mia capacità di ascolto e parlare più fluentemente, ma grazie al suo aiuto sono riuscita a focalizzare le nostre lezioni sul sostenimento di un esame IELTS.

Oggi per lavoro ho la possibilità di relazionarmi con 6 Paesi esteri e, grazie anche a lei, di non sentirmi in imbarazzo di fronte a training o meeting in lingua inglese.

Ma ciò che maggiormente le riconosco è stata la sua grandissima capacità di sapermi leggere dentro e di capire che il mio più grande problema era l'insicurezza. Oltre che una bravissima insegnante d'inglese, Robyn è senza dubbio una grande guida che riesce ad incoraggiarti, aiutarti, ma soprattutto a stimolarti per il raggiungimento del tuo obiettivo.

Martina Antonacci: IELTS Preparation & Conversation

Ho saputo di Robyn attraverso un mio caro amico che mi ha girato il suo numero dopo aver saputo che volevo trovare qualcuno con cui fare pratica. Ho deciso di prendere lezioni di inglese perché volevo migliorare il mio livello molto basico e riuscire ad essere più fluente.

Grazie a Robyn sono molto più confidente con la lingua e ho scoperto nuovi interessi grazie alle sue lezioni inoltre quando capita riesco ad interfacciarmi con gli altri usando l’inglese, cosa che prima facevo fatica a fare data la mia enorme timidezza.

Il fattore unico delle lezioni con Robyn è la sua grande capacità nel capire cosa ti interessa e trasformarlo in occasioni per poter imparare la lingua. Inoltre ha una grande capacità di ascolto e sa mettere le persone a proprio agio senza farle sentire in difetto.

Consiglierei a tutti un corso con Robyn perché ci sa fare con le persone, sia che tu voglia imparare da zero sia che tu voglia migliorare il tuo inglese. Molti dei miei amici fanno o hanno fatto lezioni di inglese con lei e sono tutti molto soddisfatti del percorso. Io, per esempio, ho consigliato questo corso anche al mio papà.

Service: Business documentation editing, proof-reading and copy-writing

UBSOUND frequently engages Anima Mundi English to give the final check to many of its social media posts, campaign launch wording and product description documentation. Our Chief Operating Officer Clara Profeta and I find Robyn to be efficient, attentive and professional in all of our interactions and she is able to understand the character and the objectives of the company and the messages it aims to convey to its clients. We would recommend to any business who wishes to convey a message to their English speaking clients to get in touch with Robyn as she will listen closely to the message you wish to convey, and find the best way to express that in English so that the essence and character of your business or product is not lost in translation. Lastly, in my humble opinion, on a MARCOM perspective, I think that if you need a clear, powerful and correct message to be shared worldwide, it should be in English first and, furthermore, it “must” be perfect, otherwise it’s not an investment, therefore engaging a native speaker with the knowledge and experience of the type of language required in your industry to proof-read your documentation and marketing material is essential.

Latifa, Austria/Bahrain.

Course: Teacher Training assistance

Hi, I’m Latifa! I’m also an English teacher and whilst I was getting my CELTA teaching certificate in Milan at the British Council, I reached out to Robyn for some help.

The course I was doing was extremely intense and I felt so overwhelmed with all the lesson plans and writing assignments that I had to do. Robyn was my saviour! She came over to my apartment a few times and spent long nights helping me edit my work, organize my thoughts, and create clear outlines, which made writing my assignments so much easier. She helped clarify things I had missed in class and calmed me so much! I was so nervous throughout those three months and barely got any sleep, but Robyn was there to take care of me and I will forever be grateful for all the time she put in to get me through those months. I ended up passing with flying colors and I am so very thankful for her help.

Robyn is an incredible person; lively, energetic, motivating, inspiring, and positive! She’s hard working, dedicated, always on time and someone you can definitely count on without a doubt! Not only is she an enthusiastic English grammar nerd, but she is also someone who will be there for you no matter what... much much more than just a teacher! I have learned SO much from her; about English grammar, teaching, and life in general :-)

Giada, Italian.

Course: IELTS exam preparation

I'm Giada, I'm 22 and I'm Italian. I took the IELTS test in March, and thankfully a friend of mine gave me Robyn's contact so that I could have English lessons with her.

I decided to take the IELTS test for some masters' applications and I was very short of time. Since I only had one chance, my main goal was to get a minimum score of 6.5 in every section. I contacted Robyn as I wanted to be prepared properly for this specific exam and now I can say that I'm more than satisfied with my result, my scores exceeded my expectations.

Thanks to the successful result that I achieved in just one month with Robyn, my confidence in English has improved a lot as well as my fluency. I would recommend Robyn to everyone who is trying to learn English or to those people who already have a good level of English but want to improve and acquire more confidence. Chatting in English now and then helps you to keep your brain trained, don't let yourself get rusty!

Alessia and Andrea, Italian.

Courses: IELTS and personal coaching

Hello there. Our names are Alessia and Andrea, respectively 29 and 31 years old.
We are Italian, but both have been living in Sydney for nearly 5 years. When Andrea and I first landed in Sydney had no clue how to speak English. In order to be able to apply for a temporary visa here in Australia, Andrea had the obligation of succeeding in the IELTS test with an overall 6 band or 5.5 in each part.
Andrea signed up for an English course and got to meet Robyn as his teacher.

Robyn helped Andrea through the way showing professionalism and competence throughout the whole course. She provided Andrea with extremely good teachings on how to make the most out of the course in as little time as possible. He found Robyn to be a knowledgeable and dedicated teacher with valuable and up-to-date information. Thanks to her, Andrea scored 6 in each part of the IELTS at the first try after just a year of being in Australia. Ultimately, we applied for the visa we needed which allowed us to live in Australia for all this time.

In relation to my personal experience, listening to Andrea’s testimonial, I contacted Robyn for some personal coaching as I had been finding it hard to figure out my potential career possibilities. Robyn was extremely patient and helpful, she not only gave me some great advice, but also boosted my self-esteem in a way that no one ever did for me.

I can assure you, Robyn will go out of her way to help you achieve your goals. Localising my future prospects, I decided to begin to study for Academic IELTS which would enable me to enter English-oriented Universities.

I have only had a few lessons with her via Skype, but absolutely loved them and am aiming to take a few more in the near future before taking up the test.

To conclude, I think very highly of Robyn personally as well as professionally and I strongly recommend her to anyone aiming to take an IELTS Test or many other English-related courses.

Cheers
Alessia

Course: Business English

I contacted Robyn because I was done with having my desire to speak English just an intention, and then complaining about the fact that I couldn’t achieve certain things because of my ‘lack of English’. So, I finally decided to do something about it, have been taking weekly classes (comprehensive package). Now this dream has become a reality and the things I would like to do seem like a real possibility. I would recommend Robyn because she is a great teacher and very professional. She makes you feel really comfortable during the conversation classes and then finds you the texts and exercises that are personally useful and interesting for you to complete during the week.

Robyn is wonderful woman and excellent teacher. I contacted her to learn English and now I wish to continue to achieve my goal of improving my English for my business. I would recommend Robyn to anyone.

Eduardo Finger / 36 yo / Australia

Course: Communications Coaching / Personal Coaching

Robyn used to teach English to my partner when she first came to Australia. My initial goal was to improve my English (business) and my communications skills. I certainly achieved my goal, and moved straight on to Personal Coaching with Robyn - to help me find direction, reach my potential and overall wellbeing. I would recommend Robyn to anyone who generally wants to improve their English, students who strive to pass on English exams, professionals who are willing to enhance their communication skills, or anyone who needs guidance on achieving personal or career goals.

Angelica, 25 years old, Italy.

Course: IELTS

I was planning to go to do a master in Netherlands and I needed a minimum IELTS grade to access the university. A friend recommended I contact Robyn for IELTS exam preparation classes.

I successfully achieved my goal and I can happily say that this was also thanks to Robyn, her help was really precious to me and she gave me the right advice and tools to take on the exam. Now I have been studying for one year in the Netherlands. :)

I would really recommend Robyn, she is really good in understanding your weak points and give you the right advice. Moreover I personally always felt very at ease with her and this made my English improve very fast.

Sara, 23, Italy

Course: IELTS exam preparation.

I heard about Robyn through a friend. I wanted to apply for Master’s Degrees abroad, and the IELTS test was always required in every university.

After passing my IELTS test, I could finally apply for Master’s Degrees in UK, Holland and Spain, which was my goal.
I would recommend Robyn to those that already have a quite good level of English and need help to understand how the exam works. Robyn explained to me in a very clear way what I was supposed to write and say, helped me in refreshing and improving my grammar knowledge and my vocabulary, and always gave me very sincere comments/feedback on my work.

She also pushed me and supported me a lot during out-of-class time together (which was something I really needed), so that I could actually understand what I was doing well and I could focus on my weaknesses. I really appreciated her positive attitude.

Angelica PET Exam preparation

Abbiamo scoperto Robyn casualmente navigando su Internet e abbiamo deciso di contattarla per preparare mia figlia per l'esame Cambridge Pet B1. Da subito Angelica si è trovata molto bene, Robyn è professionale, stimolante, divertente e mette subito a proprio agio. Il materiale che propone è pensato con cura in base alle esigenze e caratteristiche dello studente e sa come strutturare il percorso in maniera efficace in modo da raggiungere l'obiettivo.

Mia figlia ha sostenuto l'esame con successo e e le è stato conferito il livello B2.

Nonostante avessimo soddisfatto l'obiettivo (anzi, superato) abbiamo deciso di proseguire il percorso didattico con Robyn, sicuri di aver scelto l'insegnante giusta.

La consiglio a chiunque abbia determinazione ed esigenze di qualsiasi genere perchè credo sia altamente qualificata e preparata.

Orsa, Italian: IELTS Course

I met Robyn through a friend in common at a time when I needed to prepare myself for the IELTS test. Furthermore, I wanted to practice and improve my English as well. I succeeded the test. Furthermore, the improvements I did in English helped me a lot while I was travelling in Canada that year.

Robyn made me feel comfortable to speak a foreign language. I really like her teaching style, it's very practical. In fact, she was not overwhelming me with tons of grammar rules. Rather, she was providing me with a well-calibrated and concise amount of theory material with the idea of making me practice it through a lot of conversation during the class and writing exercises for home. I also like the fact that for the classes we were meeting in some nice cafes around the city. Therefore, during her lectures I was not experiencing the typical oppressive feeling of formal/conventional English classes.

I would recommend Robyn to everyone who wants to practice/improve their English because of her unique teaching style.
