As a German junior researcher in the humanities with global English as the lingua franca, I benefit from Whitney Garner’s advice and didactical skills each time I have to write an English text or prepare for a presentation. Our greatest success until now is being invited to an international conference in Paris based on an extraordinarily long summary of my proposal. What I remember quite positively about preparing it is the creative process between the two of us via Internet and telephone while I was finishing the summary and she checked through it: writing in a foreign language should never be a lonely business! I can recommend her without any reservations.

Through the coaching with Whitney Garner, I was able to successfully pass my GRE exam and prepare the application process for my international Master studies in Political Science and Diplomacy abroad.
Furthermore, with online coaching, she helped me to become confident especially regarding my future work for the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
She has managed to help me develop my English communication skills, so I now feel very comfortable in expressing myself while speaking English in academic, social and in professional atmospheres.
I would definitely recommend Whitney Garner because she has great empathy and is a good listener. She approached my language barriers from different angles and by that she was able to identify the roots of my language challenges and help me solve them. She was very flexible towards my learning style and developed methods to suit my person and mind.

Whitney was highly skilled in creating a very pleasant working environment by immediately understanding my needs. Her valuable comments on the structure and terminology of my speech helped me significantly improve my presentation skills. She did an expert job of individual coaching, thereby enabling me to debate confidently both on scientific approaches and matters of public concern. Her professional competence to easily identify and work attentively on my language deficits contributed to further improving my English, thereby giving me the opportunity to successfully develop my academic career. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Whitney for being a brilliant English coach.

I contacted Whitney to improve my speaking skills since I was accomplishing important steps in my scientific career (for example presentations on international conferences, application for a scientific program). For these important steps, Whitney offered the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking skills and work on my specific questions. I was very comfortable with Whitney and improved my skills quickly. Hence, I successfully finished my career steps.
