I have a busy schedule. The 'No Homework' rule is a game-changer

 

As a busy Phd student, the 'No Homework' rule is a game-changer. Instead of more assignments, Smart Brain English gave me the confidence to actually speak. This shift didn't just help in my university seminars; it completely transformed my career prospects.

​​I'm finally able to articulate my expertise fluently, and I secured much better job offers from global companies at significantly higher starting salaries than I expected. It’s the most efficient investment I’ve made in my professional future.

I came for the English.

But I stayed for the people. 

 

Moving here for my career was exciting, but also very lonely. Smart Brain English became my weekly 'social and safe space.' It's not a class. The cafe` setting is easy-going.  I finally found people who understood my journey as an international professional. The books and conversations were rich and meaningful.

This newfound confidence didn't just stay in the café—it completely transformed how I show up at work. Since joining, I’ve been able to lead meetings with authority and finally advocate for the promotions my talent deserves.

I noticed the difference on the first day. No stress. No judging.

 

 It’s incredibly difficult to build a professional network in a new country when you’re constantly second-guessing your accent. In this program, everyone is in the same boat, which creates a unique 'brave space' to experiment with language.

I joined the book club and the conversation club, and both were great.

 

I didn’t just improve my fluency; I unlocked the executive presence I needed to lead. By losing the fear of being judged, I gained the confidence to speak up in high-stakes meetings and finally let my expertise—not my accent—be the focus.
