Word4word English
Stop freezing. Start feeling at home in English.
For adults who understand the basics, but want to express
themselves more naturally in real life, without overthinking.
Hello, I'm Michelle... and I used to be "Quiet Michelle"
When I moved from Canada to Portugal, I had zero Portuguese. I suddenly found myself silent in social situations...not because I didn't have anything to say, but because I couldn't say it.
Now, I help intermediate learners express themselves in English with more clarity and self-trust.
My coaching is warm, real, and focused on everyday use.
Together, through The Four Pathways, we build clarity, awareness, and steady progress. Step by step, English starts to feel more natural and more yours.
These pathways are the foundation of everything I teach and coach inside Word4Word.
They guide the way we learn, practice, and reflect, always with awareness, purpose, and real connection.

Presence
Start from awareness.
Notice your patterns and build trust in your voice.
purpose
practice
Use what you know.
Bring English into everyday moments.

The language begins to work for you, not against you.
That's where we begin, together.
How we can work together
Together in English
A calm, supportive monthly membership for adults who want to use English naturally in real life, not just study it.
Inside you'll find small, guided ways to practice English in daily life through voice tasks, writing, and reflection. You'll connect with others, share ideas, and notice your own progress one step at a time.
This is steady, real-world practice with coaching support to help you stay consistent, feel more natural, and speak with self-trust.
Because progress feels lighter when you don't do it alone.
Programs and Courses
That's the difference with my courses and coaching programs. You don't grind through lists or repeated drills. You practice in ways that stick because they make sense.
Each program is based on The Four Pathways, combining awareness, purpose, and practice so you can move from silent study mode to everyday communication that feels like you.
