Why start English Rising blog site?

SO WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THIS SITE?

After I left my full-time job and started traveling, I spent several years visiting different countries and meeting people from many cultures and backgrounds. One thing became very clear. Whether people were trying to connect, find work, or move abroad, English was at the center of it all.

In every place I visited, I noticed the same pattern. Some people spoke English well, while others struggled with even the basics. But almost everyone I met wanted to improve their English skills. They were eager to learn English online, speak fluently, and open doors to new opportunities in countries like Canada, the United States, Australia, and across Europe.

This site was created to support learners just like them. Whether you want to improve your everyday English, understand slang and expressions, or build confidence in conversations, you will find clear, practical tips and strategies here. If you are preparing for international English exams, especially the IELTS speaking test, you will also benefit from my ten years of experience helping students reach their target scores.

My goal is to help you learn English online in a way that actually works. The advice you will find here comes from real-life teaching experience, and it is made to help you grow in a natural and effective way.

Whether you are just starting or looking to fine-tune your fluency, this space is for you.

Keep pushing. Keep rising.
