From hesitant learner to working in London: Cecilia’s Inspiring Journey with Wall Street English

When you’re learning a new language, it can often feel daunting, especially when trying to see how far you’ve come. However, Cecilia Brogi’s story is an inspiring example of overcoming these challenges and achieving her personal and professional goals by moving to London with a job as a Lead Speech Therapist. Read on to find out how she did it.

“I couldn’t imagine doing what I am now without the course. [...] It seemed so difficult, almost impossible when I started studying English... now I’m the Speech Therapy Lead”.

When she first started learning English, Cecilia struggled intensely with the fear of making mistakes, preventing her from enjoying conversations and connecting with others. But with the course, she found herself contributing more to class discussions and even engaging in conversations with native speakers, which she now sees as opportunities for practice rather than as tests to pass or fail.

Have you ever looked back at your mistakes and realized just how far you've come?

Five years ago, Cecilia shared her story about learning English with Wall Street English. Now, she’s reacting to her first interview and reflecting on how much her life has changed since then. In this video, Cecilia talks about the new opportunities she’s unlocked professionally and how her English learning experience has shaped both her career and personal growth.

Why Wall Street English?

Cecilia chose Wall Street English for its proven method, flexibility in schedule and pace of learning, personalized study programs, and comprehensive curriculum.

But when we asked her about a memorable moment from her studies with us, she said it was when she informed her coach of her job offer in London.

One of the standout features of the Wall Street English program is the personalized coaching provided to each student. Cecilia, just like our other students, got assigned a coach – but what does a coach do?
