A while ago, I told you on my Stories that I donโt really read fiction. Iโm 100% into non-fiction, productivity and self-growth books! ๐ง A lot of you voted โYESโ to wanting my personal recommendations, so here they are!
If you are an Upper-Intermediate or Advanced learner (B2-C1), reading non-fiction in English is a massive shortcut. Why? Because you arenโt just learning standard grammar; you are mastering the specific vocabulary used in casual conversations, networking, and everyday mindset ๐
โณ 1. โ๐
๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ฌโ (Oliver Burkeman): A reality check about how limited our time on Earth is and how to stop obsessing over toxic productivity. (Iโm currently hooked on this one!).
๐คซ 2. โ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฒโ (Mel Robbins): This one is at the very top of my TBR (To Be Read) list for this summer! Itโs all about letting go of emotional control. Since itโs Mel Robbins, itโs packed with modern, fresh, and real-life American expressions.
๐ 3. โ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐คโ (Brianna Wiest): Pure wisdom in short chapters. Itโs perfect for the beach because you can read one essay, close the book, and just reflect.
๐ฅ 4. โ๐๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ฌ! ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐-๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐โ (Brian Tracy): If you need a push to hit your professional goals, this is it. It uses very direct, sharp, and actionable English.

โ๏ธ Your English Passport is officially ready to be stamped.
Still mixing up Past Simple and Present Perfect? Never quite sure when to use will, going to, or the Present Continuous for the future? Youโre not alone.
For most English learners, verb tenses are one of the biggest obstacles to fluency. There are so many rules, exceptions, and confusing explanations that itโs easy to feel stuck.
Thatโs exactly why I created The English Passport. ๐ A complete 72-page ebook that takes you through EVERY English verb tense step by step. Inside, youโll find:
โ๏ธ Clear explanations
โ๏ธ Real-life examples for every tense
โ๏ธ Practice activities to test your understanding
โ๏ธ Full answer keys so you can study independently
โ๏ธ A complete guide to Stative Verbs
โ๏ธ The ultimate -ed and -s pronunciation guide
โ๏ธ Essential irregular verbs you need to know
โ๏ธ A one-page cheat sheet to review everything in minutes before an exam
Whether youโre preparing for Cambridge, IELTS, an end-of-year exam, or simply want to speak English with more confidence, this ebook gives you the roadmap youโve been missing.

Be honest... are you already on holiday mode? โ๏ธ
I donโt blame you! But here is a quick reality check: summer is the prime time for your English to take a massive step backwards. Two months of โhibernationโ, and by September, that confidence you worked so hard for is gone ๐
This July and August, Iโm running my Summer Groups and they are designed to be the exact opposite of boring school lessons.
Whatโs the vibe?
โ
90-minute weekly sessions (plenty of time to enjoy the sun!)
โ
Max 6 people per group (cosy, intimate, and zero pressure)
โ
Focused 100% on speaking, real fluency, and dynamic topics
โ
Original and engaging materials provided
๐จ IMPORTANT: Official registration doesnโt open until mid-June, but because groups are so small, spots are highly limited.
If you want to get early-bird access to the timetables and info before anyone else, drop a comment or send me a DM with the words โSUMMER GROUPSโ and Iโll give you the details! ๐
