My English Matters
About this episode

Have you ever stared at a blank page, feeling unsure of how to start your writing?


Perhaps you’ve hit send on an email, only to second-guess every word?


Or maybe you use AI tools like ChatGPT, only to feel like the generated texts don’t sound like you? Maybe it’ll be a little too obvious you’re using AI?  😬


We totally get it!


Writing can feel like a huge endeavour, especially in a world filled with AI.


In fact, we’ve started using AI tools like ChatGPT to assist with our writing, but we always make sure to edit for inaccuracies (yes, it makes mistakes, too) to ensure it’s relevant for our students and to incorporate our own ideas and insights.


It’s amazing to see how our writing skills have evolved over time.


And we want you to experience that same sense of pride in your writing—whether you choose to use AI or not.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join our BRAND NEW and FREE email series: 3 Strategies to Sharpen Your Writing (With or Without AI)! 🎉


This series will equip you with practical strategies to build your confidence, enhance your writing skills, and help you express your unique voice effectively—whether you’re using AI tools or not.


Here’s what you’ll learn:


• Day 1: Build Confidence and Clarity in Your Writing 💪
Learn how to shift your mindset to write with more confidence, making the writing process less intimidating and more effective.


• Day 2: Create a Natural Writing Flow 🌊
Discover techniques to organise your thoughts, write conversationally, and maintain momentum—without stopping to edit—so your words flow easily onto the page.


• Day 3: Connect with Your Audience Effectively 🤝
Learn the Five Cs of writing (Coherent, Concise, Clear, Compelling, Complete) to ensure your message resonates with your reader and leaves a lasting impact.


👉 Sign up here!


Let’s work together to elevate your writing skills—whether you choose to use AI or not!
