It’s important to acknowledge that not every person you meet will be the perfect speaking partner. But don’t let it stop you! Don’t let it ruin your day! 

Please don’t tell her that she is not good enough (she needs your support and encouragement so that she can continue to make her own progress). But before you leave her, consider that perhaps she isn't as confident as you are, or she hasn't had as much experience speaking in English. It may be that your support is all she needs to come out of her shell!  

If you'd like us to help you find a different speaking partner, please reach out to our team.
