Knaglich ,

Extremely knowledgeable and caring coach

While listening to this podcast, you can easily tell Coach Kwan cares deeply about her students and is highly knowledgeable in helping them start high-paying careers in the US. She's literally gone through the same process herself. I plan to recommend this podcast to any of my international English students who need career coaching.
