How did Sallaberry English Coaching start?

SEC started to meet a specific market's needs. Some people should be able to communicate in English to achieve their personal and professional objectives. Reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world we live in. Each of us generates our own "rules" and "mental models", which we use to make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences.
