”As an international school teacher in China navigating trilingual parenting with my Chinese-speaking wife, I found myself wrestling with how to incorporate English, Chinese, and French into our son's upbringing. Ka Yee Meck's coaching session was transformative. She brought both expertise and empathy to our discussion, particularly in understanding my emotional connection to French as a heritage language.
What sets Ka Yee apart is her practical yet compassionate approach. She introduced me to her insightful equation where linguistic success equals exposure multiplied by need. Through this lens, she helped me see why a traditional One Parent One Language (OPOL) approach would be optimal in our situation, but suggested ways to incorporate a Time and Place strategy. Moving forward, my wife will speak to our son exclusively in Chinese; I will be his primary source of English, but I’ll have the added benefit of French as our special father-son bonding language during dedicated times like bedtime stories.
This tailored approach not only maximizes my son's language development in our current context but also honours my desire to pass on my Québécois roots. Perhaps most surprisingly, Ka Yee's coaching reinvigorated my own commitment to learning Chinese, helping me see it as a powerful way to connect with my son's Chinese heritage. Her guidance went beyond mere language strategy – it helped me embrace our family's unique multilingual journey.
Ka Yee provided me with a questionnaire before our meeting. She came to our meeting thoroughly prepared and familiar with my situation. Shortly after our session she provided me with an annotated copy of the questionnaire and a written plan.
I look forward to speaking with Ka Yee again as I approach different milestones on my journey.“

"We are bringing up our 2 year old son to become trilingual, but had been losing confidence since his speech development seemed to be slower than his peers and we were unsure how to support him the best way. We had spoken to a speech therapist but this didn’t really help and we were left frustrated.
I bought my husband Ka Yee’s book for Christmas and we immediately knew this was what we had been looking for. Practical, easy to apply advice from someone who has been there herself and has thorough knowledge of languages and learning. We were really keen to arrange a 1:1 with Ka Yee following this and we had a very positive session which left us with renewed confidence in how to continue our multilingual journey. It was exactly what we needed and she answered all our questions and concerns and gave us a much better understanding of the right balance.
At 2 he is still very little, but we are so pleased to know Ka Yee so that we can get the best advice if we hit any hurdles as he gets older. Cannot recommend her enough for any multilingual family needing encouragement or guidance."​SARAH O.

1. What can I expect from a coaching session with you?
​
Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Typically, we’ll start with a discussion about your current challenges and objectives, followed by actionable strategies and exercises designed to help you achieve your desired outcomes. Sessions are interactive, supportive, and focused on practical results.
​
2. How long does each coaching session last?
​
Each session lasts 50 minutes. This timeframe allows us to dive deep into your goals and challenges, ensuring we have enough time to develop and begin implementing a tailored action plan.
​
3. How are your coaching sessions structured?
​
We can tailor these sessions to be as structured or as fluid as you prefer, designing a program together if you'd like ongoing support; we can also address specific questions and areas on an ad-hoc basis.
​
4. How do I prepare for my first coaching session?
​
Before our first session, I’ll send you a questionnaire to better understand your goals and the areas you’d like to focus on. It’s helpful to think about what you want to achieve through coaching and any specific challenges you’re facing.
​
5. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
​
I understand that life can be unpredictable, which is why I offer a fully flexible rescheduling policy. Please note that I take payment upfront before each session; due to the payment processing fees involved, I cannot issue refunds for cancellations, but I'll always be happy to reschedule!
​
6. How much does coaching cost?
For transparency, I list my prices online, unlike many other coaches, so you can judge whether it’s affordable before getting in touch. As of February 2025, I charge £50 / USD 65 / EUR 65 per 50-minute session, and offer discounts for block bookings.
​
7. How do I make a booking?
​
Step 1: Please email me with your enquiry, telling me a bit more about your situation and what you hope to achieve through coaching.
Step 2: If I have availability and am confident that I can help you, I’ll send you a pre-coaching session questionnaire along with a payment link to secure the booking (via Stripe).
Step 3: Once the payment is confirmed, we can schedule a time and date that works for us both!
