Get to Know The Founder
"My name is Telma Gomes Correia, I was born in Portugal, but I grew up in the UK. My heritage is African, born to parents from two different African countries. Consequently, I was exposed to various languages and cultures from a young, which ignited my passion for languages. I am a qualified language teacher and I have been teaching for over 8 years. During this time, I have taught in inner city London, Dubai, Lisbon, and Martinique in both public and private schools. I have recently completed a Neurolanguage Coaching course and I am currently working towards the certification with Efficient Language Coaching (ELC) and accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (IFC), this will enable me to coach learners effectively and provide efficient support.
​
How I got here
I lost a person very dear to me due to struggles with mental health. As a result, I decided to start Blooming Exchanges to coach and support individuals facing emotional challenges, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, etc. The aim is to use language learning as a therapeutic tool. Research has shown that learning a language can yield numerous cognitive benefits, social, and emotional benefits.

Language as a therapeutic tool for emotional wellbeing
I am thrilled to embark on this journey. Providing a tailored curriculum to my learners will enable them to learn at their own pace, reducing stress and pressure, while also boosting their confidence.
Ultimately, therapeutic foreign language learning will have a significant impact on their cognitive and emotional wellbeing.
