Hi Sophia, The best way to overcome being nervous is to practice, practice and practice some more. Even if it means just talking to yourself in the mirror and interviewing yourself. I have done this on many occasion :) It is an idea to have a bank of written questions and answers to ask yourself for different interview scenarios. In group discussions always remember to try and participate with the other candidates, even facial expressions help to show that you are engaged in what others have to say. Confidence is key in many an interview situation, when you relax, maintain good eye contact and smile then you are halfway there! I hope I have answered your questions. If you would like to practice, I would be more than happy to help you and improve your confidence in an interview. I am a professional native English speaker and online English teacher. I have interviewed many candidates in a recruitment role. I also specialise in interview techniques and English conversation. Feel free to look at my teaching profile (Sara-Sensei) and different classes I have on offer. If you would like my help then by all means send me a message. Regards Sara

Hi Sophia, I wouldn't worry too much about small, grammatical mistakes. It is more important that you continue communicating. That might mean being flexible - if they don't understand you, be prepared to say it in a different way, finding alternative words, or describing things. My experience with learning Spanish, if I go to a shop, I need to be able to describe things if I don't know the name for them. I feel more relaxed if I can find solutions to a limited vocabulary. I hope that helps. Simon.
