First hand experience with UBC Academic English Support (AES) Program

Today I had an appointment with my coach, Emily from UBC Academic English Support (AES) Program. She is an very attentive person and a great listener.
I am definitely happy that I joined the program. I am very grateful that Hasti, my colleague in my research group, introduced this program to me.
I really think that this program will improve in my writing skills and my note-taking skills, as well as my speaking skills.

Emily taught me an english idiom
You are preaching to the converted.
From idiom.thefreedictionary.com, it means: try to convince someone who is already convinced,
Emily said it eloquently: I agree 100% (before I tried to convince her on a matter)
