Covering the Front Desk

Subject: Front Desk Coverage on Thursday

Hi Beth,

Would you be available to cover the front desk from 2:00 to 3:00 on Thursday? I need to attend a training session during that hour.

The appointment list will be updated before I leave, and I’ll place any unfinished forms in the blue folder. You would only need to check in visitors and answer incoming calls.

If you’re already assigned to another task, please let me know. I can ask our supervisor to help arrange coverage.

Thanks for considering it,
Nina

English w/ Nabi

Hello! I'm Nabi Blooms, an English tutor, writer, and creator of English with Nabi.

My goal is simple: to help English learners build confidence and improve their skills one step at a time. Through personalized lessons, reading materials, pronunciation practice, and easy-to-follow resources, I focus on making English clear, practical, and enjoyable.

I believe learning is most effective when students concentrate on one skill at a time. Whether we are working on reading, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, or grammar, my goal is to provide simple explanations and meaningful practice that support long-term progress.

I am passionate about helping learners sound more natural and communicate with confidence in everyday situations. Through my lessons, books, and learning resources, I strive to make English accessible, encouraging, and rewarding for learners of all levels.
