About
Fluency Corp
We prepare professionals for real workplace communication.
Fluency Corp was founded to solve a common problem in language training: traditional courses do not prepare professionals for real workplace communication. After spending years studying Spanish, our founder Micah realized that textbooks and generic programs failed to teach the real language used in meetings, collaboration, and daily work.
That experience led to a better approach. Fluency Corp delivers customized corporate language training focused on real conversations, job-specific vocabulary, and cultural context. The result is confident teams that communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and contribute at a higher level.
Micah Bellieu
CEO & Founder
Micah thought she approached learning languages the right way. She spent over 15 years learning Spanish and even studied abroad. But when she took a job in Mexico, she realized that all of her hard work wasn’t paying off.
Colleagues spoke too quickly for her to keep up during meetings. She had trouble making friends because her textbooks hadn’t taught her everyday, real-life vocabulary and idioms. And she felt out of the loop because she didn’t understand co-workers’ cultural references.
That’s when Micah realized the generic language courses she had taken weren’t effective. She needed to talk with someone in REAL Spanish – the Spanish spoken every day at work. So she started having relevant, interesting and FUN conversations with co-workers about work, life and the culture. Slowly but surely, she gained the language fluency she needed to do her job.
Her experience inspired Micah to found Fluency Corp. Fluency’s approach is the opposite of “one size fits all” language training, which is a waste of time and money. Instead, Fluency Corp takes a customized approach based on giving language learners plenty of speaking experience tailored to their specific jobs.
Micah’s mission is to make sure Fluency’s language learners have the skill and confidence to connect and contribute. As a result, companies that work with Fluency Corp build collaboration, engagement and morale.

Kathia Gochez
Executive Administrator
Kathia plays a supportive role behind the scenes at Fluency Corp, helping to ensure that our daily operations, accounting, and communication between teachers and clients run as smoothly as possible.
With many years of experience in different office settings, she enjoys the process of staying organized and makes sure everyone has what they need to succeed.
Originally from El Salvador and having lived in Mexico for the past 15 years, Kathia understands the “real life” side of language learning. Because she works every day in her second language (C2 English), she truly relates to the ups and downs of moving to a new country and adapting to a different culture. She uses that personal experience to bring a little extra empathy and understanding to our global community.
Throughout her career, Kathia has had the opportunity to help in many different areas, always in her second language: as an office manager across HR and accounting departments, and also worked many years as an interpreter and looked after a team of medical interpreters, assisting the Latin community in English-speaking countries. She holds a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Diploma in Emotional Intelligence, which she feels helps her better understand and support the people she works with.
At the end of the day, Kathia is happy to be part of a team. She finds a lot of joy in helping others and feels lucky to work in a multicultural environment where she can learn from different perspectives every day.
