Once mocked for her English and diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and ADHD, Coach Ariel Lee knows firsthand what it feels like to struggle with speaking. Today, this former software engineer has transformed her life—and the lives of over 10,000 students across 9 countries—using her proprietary F.A.S.T. System that teaches people how to speak with confidence, clarity, and charisma.
The journey wasn’t easy. “As a Chinese-educated person, I used to avoid speaking because I was laughed at for my pronunciation and awkward phrasing,” Ariel shares. “I felt invisible, insecure, and incapable.”
But something inside her refused to give up.
She signed up for TESOL classes after long shifts in a multi-national company, taught English part-time at night, and slowly discovered her calling—not just to speak better, but to teach others how to speak better too.
“The best way to learn is to teach,” she recalls her mentor saying. That advice would become the spark of a new mission.
What started as survival became a calling
Despite her learning challenges, Ariel didn’t let her diagnosis define her future. She immersed herself in memory training, public speaking workshops, and mentorships with international icons like Anthony Robbins, Blair Singer, and T. Harv Eker.
She even pursued more qualifications. With her TESOL qualifications, she combined her skills acquired from her Degree in Computer Science and Master’s Degree in Business Administration, she created the F.A.S.T. System—a proven framework designed for aspired learners to communicate effectively, speak with confidence, and influence with impact.
Today, Coach Ariel is a beacon of hope for business owners, department heads, and entrepreneurs who struggle with English and wish to have a breakthrough in public speaking.
Her online coaching programmes now attract students globally, and her flagship 3-hour Speak with Charisma webinar is becoming a go-to gateway for those looking to level up their communication game.
The Turning Point: Pandemic to Possibility
The COVID-19 pandemic could have been the end of Ariel’s career. Her brick-and-mortar language center—running for over 16 years—had to shut down. With no physical classes and uncertainty looming, Ariel pivoted fast.
Instead of shutting down, she scaled up.
By turning her coaching programmes online, Coach Ariel’s message reached further than ever. Revenue soared 100 times, and new students from 9 countries joined her coaching programs. From a local trainer to an international coach—her message was now louder than ever:
“Speaking is not about perfection. It’s about connection. And anyone can learn it—with the right method and coach.”
Why the F.A.S.T. System Works
What makes Coach Ariel’s system so effective is its simplicity and relatability. Designed for individuals who didn’t grow up speaking English, the system focuses on:
- F – Foundations of mindset and confidence
- A – Articulation of thoughts clearly and naturally
- S – Structure to deliver impactful messages
- T – Tone & Techniques to influence and inspire
Students not only overcome the fear of public speaking but also gain tools to speak in boardrooms, on camera, or on stage—with charisma.
A Story That Resonates
Coach Ariel’s story isn’t just inspiring. It’s relatable.
She’s not the coach who started with perfect English or stage confidence. She’s the one who stuttered, sweated, and silently endured the pain of being misunderstood—and now teaches others to shine in the spotlight they once feared.
“I want to tell anyone who’s been laughed at, ignored, or doubted: You’re not broken. You’re just not trained. And once you learn how to use your voice—you’ll realize it’s your biggest asset.”

From Autism to Articulation
Coach Ariel doesn’t shy away from her past. She embraces it. Diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and ADHD, she turned what many called disabilities into abilities—to teach, lead, and coach others who’ve struggled in silence.
“Autism doesn’t make me less of a communicator—it makes me more compassionate. I understand what it’s like to feel unheard. That’s why I do what I do.”
