I really appreciate the well-structured and customized lesson focusing on my interests. Phrasal verbs and idioms are ones that I have been avoiding to work harder. Thank you for pushing my back to move forward and overcome my comfort zone that I have been trapped in for many years. Talk to you soon!

I took a trial session, where the teacher did an assessment , first by asking me few questions like when did I start learning English, what is my aim from learning the language, among other questions, then we did a grammar MCQ, and after that a pronunciation assessment.
She was nice, organized, and professional, and definitely I would take more sessions with her.

Times flies as we always have a lot of things to catch up! It's exciting to join your class, to laugh out loud about what happened during weeks. I look forward to more lessons in the new year!

Time flies as always. Reading the book becomes a bit easier because I remember the scenes in the movie. I'll try guessing new words coming up based on the content. See you next time!
