I completed a series of lessons with Natalie having already a fairly advanced level of English (B2–C1) and a very clear goal: to refresh and strengthen my language skills for professional use in the tourism industry. From the very beginning, Natalie made me feel understood, supported, and motivated. Thanks to her experience, professionalism, and genuine empathy, she helped me make real progress in a short time. She designed a programme perfectly tailored to my specific needs, combining grammar revision, listening practice, and speaking activities. Everything was carefully structured to expand my vocabulary, improve fluency, and, above all, increase my confidence in using English at work. Beyond her teaching skills, Natalie is a truly pleasant person to talk to — intelligent, cultured, and intellectually curious. Our lessons were not only effective, but also inspiring, engaging, and full of meaningful conversations, which made learning a real pleasure.

I would like to thank Natalie for her lessons. Because of her wonderful teaching, I reached the B1 level and I’ve reached intermediate B2. The emphasis on phrasal verbs, idioms, and expressions was particularly valuable. We covered all verb tenses, modal verbs, and adjectives in detail. Our classes provided a balanced approach to speaking, listening, and grammar, this helped me to communicate more effectively. The funny animations made speaking practice enjoyable and engaging. Natalie always focused on the students' personalities and needs. I highly recommend Natalie to other students. Her teaching style is engaging and interactive, making complex topics accessible and easy to understand. She uses an individual approach for each student, always focusing on their needs and choosing relevant topics. The friendly atmosphere and support in class helped me believe in myself and enjoy learning the language. Thank you so much again for this experience, and I look forward to the next lesson!

For me, it was the first experience in learning the language remotely and, in fact, the first experience of taking lessons for a long period of time. And, having finished quite a few of them, I'd want to say that Natalie is a charmingly polite, punctual and considerate teacher. She will guide you through your journey, supporting you with a huge variety of materials, igniting your motivation with challenging exercises and even raising your level of general knowledge, considering her rich background. You’ll receive comprehensive lessons tailored for you. You are always free to give feedback, so you can freely create new ways of discovering the paths of English, which in this case, is a good and never-ending thing.

I’m currently taking a B1 intermediate level course with Natalie. I’ve started as a beginner with A1 not so long ago and I see the real difference. I can speak without pausing, have no trouble reading and understanding articles and watching movies without subtitles. I’m motivated, delighted with results and working towards B2. Natalie’s friendly and professional approach works and I’m happy to recommend her to other fellow students.

I want to express my gratitude to my teacher Natalie for her patience. She always explains the grammar in detail and makes it easy. She has interesting topics for conversation at my level. In my opinion the lessons are enjoyable and built very competently. In A1 I learnt basic vocabulary and now can watch videos, animations and understand. I can listen to beautiful songs and actually hear the lyrics. I can describe and compare things. I discovered common idioms and expressions. It’s always a pleasure to have a conversation and I feel progress. Can’t wait to start next level A2.
