Teacher’s pick
Before working with Bernadette, I was getting ready for an important job interview and was worried about speaking and answering questions well.
Thanks to Bernadette’s guidance, I successfully passed the interview and will now be working for the company I’ve aspired to join since childhood.
I strongly recommend Bernadette as a tutor. She is very organized, always ready for each class, and gives great advice for answering interview questions. Her support was crucial for reaching my goals, and I still have classes with her to keep improving my English
