Yakari is such an amazing teacher. Her lessons are always well-organized and engaging. Her explanations were clear and detailed, which made learning so much more effective. She was always kind, supportive, and ready to help whenever I needed it. She helped me build confidence in speaking English and supported me every step of the way. I appreciate how thoughtful she was - she chose methods that worked best for me. It’s clear how much effort she puts into her teaching, it’s so amazing to study English with her.
