Lorena is very attentive and she focuses on our weakness in English speaking, and she is always able to point out our mistakes and gives us very practical advice! I really appreciate what she has told me during the lesson.

Lorena gave me very useful tips for my speaking part of the TOEFL ibt. She is very organized and patient. I'll certainly do more lessons with her.

Ho appena terminato la mia prima lezione con Lorena e non potrei essere più soddisfatto. Grazie al suo metodo di insegnamento mi sono sentito subito a mio agio e davvero motivato a dare il meglio di me per migliorare il mio inglese. Prima lezione di una lunga serie!

I started my collaboration with Lorena on the 10th of October 2019, and since then I have completed 259 lessons. At the beginning, I contacted Lorena to teach my two kids English, and later it became my turn. I am very grateful to Lorena for being a great teacher and a great listener—always focused on you and incredibly patient. I especially appreciate the way she keeps every conversation dynamic.
Thank you, Lorena, for everything you have done for me and my family.
A big hug, and I look forward to seeing you in person soon.
