Today I've had another great lesson with Kay. Her topics are always interesting and she always makes you feel fulfilled.
I wish I had more time to spend improving my English with her :)

I'm so grateful and happy to study with Kay! She always makes very encouraging remarks and you understand all nuances of vocab or grammar. Kay helped me with my IELTS preparations and I finally passed with a band 8 overall score and I'm going to continue my studies. I recommend!! :)

Kay helped me edit some essays for my university's exams. Thanks to her I gained the highest mark.
She carefully dedicates her time in correcting my writings and providing me with explainations.
Thank you so much!

Kay is an amazing teacher. She is very flexible and polite. We were talking about International Women’s Day. It was just excellent! I found out about the difference in perception of this day in the UK and Russia.
