I have been having classes with Lydia for more than a year, and I would say the amount of confidence I have gained from having classes with her is out of this world! Very friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable. An outstanding native teacher to practice your English with and boost your confidene along the way.

How to start speaking English quickly? Start learning English with Lydia! Speak it the way children speak to their parents from birth. Yes, you won't understand everything at first, but if you know just a few words, it makes sense. This is the communicative method—learning a language naturally. It works, guys! I studied English for 10 years and couldn't speak it! It was a drudgery for me. Now, learning English is a pleasure! The teacher is key. If you don't want boring exercises but prefer chatting about interesting topics with a positive, supportive person, you've come to the right place. I recommend classes with Lydia. She is friendly, open, simple, kind, and supportive—like a mother encouraging a child learning to walk and talk. I've never heard criticism from her. Lydia is a wonderful person and an excellent teacher who feels like a friend. I started speaking English 2.5 years ago, and now I understand 90% of daily conversations. (I hope so 😁)

Talking to Lydia is always a pleasure. She is kind and composed. By taking Lydia’s lessons, I can have many opportunities to talk, and it really helps me improve my fluency. For those, who are preparing for IELTS, though Lydia modestly mentioned in her description box that she isn’t a professional teacher, we can go through many interesting questions for a specific topic each lesson in a relaxing vibe, which can definitely prepare yourself for the Part 3 of the IELTS speaking test, which is the most difficult section.
