Together, we will focus on improving the essential skills of language learning and effective communication: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Additionally, I will guide you through learning expressions and enhancing your cultural awareness, invaluable assets for your future travels and interactions with native speakers. Following each lesson, you will receive a comprehensive report encompassing detailed discussion notes, corrections of any mistakes made, and a clear roadmap outlining your path to continuous progress and never-ending learning.
