I really enjoyed the class with Nikkie! She gave me plenty of opportunities to speak — something many tutors don’t do. Nikkie uses topics to guide the conversation and keeps the interaction engaging throughout the lesson. She corrected me in a kind way, suggesting better words. She also introduced me to new daily vocabulary that I can use in real-life situations. I felt like I was truly learning!
