I just finished another long journey of reading a book by Dickens thanks to Betsy. Without her, I would not think of opening this book .

The first lesson with Betsy was amazing. She was extremely well prepared before the lesson, and during the lesson she was very friendly, patient and supportive. Betsy went out of her way to help me improve. She was engaged in the lesson, providing a lot of corrections and useful feedback without interrupting the flow of the conversation. I highly recommend her!

I honestly feel so lucky and grateful to be learning from Betsy. She is truly the best teacher I’ve ever had. She genuinely listens to what I’m trying to say and helps me express my thoughts in a clearer and more natural way. Thanks to her guidance, I’m expanding my vocabulary and learning how to use new words in my own sentences more naturally and confidently. I still have a long way to go, but I feel myself growing with each session. I always look forward to our lessons!

Thank you so much for this wonderful discussion and the thought-provoking questions you shared with me. I had plenty of opportunities to speak and felt challenged when I shared my ideas throughout the lesson. I look forward to our next lesson.
