I really enjoy my lessons with Ekim. He creates a perfect atmosphere where you feel safe to make mistakes and just talk. It doesn’t feel like a boring lesson because he’s so engaging and really gives you that extra spark to study more. Highly recommend him!

Today was my trial lesson with Ekim. At first he checked my English level for his individual program. After that we told about my plans to English learning. The atmosphere in the lesson was friendly and safety. He tried to explain all unknown for me words in simple terms, I think it's more important than only translate to your native language.
This format helps develop conversational speech. I enjoyed it, so I'll continue studying with Ekim.
