It was our first class, so I introduced myself by talking about who I am, why and how I'm learning English and so forth. I felt Marisa radiated warm and comfortable atmosphere so that I could feel confident while speaking. Thank you and talk to you soon.

It was a wonderful lesson! Marisa sent me an interesting article before the lesson and she built our conversation around this topic. During the lesson she was correcting my mistakes and gave me some advice how to improve my English skills. I'm grateful for the lesson!
