Thank you once more Bobbi for the time and effort you put in your lessons! Bobbi is alway extremely well prepared, nice, peppy and is very articulate ! I absolutely love talking to her about books and everything else and I am so thankful that I have found her! She doesn’t make you feel bad if you make a mistake, instead she is encouraging and kind. I am certain that anyone taking lessons with her will be looking forward to the time spent with her as it flies by!

Bobbi is definitely a very professional teacher and all of her lessons were customized; even include the strategy she advised. When she found I wasn't able to fit into the advised strategy, she'd further adjusted it and suggested me to talk on the topic from another angle, I think this's really amazing as Bobbi did really considered about my strength and weakness and then suggested me with the strategy that best fit me for the exam! She's just too professional! Highly recommend her to anyone who aim to advance their English communication skills.

I'm so excited to start reading this book with Bobbi! She sent me an intro to the class to see what we would be discussing, had suggestions of books to read and asked what I'd like to focus on during our class. I think I will be doing the class I always wanted to do! Thank you Bobbi for having an open mind, great taste and being a joy to work with :D
