The lesson with Christina was always fun and made me more confident. After several months of lessons, I can focus more on what I want to say, not what I can say. Christina is a patient, thoughtful, and all-around knowledgeable teacher who always brings great topics while listening to what I talk about during the lesson.
I am looking forward to my lessons with Christina ahead.
Many thanks for your helpful feedback and well-structured lesson!

Another great one Class ! Christina has the ability to make a change for "very easy" the things that were "very difficult" to learn, understand and/or just put in use everyday on our vocabulary. Christina has a very polite way to speak and teach. She's very smart, serious to teach her students, however always is very patient and fun also. I absolutely recommend her as a teacher and I hope to study oftentimes with her. Thank you so much for everything. See you soon in the next class !

I really enjoy our conversations and I always leave energized and excited.
If you're like me, and highly value great conversations and tend to gravitate towards philosophical topics, Christina is the perfect teacher. I guess she's a perfect conversation partner if you prefer shallow discussions too. 🙂
For me, everything starts with your confidence and advice like "be confident" must be broken down into practical advice. I couldn't communicate in English before I met Christina, and it feels like magic when I'm thinking about our discussions.
She's patient, positive, and encouraging.
Thanks for everything!
