My first class with Julie was fantastic. I shared my learning goals and preferred topics with her beforehand, and she tailored the lesson nicely to match them. During the lesson, we talked about various space-related curiosities, and I was able to fully express myself while having a natural and informative conversation with her. She also suggested more natural expressions in the chat and provided helpful feedback without interrupting my speaking flow. Overall, it was a very pleasant first lesson with Julie, and I’m definitely looking forward to more in-depth discussions in the future!

Julie's lessons are well structured, engaging, and never monotonous, thanks to her ability to enrich each script with concrete and constructive examples that make the content immediately understandable. During the lessons, Julie suggests additional vocabulary ranging from the most colloquial to the most formal terms. This approach allows you not only to improve your command of the language but also to broaden your cultural knowledge in an authentic way.

I've been taking classes with her for a while. Julie always suggests interesting topics to discuss. She explains the word whether they are formal or commonly used in daily conversation. She always makes necessary corrections and suggests more appropriate words. She suggests useful resources as well.
