Thank you Brends! It was so great to see you after so many years! Your memory is incredible, I didn't expect that you remembered such details! :) Thank you so much for your help with CV and especially for your kind offer to add your reference! I am looking forward to talking to you soon!

I could talk to you forever, Brends :) And not so long ago, I thought the most I could do in English was book a hotel when I travel. But I feel so comfortable with you that we can talk about politics, NGO work, anything. Talking to you motivates me to get better and better at English. Thank you!

Brenda is the best English teacher I ever had (and I had a lot of them).
Patiently accompanied by her, and thanks to her great pedagogy, I was able to reach my goal : feeling at ease in any kind of English conversations.
Her way of teaching is precise, lively and well structured.
As a psychotherapist graduated from University, I can assert that Brenda has an inner sense of psychology and human relationship. So she perfectly knows how to attune herself to her student.
I do recommend her to everyone who really needs to improve his/her English
