The first lesson with Fiona exceeded my expectations, my nervousness and fear were completely gone after only a few minutes. I haven´t had an English conversation practice for years but thanks to Fiona, her patience and professional guidance I began talking very soon and started to recollect my long forgotten vocabulary.

Fiona is an excellent teacher in providing many constructive suggestions and advice during the interview preparation session, particularly in pitching my experience and edge in a job interview. Fiona suggested great points I had not thought of before that could be something I could talk about which would make me stand out. Fiona is also very thoughtful and adjusted the time to accommodate to my time zone. She is very professional in providing insights of how I could articulate my edge based on my background and the experience I described. Thank you very much and I am grateful to have the class with Fiona during which I gained a lot of inspiration and advice from her.
