I like that she is a person who likes to talk about different topics in their classes, from current issues to more general topics. I like her classes to practice listening (videos) as well as to learn new vocabulary, correct pronunciation & good use of grammar. Assane T. Probably the best English teacher I have ever met.

An excellent teacher in both skills and emotions. Our conversations span daily life, cultures, scientific research, and travel plans. I've gained a lot from her. Most remarkably, she can hold diverse viewpoints with warmth and insight, making her perspectives deeply sensible, as a result, I could learn the best representation of an idea.

If you want to take your English to the next level? Meet Trina – the teacher who doesn’t just teach, but inspires you to think deeper and answer smarter! One memorable lesson was on IELTS Speaking Part 3. The question is “Should people have extravagant weddings?” At first, I thought the answer was obvious—no, it’s wasteful. But Trina showed me there’s so much more to consider. She explored the cultural, religious, and business angles, even touching on personal freedom and choices. Her ability to dig deeper truly set her apart. For me, she’s worth every penny, and honestly, she deserves more than what I pay for.

Trina is an amazing teacher! Her lessons are always very well structured and clearly focused on my personal goals. What I appreciate most is her attention to detail — Trina never forgets even the small things I mentioned at the very beginning of our learning journey. I truly feel that every lesson is tailored to my needs. Highly recommend! 💛
