Carlos C.
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.

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.
