I loved Ana's class! It was great! We discussed various topics and had a good laugh! And at the same time it wasn't just a nice conversation, Ana gave some valuable comments and remarks about my speech. So 30 minutes just flew and I was sorry that the class was over so fast. Looking forward to our next class!

I enjoyed the lesson with Ana. She is very attentive, always maintains the atmosphere and the lesson process, and keeps a good pace. Ana has a beautiful British accent and very understandable speech. After the lesson, you feel in a good mood and more confident.
