It was great! I can hear and feel that my pronunciation changes and I also like it that I acquire some spoken phrases from Kristine. She is a great professional and attentive coach! Thank you! I'm already looking forward to our next lesson.

Classes with Kristine are the best. It's always about clear explanations, best examples and a lot of new things I learn. I'm very grateful and always looking forward to the next class.

I enjoy these lessons so much. She always tries to challenge me with new vocabulary and phrases that I'm not familiar with. I feel like I'm improving a lot and that encourage me to keep learning. She's an excellent teacher.

I'm amazed by how much I'm learning from Kristine about pronunciation. I've been speaking English as a second language for years and I had no idea about the real way sounds should be pronounced. Kristine explains the physical aspects of speech in great detail perfectly suited for a geek like me.
