I absolutely love having classes with, Tess! She’s incredibly kind, always polite and genuinely sweet. Our lessons are so fun and relaxed that time just flies by I don’t even notice the hour passing. I’ve been enjoying every minute and I truly appreciate how she makes learning feel easy and enjoyable.

My English was rather rusty, but thanks to Tess, I am now fluent again. She is a truly excellent teacher, thoughtful, attentive, always ready to prepare materials and personalise your lessons. Her schedule is also very flexible, which is convenient for those who, like me, work. I would also add her personal qualities: Tess is an intelligent, sensitive person (she writes!) and also has a wonderful sense of humour. In short: highly recommended.

Today i did my first real lesson with Tess and it was really helpful. She prepared many exercises for the lesson based on the goals that i want to reach. It was a well spent hour!

I’ve been taking online lessons with Tess for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier. Her classes are always varied, interactive, and engaging. Tess is very knowledgeable and attentive, and thanks to her I’ve regained my fluency in English. I highly recommend her lessons!
