Christine is such a cool teacher! Our lessons are more than just a simple repetition of words or grammar. Every lesson is unique, with an interesting theme to discuss. You are free to speak your mind and ideas, and you feel comfortable because Christine knows how to maintain a cozy atmosphere. And stimulates you not only learn English, but also to learn something new, e.g. how people live in poorest state of USA. Highly recommend to learn English with Christine!
