I love helping people learn, understand and speak a new language, giving them more confidence! Hi, I´m Francisca!

Just had my second session and feeling really positive and motivated, it's great to practice speaking and be able to check and correct words as I go, and Francisca is so clearly spoken and pleasant to speak to! Looking forward to my next session, I'll be revising my new words!

Francisca is a great match for me. I'm actually a conversational English teacher myself so I knew beforehand what I was looking for: someone patient, friendly and fun to hang out with.

Was a pleasant conversation where I was able to demonstrate currently ability. She was able to teach completely in Norwegian which I really enjoyed. I was able to ask quick questions in English when necessary, but overall had a really fun time and really boosted my confidence.
