At the beginning, I struggled a lot, even with forming the simplest sentences. Thanks to Shimaa, I’ve reached a great level. With the program she prepared and her patience in answering every question I had, she has been incredibly helpful. And of course, our lessons are always fun and enjoyable.

Maximum satisfaction. I've had dozens of lessons with Shimaa and I'm becoming more confident thanks to my conversations with her. Thanks to the fact that she eliminates the deficiencies in my grammar, even my foreign colleagues understand me. And that's a great achievement. Thanks to Shimaa.

Today’s class was very well balanced. We talked, practiced, and corrected a few things along the way without making it feel like too much.

I had a really good lesson today. The topics were interesting and I liked being able to share my own thoughts instead of just answering simple questions.
