Hello, I'm Kim and I'm a native English speaker from Birmingham, England. I'm a Cambridge Graduate with a Masters Degree in Social Anthropology. I also have Advanced Level qualifications in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Art; a professional qualification (HNC) in Medical Laboratory Sciences; and a First Class degree in Evolutionary Anthropology. During my degree, I never received less than a First Class mark in any assignment, and I'm keen to pass on my expertise in academic reading and writing to others.

We talked about prehistory and learnt new words. She corrected my mistakes, so this lesson was useful. I am looking forward to taking next lesson. Thank you!

Today in my speaking lesson, I talked about many topics, like LGBTQ, Swiss artists, and interesting cafes. I learned that some LGBTQ people use "they" as a pronoun. Online English lessons are fun because I can learn how the language is changing. My teacher, Kim, knows a lot and can talk about any topic. I really respect her.

Teacher Kim is always calm and intellectual. In our lessons, she shares fascinating articles and news about artificial intelligence, and we have thoughtful discussions. I highly recommend Teacher Kim to anyone looking to improve their academic English skills.

I really enjoyed this lesson. First, I had my blog writing corrected. Then, we discussed an article about willpower. Through this article, I was able to learn methods for maintaining motivation and continuing my studies and work. Additionally, we talked a bit about music. It was a fantastic lesson where I could balance learning all four skills, and I feel it was very enjoyable. Thank you!

In this lesson, I practiced speaking about everyday medical care. We talked about heatstroke, osmosis, and breast cancer screening, and I also learned some new vocabulary. I got some advice about my university study schedule as well. Teacher Kim has deep knowledge of every topic, so I look forward to taking her lessons every week—not just to improve my English, but also to broaden my general knowledge. Thank you!
