I have really enjoyed Ava's classes. She assessed my level very quickly and had teaching materials ready to go right from the first class. Each class has a topic and a plan which I really appreciate.

Ava is a very patient and friendly teacher. Her lessons are very easy to follow and feel natural. I appreciate the visual presentations paired with verbal presentations and practice throughout the lesson. Will absolutely continue to work with Ava!
