The lesson was planned down to the minute. She helped me find specifically where I can improve, and gave many ideas on how I can continue learning.

I love the structure, paired conversations, and video clips that Ava provides. It allows me to learn quickly as I am engaging in the conversation and putting the new words into practice. not only that, but Ava is attentive and helps refresh any previous lessons that I may still be confused by referring to her past material. She answers questions very clearly, I would highly recommend her as a teacher!
