As I work as a teacher in everyday life too, I know how important it is to consider different aspects of methodology and language learning and acquisition such as spaced repetition, student talking time, different kinds of approaches, i.e., lexical, and other.

I couldn't recommend Bella enough as a teacher: she is incredibly patient and caters lessons perfectly for your level, using interesting and varied materials to help along the way.

Bella is an amazing teacher! She's always very prepared for the lessons, and I always feel like she has a plan tailored to my needs. She has a very nice vibe and I always feel comfortable during the lessons, and this is also motivating me to come back regularly, which I find super important. I'm looking forward to a long learning plan with her! 😄
