Hazel is awesome, very patient and sharing her way to remember Shona words and giving the English equivalent. I am learning at a good pace and using it at every opportunity.

My teacher was absent so I had to take courses with an other teacher. I have chosen Hazel and I don’t regret because she is very kind and helpful. I recommend this teacher. Thank you 🙏🏼
