Katherine is extremely helpful to me, because she gives me amazing feedback especially when it comes to sentence structure/word usage or grammar. My biggest weakness is speaking and expressions and I feel like i’ve improved since having conversation classes with her :)
I am very grateful to have her as a teacher!
