May was very cheerful and friendly. She was very prepared with a presentation and asked questions to guide the conversation and helped with vocabulary and explanations of the different ways something can be said.

May has been really great to work with. She's really good at explaining grammar concepts and how words are used in different situations. Her classes are a great mix of conversation and learning new words/concepts/phrases, and she's really helpful in tailoring topics to what you need to know or what you're interested in. As an adult learner, I really appreciate her explanations!

May was so engaging and kind. She made the class fun for my seven year old who is just starting to learn. She was effective in teaching him the lesson. This was only a trial class but I will definitely be buying more class with May.
