Holly is absolutely fantastic. You can never meet a teacher like her. She is the best English tutor I have ever met online. Her intelligence and empathy make for engaging and enjoyable conversations, no matter what the topic is. She seems to understand exactly what I'm interested in, and she always comes prepared with interesting articles and YouTube clips to keep me motivated. I really look forward to every class with her.

She is a very patient teacher, and she also lived in Taiwan, so she's very close to the student.

I mainly want to practice everyday small talk to adapt to life ahead. My teacher fully understood my needs and went above and beyond to support me—so thoughtful. I’m so happy to have met such an amazing teacher!
