我已经跟老师进行了沟通，希望这些天能天天练习，主要是为了练习雅思口语，老师很愿意帮助我，让我一天可以练习两次，现在我已经可以大胆开口表达了，虽然我还是说得不完美，可是老师总是鼓励我，让我继续说下去。我感觉真的不那么害怕开口说英语了。学了这么多年哑巴英语，过去真的太可惜。主要就是没有遇到像Elena老师， 愿意这样用心鼓励学生开口说英语的老师。非常感谢！

I’ve been learning with Elena on italki from HSK 1 all the way to HSK 4, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly patient and understanding—especially because I don’t have much time to study outside of class, so our lessons are basically my only study time. She never makes me feel bad about that and is always accommodating to my situation. She’s easy to talk to, open-minded, and genuinely enjoyable to learn with, which has helped me stay consistent and keep progressing. I highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a patient, flexible, and engaging teacher.

复习了上节课的内容，老师讲课很好。

Today we just talked about our day and weekend, and it branched off into other topics. Whenever I didn't know a word, my teacher would let me know and write it down for me to practice. Her teaching style is great!

我基础不好，老师一直鼓励我开口说英语，真的特别专业

老师很耐心，因为我的口语几乎为零，一直耐心纠正我，很温柔同时也向我确认了学习计划及方案
