Chelsea is an excellent teacher!!! Chelsea and I have been working together for about one year and I always really enjoy our lessons a lot! She is always prepared perfectly, very positive, very professional and very, very friendly. The lessons with Chelsea are always wonderful, because they are fun, engaging, and informative. I'm a language teacher myself so I feel qualified to judge her teaching ability. She is very supportive, kind, patient and helpful!!
My grades in University have improved thanks to Chelsea.
I have learnt a lot, because she explains grammar and vocabulary points very clearly with examples.
I recommend her without hesitation, because she is indeed a perfect and, in my opinion, the best teacher!!
Thank you very much for everything, Chelsea!
