I've been learning English with Barbara for several years (5), so my teenage son did. It's wonderful. I adored Barbara since I'd heard her speech here on iTalki and chose her as my teacher. And I didn't regret about it a single lesson. Barbara is a strong and powerful speaker with a huge carisma, but she managed to be a delicate, sensitive companion for conversation and she's very good and sympathetic with children. My son considers her as a one more grandma for their 5-year communication. My child, starting learning English with Barbara when he was 7, now feels himself very freely in English and I think it's a one of the greatest results of their work - where weren't exams, marks and other stressful things, just playing, fun and interesting thing. I strongly recommend Barbara as a teacher for both adults and children.

Barbara is such a great teacher! She teaches at the kids’ level and makes lessons fun by having them write poems or stories about topics they like. The kids feel so proud of their work and always tell me about it. We definitely want to keep having lessons with her!

My child values Barbara—not just as a teacher, but as a trusted friend. He always light up when talking about his classes and happily share little moments of his life with her in English, which means so much to us.
Beyond that, her professional guidance for my boy’s exams has been incredibly helpful. She’s made complex topics clear and boosted his confidence, and we truly appreciate her care and expertise.
