9 English lessons

Elena taught me how to speak, read and write with proper English. She taught how to speak with correct pronunciation, so I can reduce my accent. After Elena taught me everything I need to improve my English. Now, I can speak English more confident and natural than before. Also I can write English with correct grammar. As someone who has gone through her English tutorial. I highly recommend Elena; she has extensive knowledge of teaching English for ESL student.

We are also surprised that my daughter is able to write her diary in English after two weeks, we can feel she's enjoying learning English with Tiffani. 4-weeks run so fast, my daughter had to leave California, and she told us that she would appreciate all the help Tiffiani has given to her, and she would learn English even harder because she likes learning English, I guess that is somewhat enjoyment and confidence she has gotten from Tiffani.

First of all, Karen always makes me feel at ease. This gives me confidence, so I enjoy speaking English. Even if I use broken English or my pronunciation is repeatedly wrong, she corrects my mistakes kindly. That is a big chance for to me to improve my English without fear. Karen's tolerant attitude encourages me to speak English more. I have also learned to speak English efficiently in class with Karen.
