Fabio D.

7 English lessons

I am really glad to have met Elena. I have been studying English for years with many teachers and have a pretty good comprehension of grammatical rules. My problem is speaking and thinking in English. She is helping me to improve these weaknesses. I quite frankly can say that she is the best teacher I have ever had. I like her way of teaching. I feel she enjoys teaching, thus I feel more comfortable and her lessons are always interesting. She is also more than a tutor.

Philip C.

She will run through a series of exercises to constantly check on the progress. From time to time, she will recommend useful books which help my kids to pick up and build vocabulary and comprehend grammar more easier. My wife and I are very pleased with her diligent work with our children.
