Pintao Z.

Lorraine are very kind and patient to teach me English. She can express every point very concretely. I believe my English skill will improve a lot with her help!

Christy H.

7 English lessons

As a result it was difficult to find a tutor that met my level. Because Douglas was previously an Editor, he is really good at helping me improve my written English. Douglas is also a good listener and he catches my errors and corrects me when I make any mistake in my spoken English. As a result I’m more confident and comfortable engaging in conversations with native English speakers, not only on work related matters, but also on other random topics.

Miryan P.

1 English lesson

Cheri taught me that for every single word in English there are not specific rules. I took her advice seriously and I need to pay more attention when I listen people talking in English for the correct stress and pronunciation of words. I really appreciated the candid and professional she was with me. I definitely will meet with her again to learn more about correct English pronunciation.
