Responsive and dedicated teacher

Emilia responds to our questions and concerns very responsively. The communication with her has always been extremely easy. She adapts her lesson plans flexibly depending on student’s needs. She is patient, thorough, and effective. In just a few months I am already witnessing a huge improvement in my son’s writing. Besides her professional skills, I am also impressed by her dedication to her students, always having student’s needs in mind. Emilia is not a regular tutor. She is a great teacher! Highly recommended!

Both knowledgeable and having strong patience.

With in few session she was able to notice weakness in my kid and started to correct him. One of the stand out quality in Emilia's teaching methods is uncovering students weakness quite early and working on it.

Very patient and adjust to the student needs

Kathleen has vast experience and she is helping my son with IB English class. So far we are very happy that she is helping him where he needs support. She is prompt for the classes but takes extra time to close if needed.
