Nancy is highly professional and experienced. Just a few minutes into our first class, she encouraged me by saying it’s not that your vocabulary is limited as you described, it is just you need to get comfortable to bring it out. I can’t say this is magic, but just after two lessons I started to notice that I became more confident and the anxiety has disappeared. My goal is to express myself freely in English. I am so happy to embark on this journey and see results little by little.

Nancy is a very polite and patient teacher. She takes her time explaining concepts clearly and listens attentively. I have enjoyed her class because it has helped me brainstorm ideas and actively use English vocabulary that I previously knew but hadn’t incorporated into my daily conversation. I truly value having her as my teacher.

Learning from Nancy has been amazing so far. Even if I'm using English professionally everyday and in life, she was able to spot my mistakes and provide a way to improve my pronunciation and accent, while improving my vocabulary and idioms. After a few classes only I found that people make me repeat less. 5 stars!
