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!
