Nancy's personalized approach, patience, and engaging teaching style made every session enjoyable and remarkably effective. From the outset, I felt comfortable and supported, which greatly enhanced my learning experience. Thanks to her classes, I have seen a significant improvement in my American English accent, but I've also gained a newfound confidence in my ability to communicate effectively. Nancy's expertise in phonetics was evident in her tailored lessons, which targeted my specific areas for improvement. Her encouragement and constructive feedback motivated me to consistently strive for progress. I wholeheartedly recommend Nancy's classes to anyone looking to refine their English pronunciation.

Nancy is a wonderful English instructor. I highly recommend Nancy to other adults who wish to gain a stronger grasp of everyday conversations. She’s extremely personable and quickly determined the areas that I needed to focus on first. I love how she uses my personal stories and experiences to teach me proper grammar and use of the English language. English is my second language as I grew up speaking Spanish in Mexico til my early twenties when I immigrated to the US. I am a US citizen and have been living in the US for the past 30+ years. Nancy is honing my grammar and giving me the confidence to have meaningful conversations in English.
