Nancy is a very professional and dedicated instructor. She is flexible and very understanding when schedule changes come up. She always comes prepared with great conversation topics and materials for the class. Her level of teaching is excellent, and she guides the lessons in a way that helps improve my English, especially focusing on my work and daily life situation. I have to pause my classes for now due to personal circumstances, but as soon as I’m able to resume, I would definitely love to take classes with her again.

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.
