I took business English lessons with Teacher Smith, and it was an awesome experience! She's super nice. Whenever I'm confused, she explains things clearly. What's really good is that she customizes the lessons for me. Because of her, I'm more confident in my spoken English. I'd highly recommend her to anyone needing to learn business English!

I'm an adult who learned she has a big gap in the knowledge of tenses. I just used them based on a feeling my whole life as I never academically learned English. So when I realized I wanted to fill this gap with theory, Teacher Smith was just amazing in preparing a customized course of simplified tenses for me, so I could naturally learn them not being overwhelmed with the information I missed for so a long time. Again and again, thank you, dear Smith, I'm enjoying our tenses journey so much, even though sometimes it takes my last energy :-)
