What can you expect in lessons? * Each session begins with a check-in where we are able to activate your vocabulary related to everyday topics. Afterwards, we have the learning segment where we introduce a new concept and then spend the rest of the lesson making sure you are able to use what you have learned in conversation. * Before the lesson, you will be sent a PDF page with the lesson designed especially for you. * Throughout the lesson, you are given detailed feedback with notes recorded a Google Doc created especially for you. *At the end of the session, we review progress, new vocabulary, set homework, agree on goals for the next lesson

When I booked I thought it was a simple online lesson, but I was very surprised by the test to check my level in the language and how Mina has structured the test lesson. This is exactly what I was looking for and I'm sure it will help me in my language study.

Mina is a very well-prepared and supportive teacher. She has a lot of material resources, and she plans her lesson very well. Thank you Mina, the lesson today was really nice and completely tailored to the objectives and goals we had discussed. I am looking forward to the next lesson.
