I had a great experience with teacher Hester. She helped me get ready for an interview. She prepared her lessons really well, using questions that matched the company's values and job requirements. She gave me a lot of useful feedback, which helped me improve my answers and feel more confident.
Her support and advice made me feel ready and sure of myself for the interview. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help preparing for an interview.

It’s my 5th class with Hester, and there are still so many things I want to learn from her! Her classes not only focus on improving my English but also on guiding me to perform better in my workplace.
She always tailors the class to maximize our learning outcomes. We discussed workplace visibility, establishing rapport with colleagues and managers, and most importantly, speaking proper English when I am organizing meetings or preparing reports.
Last but not least, her post-class notes are amazing! They give me the opportunity to review my key learnings whenever I want.

The class remains as wonderful as ever.
Thanks to Hester, I’ve come to truly understand that mastering a language involves more than just grammar and vocabulary; it’s about shifting my mindset and behaviors to align with the language’s nuances, understand the way people think, social etiquette, and cultural backgrounds.
When language learning starts to go beyond words, it becomes an exciting adventure.

A big thumbs up👍 for Hester. She is a thoughtful, professional tutor with well-structured and personalised class materials.
Today, our topics focused on my interviews with international companies. Hester provided some views that I had never noticed before (since there are huge cultural gaps between China and Ireland), gave me a better understanding of Western/European communication skills and clarified some language expressions that confused me for a long time.
I highly recommend anyone who wants to improve their English and communication skills study with Hester.
