My daughter has attended over thirty classes and she really enjoys them. Her English has also improved significantly! The teacher is both interesting and patient in class. After class, the teacher also shares the course content with parents in a timely manner, being truly conscientious and responsible. I'm so grateful to have met such an excellent teacher!

My twins feel excited on today’s class. Vanessa teach them a lot of vocabularies by playing game. This is a funny game to teach kids how to learn more words.

The lessons are interactive and forcing the kid to answer questions and talk. For smaller kids like my son (age 6) Vanessa prepares various materials depending on the interest and you can give her a tip what would be interesting for your kid, e.g. watching scooter stunts on YouTube etc. Vanessa also provides a report for each lesson, where parents can read what was exactly said. Thanks Vanessa!👍
