I've been learning English with Barbara for several years (5), so my teenage son did. It's wonderful. I adored Barbara since I'd heard her speech here on iTalki and chose her as my teacher. And I didn't regret about it a single lesson. Barbara is a strong and powerful speaker with a huge carisma, but she managed to be a delicate, sensitive companion for conversation and she's very good and sympathetic with children. My son considers her as a one more grandma for their 5-year communication. My child, starting learning English with Barbara when he was 7, now feels himself very freely in English and I think it's a one of the greatest results of their work - where weren't exams, marks and other stressful things, just playing, fun and interesting thing. I strongly recommend Barbara as a teacher for both adults and children.

My daughter saw my son having an English lesson with Ms. Barbara and said she wanted to have a lesson with her too. So, she had her first lesson recently. My daughter is still young and not yet fluent in English, but Ms. Barbara kindly taught her with great patience. Since my daughter loves cats, Ms. Barbara showed her pictures of cats to prompt questions and guided her to express herself in different ways. Barbara is an excellent teacher, and I am always grateful to her.
