What people say
Cynthia, student
I helped at my daughter's dance performance by organizing and serving lunch with other English-speaking volunteers. It was the first time I felt comfortable enough to use English with other moms. It was fun and my daughter noticed my new confidence.
Elena, student
I have enjoyed my time in LA because I met you! Not only did you teach me English skills, but I was also able to touch American culture. Above all, as a new mom, I had a lot of worries, but your advice saved me. I am sincerely grateful.
Jess, tutor
I know that one hour of personalized learning can rival the efficacy of multiple hours in a conventional classroom setting.
