I have been taking classes with my Teacher for a year now, and she is incredibly professional. A year ago, my grammar was absolutely awful, but I have been working on it and am steadily improving. I can now read different types of books, and my comprehension has definitely gotten better. I would highly recommend my Teacher not only for her professional skills but also for her kindness.

My thirteen-year-old niece received ESL lessons from Joan, who was consistently punctual with each appointment. Joan tailored lesson plans to meet my niece's specific needs and made sure to review all material covered in previous lessons. Additionally, Joan was highly accommodating with scheduling requests.
