    Airi is a great coach who gave precise and instant response to my questions and issues even in a short trial session. I can feel that she is experienced, professional and also very kind to provide the help and support. Now I am starting first 10 courses with her, highly recommended for immediate or above level English skills, or even leadership/career courses. You can give it a try!

    Great to address the problem that I tend to illustrate the situation than giving concrete examples in the past
