    It's lucky for me to have Lisa as my teacher. It's not easy to find a teacher who truly cares for you and connects with you. Lisa is super thoughtful for her students.

    I’ve been learning with Lisa for around a year, and it has truly transformed my English skills. Each lesson is tailored to my needs, making learning both effective and enjoyable. More importantly, she always makes me aware that my English is not as bad as I thought, which has really helped with my confidence in speaking English. Lisa’s background as a former university academic has been especially helpful in refining my writing for academic applications. Her expertise makes her the perfect tutor for anyone looking to improve their English for professional or academic purposes. She is patient, knowledgeable, and makes even the most challenging topics easy to understand. If you're looking for a tutor who can guide you through formal writing for academic purposes, I highly recommend Lisa. I’ve gained so much confidence and clarity in my applications thanks to her guidance.
