Reviews

Janet is a strict yet highly experienced and effective English teacher, and I really enjoyed her class. She kept me motivated to learn, and both my colleagues and I could clearly feel our English awareness and confidence growing. My English improved a lot during the course, and even more importantly, she helped me build good learning habits through assignments and other ways of improving. She is the kind of teacher I would happily recommend to anyone I know.
