Thank you for the lessons and I hope to be able to engage you again in the future once I have addressed my upcoming expenses.
Sindi is an experienced and organized English teacher. She structures well the classes so the time is not wasted during each session. Neus and I are really happy with the outcome.
She is very experienced and we get along well. She made sure to tailor the course to my needs as opposed to using a cookie-cutter course. Also with this being my first foreign language I really appreciated that she focused on the basics and didn't overload my brain with the more technical aspects of the language. She goes at a good speed but is thorough on making sure we understand the material. Amanda is really explaining it so I can understand how to read the language, verbs, etc.
I achieved my goal and was able to test into Basic Swedish 2 here at Uppsala University and also feel that I have learned a tremendous amount from Charlotte so I am extremely satisfied with my experience. She could understand me and what I need in order to enhance my English skills. I'm looking forward to the future lessons. Yuri is a wonderful Japanese teacher. She's amazing! Thank you. Seoyeon's flexibility to accommodate my boss' schedule works best with our need. She makes learning Norwegian so easy.
Long is very thoughtful and he is a good teacher. We are having fun. I have made a lot of progress. I am taking two weeks off from the lessons as I will be visiting Vietnam next week for the Tet.
Thank you for checking in with me about the lessons. This has been such a positive experience; I never dreamed that I would be so happy to continue with my language study. I was impressed with how well-organized and professional your organization seemed to be, and I knew I needed one-on-one lessons. I really loved her classes, and appreciated the flexibility in scheduling. Sergio is a very good teacher: he is very professional, helpful, pleasant, courteous and prompt.
He is very professional with his lessons and makes the material easy to understand. I would highly recommend him for Spanish lessons. I was completely lost when we started and she gave me direction. I am reading and writing much better now. My teacher was very nice and very instructive. I now have a good starting point and direction on what to learn and how to learn it. And I choose Language Trainers because of the flexibility and the price. I had the best impression about the her, and would warmly recommend her as a Spanish teacher.
The kids are enjoying the lessons and have started using the language. Thank you! Anthonella is a great teacher and I like learning with her very much. She has strong skills in teaching languages and is a smart, kind and funny person who is very pleasant to talk with. She worked on all of the things that I asked and was always well prepared for our Spanish lessons. She adapted early on to my needs as an intermediate-level student, and she has been especially helpful with the nuances of native pronunciation and idioms.
Given that the Covid situation has not currently allowed in-person sessions, this has been an excellent substitute. Dewison is an excellent Portuguese language teacher! She is a great instructor and very interested in helping me to achieve all my French language goals. We switched to online using Zoom and will continue to do so, as this has proven to be an excellent option! I am definitely progressing and Fabrizio has been a huge help!
We are progressing as expected, and Jaya has been doing a good job. I was very lucky to have him. And thank you, Language Trainers, for staying in the loop. I know self-study programs, like Babble, are popular. But for me, nothing takes the place of the one-on-one learning I received. Lucia is an excellent teacher, and I would recommend her to any student.
Actually, the 3 teachers I studied with were all excellent. Thank you very much for picking them! Jolie was a great teacher and very patient. She really tailored the course to what I wanted to learn, as well as what she thought would be most useful to me. I learned way more with her in just a few months than a previous group class I had taken!
Zoom has been life-changing! Kamala creates a good virtual classroom and makes good use of digital materials: really wonderful! Jaya is very good and she focuses on the topics where we need more training. Besides being a native speaker, his knowledge of languages and experience teaching languages are evident in how he breaks down the language to us. I am happy with the program and with my teacher, Beatriz.
She was a great teacher. She understood what my goals in learning Polish were, and she really did a great job! Beatriz is an excellent teacher. My personal experience with him has been outstanding. He is very easy to communicate with and has shown flexibility and understanding every time that any change has been required. I heard from his students that he is an excellent teacher, very committed with the classes, and always providing material for them to study outside of class.
There is just so much to learn it will take me a few years to really be able to speak and understand Arabic but I knew that going into this. Yousef has given me a great base to start from.
Lior blends very thorough language training with cultural aspects which inform me on the proper context for specific words. I am absolutely happy with the collaboration I have with Lior. Chloe is amazing at making me feel comfortable while encouraging me to speak another language. Yousef is great! He has been a great teacher and I highly recommend him. I love the class and I feel like Fabrizio is the best teacher I could have been placed with! When the time I have already booked is up, I would love to sign up for more classes!!
I think he is very valuable as a person and a teacher, and I am very impressed with how committed and excited he is when giving each class. He loves what he does! Alejandro seems very qualified and motivated. Thank you for all your help and attention, Language Trainers! Anna is a great teacher. She is very patient with me and really pushes me to get better.
Lucia, my Spanish teacher. We had a very good interaction and she was able to keep our meetings interesting, helpful and professional. I would strongly recommend her to Spanish learners of all levels. And thank you, Language Trainers! It was good to know that you were there, watching our backs! It takes a special type of person to be able to teach a grown adult how to speak a new language. The teacher must be understanding, patient, and diverse. According to your advertisements, it seemed to me like you specifically seek out people like this.
The lessons are going great so far! I'm being challenged to find and use everyday words in my normal speech. I have a long way to go but I feel Nara will be able to help me accomplish my goals. My schedule is difficult to navigate due to working nights and very long hours. I want so badly to learn Spanish because I love languages and I want to serve my patients better than I can currently without speaking their language. I am slow to learn but will stick with it mainly due to my amazing instructor.
Carmen is universally outstanding; professional, kind, personable, intelligent, flexible and all-round best of the best! I am thoroughly enjoying the lessons. Meropi is doing an excellent job of teaching me. Ehrmann is very nice. Beatriz continues to be an excellent teacher. She is very encouraging. We thought Jefreen was kind and like his teaching method. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his French is beautiful.
We really appreciate his flexibility as well! I am thoroughly impressed with Derek as a tutor; his skills are outstandingly high. I think this is exactly what my wife needs. Derek is pushing boundaries appropriately while making the lessons fun. Thanks a lot for introducing me to Akiko! I find languages very difficult so we are moving at a slow pace. Emily is a fantastic teacher. We look forward to our weekly appointments.
She is very flexible with our schedules and has been very good about teaching to 2 completely different levels of German understanding between my wife and me. She explains things well, and is attentive to the areas I'd like to improve. She goes above and beyond in helping me with my specific questions, troubles, and needs. I chose Language Trainers because I liked what I read when looking up the company online.
It seemed professional, and able to accommodate my budget and schedule. She is very good at planning lessons and taking me through any questions I may have. I'm enjoying the course very much. I think it's moving at a great pace and everything we're covering is very tailored and helpful.
Thanks so much! He is very on task and maximizes each and every lesson. He also makes sure to make connections between Modern Standard Arabic, which I know, and Egyptian, which I am learning.
We are finishing up with my first book and I already have the next one ordered. Depending on how far we get in the next book, I may like to learn Business Arabic! Nachum is an excellent teacher. I couldn't believe how much I learned in two hours. I am very happy and excited about this course. I think that Fabrizio is the exact teacher I needed! Certainly, Language Trainers has earned a 5-star rating!!
She not only knows Japanese but has experience teaching it and her English is perfect. She also speaks Mandarin and Taiwanese! She is an excellent teacher! I am looking forward to progressing through the program. Miriam is an excellent teacher who seems to know exactly what we need. We have had to reschedule a couple of lessons due to sickness, but she has been very flexible and helpful. It has worked out for the best that we chose the Skype option.
Tomorrow we will be taking a trip to visit family and friends, and thanks to Skype we can take Miriam with us. Thanks for connecting us with her. I appreciated her level of engagemement and all subjects in discussion. She's smart and professional. I will recommend her and Language Trainers if somebody needs English lessons.
We have done a lot of the basic verbs, numbers, time and greetings mostly on paper and with flash cards. We are going to begin an oral approach for the next several lessons.
Leo says he will only speak Spanish and Jim and I will only reply in Spanish. Leo feels that it is more important at this point to speak some basic spanish well, rather than to add new vocabulary words. And in the book when the dialogues are written, we can now understand the message. I'm having such a good time with her. We are studying basic grammar and vocabularies from the book that she chose for me and will start reading some articles from Fashion magazine.
Virginia was hands down the best instructor I have ever had. I went from speaking no French to being able to have conversations with my in-laws in France. I have already recommended your organization to several of my colleagues and recommended your programs to my National Guard unit commander.
What I have learnt has been a great help for my upcoming trip to Sweden. I would also like to thank my trainer, Christina, who is excellent and very professional!
I completed some quizzes Candace had prepared for me and the results were positive. Candace has been a good teacher and she was always well prepared. She assigned homework assignments for me and personalized her teaching plan according to my needs. Of course I wish I had had more time to study English at home and to prepare for my lessons but with a job and two small kids I don't have much time left to other activities.
