Kind words from students
“Lara is such a patient and gentle teacher. I’m grateful for the personalised learning plan she created for me!”
“Stepping into the first class was a little scary, but it turned out to be so much fun! I was worried I wouldn’t know what to say, but Tr Lara was awesome and patient. We played interactive games and talked about things I actually like. The time went by so fast, and I totally forgot to be nervous.”
“The class was great! Lara is very patient and attentive, which helps me feel less nervous using English to communicate.”
