I’ve been taking English lessons since May 2024 to improve my skills, and I couldn’t be more pleased with Eleanor. She has extensive experience teaching English to non-native speakers, having lived in multiple countries. This global perspective makes her exceptionally skilled at understanding the challenges we face when learning English. What I appreciate most is how she tailors each lesson based on my progress, adjusting the content to ensure that it aligns with what I need to work on. She also uses a variety of teaching tools that make the lessons engaging and diverse, which keeps me motivated and excited to learn. Her patience is unmatched, and she always takes the time to discuss the topics I want to focus on. Whether it’s specific areas I need to improve or particular subjects I’m interested in, she’s always accommodating. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English skills – she’s been a fantastic teacher!
