Student stories
What our students say about us
Real experiences from professionals who improved their English confidence and communication skills through personalized coaching.
I've been learning with him for several years, and my English has improved significantly during this time. He always brings interesting and up-to-date topics to the lessons, which makes them engaging and never boring. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to develop their language skills in an enjoyable and effective way.
I really enjoy Szandi's classes — the atmosphere is always relaxed and natural. I'm the anxious type, but with her I always feel calm. She is always kind and patient with me. Since I started attending her classes, I feel much more confident when I need to speak in English.
I took private English classes with Alberto for three years, and I have nothing but positive things to say about his teaching skills, attitude, and mindset. He helped me significantly improve my vocabulary and speak English much more confidently and fluently. This helped me a lot during my everyday work, allowing me to confidently communicate on projects where I needed to work with foreign colleagues. He always brought interesting, up-to-date topics and engaging tasks to our lessons. Our classes felt like talking to a friend; we could freely share personal experiences and discuss a wide range of subjects in a very friendly and supportive atmosphere. I can really feel how much I've improved with Alberto's help. I am so glad I had the chance to work with him, and I highly recommend him!
I already arrived with a confident level of English, but with Szandra I managed to take it to a completely new level. She helped me communicate more naturally and fluently with business stakeholders, in a way that feels less textbook-like. The classes had a great atmosphere, and yet I could clearly feel myself improving throughout.
I really enjoy my classes with Alberto. He always brings a great variety of interesting topics that are highly relevant to my everyday work and help me improve not only my English but also my soft skills. He is very flexible and creates a relaxed, friendly atmosphere during the lessons, which makes learning both effective and enjoyable. I'm very happy that I chose him as my teacher and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English.
I really enjoy the classes because the main focus is on developing speaking skills, and the lessons flexibly adapt to our needs. Szandra has an incredibly kind and supportive personality and always creates a positive atmosphere, which helps me use English with much greater confidence.
I really enjoy these classes. The atmosphere is always so positive and supportive, and there's plenty of opportunity to practice speaking through varied and practical tasks. The topics are relevant to both work and everyday life, making the lessons easy to relate to. In my role, I'm in daily contact with colleagues from different countries across the region, and what I've learned here has been a big help in my everyday communication. Overall, the classes have definitely increased my confidence when speaking English.
With Szandra, English class is not an obligation for me, but a very pleasant experience — and one during which, not incidentally, I learn a great deal. Varied, inspiring, and entirely different from anything I had encountered before.
I've been working with Alberto on my Business English for over three years, and I can confidently say he's an exceptional tutor. Every session is engaging, practical, and tailored to real-world use. He's incredibly reliable, always well-prepared, and gives his full attention during classes. Thanks to him, my speaking skills and grammar have improved significantly. What truly sets him apart is his insightful and supportive personality, which makes learning both enjoyable and motivating. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English, regardless of level.
Working with Alberto has been transformative for my English skills. When I started, I could barely speak and felt really shy, but he created this safe, supportive space where I actually wanted to participate. He knows me so well that he brings topics tailored specifically to my needs and professional challenges, like work-life balance and other workplace concerns. What I love most is that he's both my teacher and my coach. He's helped me build my confidence, improve my vocabulary, and develop my speaking skills. I honestly can't recommend him enough.

Our lessons are designed mainly for intermediate to advanced learners — especially professionals using English at work, adult learners improving speaking fluency, and job seekers preparing for interviews. If you are unsure about your level, we will assess it during the trial session.
Most lessons are one-to-one, which allows us to fully personalize each session to your goals, level, and learning style. We may also work with small groups, such as partners, colleagues, or friends who want to learn together — provided students are at a similar English level.
Lessons are purchased in packages of 4, 8, 16, or 32 lessons to support consistent learning and steady progress. Larger packages include discounted pricing and additional rescheduling flexibility. Each package has a validity period to encourage regular learning.
Students may reschedule lessons with at least 24 hours notice. Each package includes a limited number of reschedules: 4-lesson packages include none, 8-lesson packages include 1, 16-lesson packages include 3, and 32-lesson packages include 6. Lessons missed without sufficient notice are counted as completed.
Rescheduling a group lesson requires all students in the group to confirm the new time at least 24 hours before the originally scheduled session. If only one or some students attend on the scheduled day — regardless of the reason — the lesson counts as completed for the entire group and no reschedule will be granted. This policy ensures fairness for the teacher and all students. We strongly recommend confirming any rescheduling request as a group well in advance.
Lessons can be paid by bank transfer or Revolut. Payment details will be provided when you book your lesson package. Packages are non-refundable once started.
The first step is to book a free 30-minute trial session. During this session we will discuss your goals, assess your English level, and recommend the best lesson plan for you. If everything feels like a good fit, you can then choose a lesson package and begin regular lessons.
