My trial lessons
During a trial lesson we will speak and get to know each other. I will ask you questions to assess your level of understanding and your grammar, and create a learning plan. I will let you know what your English level is at the end of the trial lesson. I do not teach during the trial lesson, however I do offer tips for improving quickly.
