Teacher’s pick
Olga has mastered the elusive art of being very professional and amiable at the same time.
One thing that truly stands out is her exuberance and zest for teaching. She shows enthusiasm for her work and nurtures a student at every point.
She integrates the use of technology to its best effects.
I would like to emphasise that she stays longer if a student hasn't finished the task.
She is a patient and committed teacher who substantially exceeds all the expectations. I hold her in high esteem.

Olga has been my teacher for years now (although I had various breaks on my language learning path) and I can really vouch for her commitment and availability. She never stops a lesson until we covered everything, even if we are overtime, she is really attentive when I am talking so she can spot my main weaknesses over time, answers all my questions and takes time afterwards to find relevant homeworks to send me. I am glad I can rely on Olga for my language goal: even when I stop learning for months and sometimes years, she is always ready to help me back on track when I start again!
