Teacher’s pick

Kirsty is a brilliant teacher and a charming person. My aim was to get ready for the CAE within one month by self-studying. Thanks to Kirsty, I can now confirm that I feel ready for the exam!

Kirsty is a spectacular teacher. She has helped me with my writing and it has been very helpful. She has a broad understanding of different phenomena from everyday life to scientific terminology and I really love working with her.

Thank you very much indeed for your fantastic lesson! I learned a lot thanks to your greatly professional advice and was able to grab what is needed for me to prepare the Cambridge exam. She is not only professional but also warm and friendly which helped a nervous student(like me) talk and practise. Just admired! ;)
