I achieved my Duolingo target score with her help

She first asked me to do an assessment to evaluate my level, then she proposed a plan to which I agreed to work with. No time was wasted in her lessons, teacher Jen gave me valuable feedback so I could improve even outside of the class. I appreciate that she cared about my results. I highly recommend her.

An amazing teacher

I frankly like to work with Jen, is a good teacher and person.
She will notice straight away the weaknesses that you have, in the same way, will start to suggest where it can be improved.
I strongly recommend to start a journey in acknowledging better English language with her.

I highly recommend teacher JEN!

She shows real concern for my needs, she tried to understand me and guided me until I can do self-correction. Her lessons are based on the errors I make, and for me, that is a time saver because all discussions are according to things that I need to improve on.
