I'm really pleased with how the platform operates. It was effortless to discover teachers who perfectly matched my requirements. The lessons I received were exceptionally satisfying, and I feel like I've made significant progress in my English within a short period. The ability to create and personalize my lesson schedule to suit my work commitments was a huge advantage.

I enjoy learning English with Jacob and Brian. Their teaching style is relaxed, and I find it easier to understand English now. The website is user-friendly, and I appreciate receiving reminders for each of my lessons, the free cancellation policy is very useful!

The platform is simply amazing. The teachers are also incredibly warm and friendly. I took advantage of the discounted introductory lessons and had the opportunity to meet different teachers. The lessons are more like a friendship than a teacher-student relationship.

Emma teaches my daughter English in a very fun way. She is always cheerful and makes the lessons more enjoyable. I consider it a great opportunity to have met Emma through this application and to have her teach us English!

I started learning English from scratch. I worked with Teacher Umut for the first 3 months. When I reached a level where I could communicate without Turkish support, I continued working with my teacher Jade. I am very satisfied with the system. I recommend it to anyone who wants to take lessons regularly and aims to overcome English as a barrier in their life.
