What students are saying about lessons with Vicky
Vicky is my ideal teacher! She prepares each lesson so that it is the most effective for improving my English skills.
We always discuss various topics and exchange opinions, which is very enjoyable. She provides plenty of opportunities to speak and gives appropriate advice, so I learn a lot every time. Thanks to her, I have become able to express my opinions in English.
Vicky is an excellent teacher, so I highly recommend her!
— M.I.
It’s been over three years since I started English lessons with Vicky, but I never get bored and am able to continue every week. Vicky prepares different topics each time and continues the conversation naturally (I’m very grateful for this) even with my poor English.
We’ve talked about various topics, from recent news to art, music, history, sports, and more. Hearing Vicky’s thoughts and opinions is truly inspiring, and I always discover something new.
From the perspective of English lessons, I’ve experienced several well-known large-scale English conversation lessons myself, but what I find particularly valuable compared to large-scale lessons is the emphasis on personalization and customization.
While large-scale English conversation schools also claim to be “tailored to the individual,” there are inevitably constraints imposed by their curricula, textbooks, or methods. However, Vicky decides on the topics, textbook selection, and direction of each lesson after consulting with me, and she accommodates a wide range of requests.
I myself want to continue the lessons, and I can feel my English skills improving.
Her English is clear and easy to understand, and I believe she can handle both British and American English.
In any case, I am confident that she will always provide a “customised English conversation lesson” tailored to my needs!
— Y.K.
I completed a custom art course (8 sessions) once a week.
Vicky is a rare teacher who combines basic teaching skills with creativity.
She customized the course based on my English learning goals and sample lessons.
She has a calm and warm voice, so you can relax and enjoy the lessons.
She also speaks beautiful British English, which I think will be a particularly pleasant encounter for those who are learning British pronunciation.
The homework assignments were likely customized as needed, and while the volume was manageable even while working, many of the assignments felt tailored to address my specific learning challenges, naturally leading me to approach them with serious dedication. Each week flew by.
The feedback after each lesson was prompt, well-organized, and easy to review.
When suggesting alternative expressions during conversations, she always respects my way of thinking and the parts I couldn’t express, and offers suggestions that best convey my intended meaning.
I completely agree with the reviews from other students, so I’ll skip the repetitive parts, but I think she has a high level of insight. I’ve found an amazing teacher.
