Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that after you left this feedback, we had a further discussion and agreed on the place where the session will take place and found a convenient time slot. I look forward to working with your daughter later today!
Arina is a fantastic and enthusiastic tutor, the lessons are well prepared and structured, with lesson notes forwarded promptly after each session. Her lessons have improved my daughters confidence in the subject immeasurably and her enthusiasm and encouragement have motivated my daughter and helped her to really enjoy the Russian language. I would wholeheartedly recommend Arina.
The email communication is very prompt and efficient, and she always keeps us parents informed before and after the lesson.
I'd recommend Arina if anyone looking for a responsible tutor for their child.
She is very patient, never critical, and has a gentle tone when tutoring. Her lessons are also very well organised and she tries to make them fun and varied.
My son has gained a good momentum with her tutoring and has started taking interest in English as a subject which was far behind his favourites at a time.
Thanks Arina for all your efforts and feedback that helps him progress and gives confidence to take up challenging assignments.
I now feel much more confident in my skills and language.
I highly recommend her as a teacher, Thank you Arina!
Thank you for your hard work in supporting my nephew as he develops his english language skills.
Your personal approach is great, and Romeo enjoys his lessons with you.
Your expertise in teaching has put our minds at ease. We hoping to keep working with you on a long term basis.
as less familiar with the GCSE syllabus we were not able to take this forward. Her strengths lie in higher level English tuition and she is excellent in that domain.
