"I wanted to improve my English for a trip to Scotland and then London.
I hadn´t spoken English for a long time but Ivan coached me over six months to get back in the swing of things.
We had lots of fun but I still worked hard!
After a slow and careful start, our sessions took shape and we used games, puzzles and lots of conversation practice.
I was amazed at how quickly I began to make progress.
My confidence grew and it wasn´t long before I was speaking with some fluency and more comfort.
Ivan is a diligent and caring teacher.
He showed lots of patience with me and I am so happy that I found him!
The UK trip went so well, I spoke English every chance I got and really enjoyed putting my skills into practice.
I totally recommend Ivan as a language coach and tutor".

"I am very happy with Ivan as my coach.
Just an hour and a half a week online and my ability to speak, read and write in English has surprised friends and family!
Initially, I was quite anxious, but over time I was able to overcome my limiting beliefs.
I thought that my existing English skills were so poor that improving them would
be impossible.Ivan is very creative. He designed games and used puzzles to help expand my vocabulary.
They suited my needs perfectly.
To be able to relax, enjoy and learn with lots of laughter meant that I soon began to look forward to my sessions.
Now I am on a formal language course but I still see Ivan every week as I find it continues to support my progress.
He is also patient and kind, giving feedback and making suggestions for improvement.
Especially on pronunciation and grammatical accuracy.

"I am training to be a Technical Engineer and needed to improve my English.
I found Ivan online and he was kind enough to accept me.
Our sessions are fun and I still work hard.
We agreed to work on specific areas of language improvement.
I came to England three years ago from Syria. I already had a little English but, it was very basic.
As I saw it, my skill deficit meant I used to avoid speaking unless necessary.
I was basically hiding!
One year later I am much more confident and at ease.
I am reading great literature, socialising more and really enjoying myself.
If you had said back then that I would speak fluent English, I would have struggled to imagine it
But here I am.
Ivan is patient and kind, considerate and understanding. All great qualities in a teacher.
Improving my English has been a key to the door of opportunity and increased self confidence.
I recommend Ivan without reservation.
