“I'm really pleased we found Alima (which, surprisingly I did via instagram). Her lessons and courses are well planned and communicated, which gave me confidence in advance of her teaching and the learning outcomes. Alima builds a lovely rapport with her students, and has helped build my daughter's confidence in contributing answers and too disucssion. My daughter first tried the free vocabulary builder sessions, which were valuable in both learning new words, and getting a sense of where to focus. She then did the 6 week English course, which has helped develop and strengthen my daughter's English skills. I would gladly recommend Alima. I find her warm and approachable, creating a positive learning environment, combined with well planned lessons to build and strengthen English skills.”
“Alima is a first class teacher and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She connected with my daughter immediately and made the lessons both fun and impactful with her intuitive teaching style and creative materials and activities. She also provided structured and clear feedback on progress and areas of focus which was really helpful. My daughter absolutely loves her and looked forward to every lesson which I think really says it all. Thank you so much.”
“Alima is an exceptional teacher who has a great talent for explaining difficult concepts in a way that is both clear and engaging. Her patience and positive attitude creates a supportive learning environment where my daughter feels encouraged to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. Alima is incredibly dedicated, responsible and always well-prepared for her classes. She plans her lessons, incorporates diverse teaching methods to cater to different learning styles, and continuously seeks innovative ways to enhance my daughter’s learning experiences. I would highly recommend her!”
