Remarkable improvement
After carefully assessing my speaking abilities, Billie designed an engaging and highly effective learning plan tailored precisely to my needs. She worked methodically through every sound that required attention, employing a delightful blend of concise explanations, customized exercises, and wonderful poems, rhymes, and other activities that were both enjoyable and worth revisiting. As I’m currently in teacher training myself, she also thoughtfully highlighted how I might adapt certain activities for my own learners. My pronunciation improved remarkably, and I found myself genuinely sorry when our ten lessons drew to a close far too quickly.
