“We found Teresa on a website and she seemed like the perfect teacher for us. Then we met her online and confirmed the impression: prepared, friendly, entertaining, immediately guesses what the problem or difficulty is with grammar or pronunciation... never had the lessons been so effective and fun at the same time.”
