We’ve just finished our course with Katherina, and it was really excellent. We have had our classes for about an academic year and success is obvious. First of all, I passed my FCE test with a rather good grade, but the second step — a preparation and taking IELTS gave an outgardeous result — I’ve got 7,5 bands, wich seems to be perfect. Our classes were focused on the most difficult and necessary aspects and topics. Furthermore, we did a lot of extra activities, such an essay writing, which helped me to improve this side a lot. I was to thank my teacher for her professionalism and excellent communicative skills.
What I want to say — that if you really want to feel the TASTE of language, you must speak to Katherina. She is able to show you English from A to Z in a live flood. Even the way of my thinking has changed! I’ve recently passed my FCE exam and I can say that it was very simple in comparison with our lessons. Katherina was with me from the point of departue till the point of destination — till the last hours before the exam. So I have to say big thanks to her and advice her lessons to everybody.
Доброго времени суток! Хочу поблагодарить своего учителя Katherina, с ней было очень приятно заниматься, всегда интересно, отличная практика разговорного, также, она верно подбирает материалы для занятий! Практикуется и грамматика, и речь, и чтение, весьма хороший учитель для изучения иностранного языка! Рекомендую!
Сначала EfL меня не особо приятно удивил в плане сервиса, никто не перезвонил, достаточно скупо отвечали на e-mail. Но это все мелочи,в итоге мы договорились о пробном занятии с Katherina Wiss, пробное занятие мне не очень понравилось. Судя по всему мне вообще в тот период ничего не нравилось)))
Но я решила продолжить занятия с Katherina и не пожалела, это удивительно легкий и интересный в общении человек, который разговорит кого угодно. Научит всему, и как строить правильные выверенные фразы, и как в случае чего ругнуться культурно :) Материалы подбираются под уровень и предпочтения ученика, статьи современные и актуальные,особенно рекомендую девушкам!! Девча, если вы боитесь разговаривать, то тут все как рукой снимет, можно и о сериалах любимых поговорить и о готовке и как себя в ресторане вести :) При желании можно и про космос и науку конечно :)
В целом, занимаюсь по 45 минут, 2 раза в неделю в течении где-то месяца. Думала толка никакого не будет, т.к. прихожу уставшая и убитая после работы. Но нет, уже чувствую результаты, в мозгу всплывают новые слова, а на урок уже иду с желанием что-нибудь рассказать из случившегося:)
