Student testimonials
What Students Have to Say
Real experiences from students whose confidence, communication skills, academic English and love for learning have grown through lessons with The Speaking Academy.
Her classes were engaging, and she always pushed students to form our own opinions rather than only memorising language rules. With her guidance, my English improved noticeably, and I felt far more ready for further language-related studies.
Greta · China
Her classes are really interesting and helpful. She is always friendly, encouraging and respectful to every student. With her support, I gained more confidence every time I spoke up and shared my own ideas.
Jasmine · Canada
She’s patient, easy to talk to, and always encourages me to speak more. What I like most is that our lessons feel more like real conversations than a traditional English class.
Dr Alex · China
The classes are practical and easy to follow. She speaks at a comfortable pace—not too fast like many native speakers—so everything is easy to understand. Every session is rewarding. Highly recommended!
