This is why we do what we do.

I had the pleasure of improving my spoken non-formal English with language instructor Michelle Onofrey in 20 online one-on-one conversational classes. I know Michelle as a professional language instructor for adults.

Michelle encouraged me to overcome a fear of public speaking in English as a second language. We discussed adventure sports and experiences in non-adapted English and explored our mutual fascination with power of outdoors.

What I liked about working with Michelle is how she generates an existing and unique topic-related content for each class. There are currently no comparable English courses online, which are dedicated specifically to extreme outdoor sports, which are set in a frame of incredible beauty of nature. Michelle is a real trailblazer.

I got important written feedback with corrections after every class, which I found useful and thought-provoking for me as a humble English learner.

Thank you.
