Testimonials
Olga is an outstanding English tutor who I highly recommend. Her teaching style is incredibly effective, and she takes the time to personalize her approach to fit the needs of each individual student. I appreciate the way Olga communicates with her students. She is patient, understanding, and always willing to listen to my questions and concerns. She provides clear and concise instructions and is always willing to go the extra mile to help me understand difficult concepts. She is an exceptional teacher who has helped me improve my English in countless ways. Her teaching style, expertise, and communication skills make her an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their English language skills.
When I started working with Olga, I thought I has in hell LOL! I was working with another college advisor at that time, and went to Olga only because my mom pushed me to get the second opinion. When I gave my college essay to my other advisor, she would give me 1 or 2 suggestions, Olga gave me like 15 and demanded that I rewrote the whole thing! I am glad I did! After all , I was shooting for an Ivy League school and needed to show my best sides. She convinced me to tailor my whole application in CommonApp for my dream school. I got accepted to NYU and can’t wait to move to the Big Apple in a few weeks.
I highly recommend Olga! She has helped me so much with my ACT prep. From the first session, I could tell that Olga really cares about her students. She made each lesson fit my needs and made sure I understood everything. Her teaching style is fun and effective, making even hard topics easier to understand. I was looking forward to our sessions! Thanks to Olga, I got high scores on my ACT test, and got accepted to every college I applied for.
Olga is not just a tutor, she is a couch. First I hired her to help me improve my English writing skills, but ended up working with her for over two years not only on my English, but also consulted her on resume writing, job search, and even life situations. She has been my teacher, inspiration, support, and the biggest cheerleader. She is what every new immigrant needs to find their place and success here. I can’t thank her enough!
Great place to enhance your English skills! Success is a dance of your willingness to work independently and your tutor's professionalism. Olga and her amazing team helped me a lot to elevate my English skills and get through the job training for my next big career move. Thank you!
Olga was a lifesaver when it came to my college essay. Her guidance and feedback were invaluable. She helped me brainstorm ideas, organize my thoughts, and refine my writing to make my essay stand out. Olga was patient, supportive, and always available when I needed advice. Thanks to her help, I was able to submit a polished essay that truly represented me. I couldn't have done it without her.
Olga is one of the most genuine tutors that you will ever find. She is very patient and easy to talk to, and I always look forward to her lessons each week. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their English.
