“I was unbelievably lucky to work with such a great teacher. Janie not only gave me academic knowledge, but also supported me during difficult times. On my IELTS exam I felt absolutely prepared and wasn’t even nervous, which helped me to get the band I have never dreamed of (8.5). My English has definitely improved after a year with Janie, so now I am able to make my dream come true – study in the Uk.”
