"It gives us pleasure to see people like our tutor interacting with another language. It makes It easier for us to communicate with the people around us. I like that our tutor is patient, fun, very nice, and above all, that she has the delicacy and kindness to be able to share the knowledge with people like us who do not know the English language. So my son and I are very grateful for being taught and sharing those teaching moments with us. Thank you."
