Joanna is a fantastic teacher. In less than a year, she helped me get the B2 certificate. Not only did she help me with grammar, but her classes are also varied and you also learn to understand and speak English fluently. She is a very patient and attentive teacher. Without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had.
