What they're saying. . . 

“Aimee demonstrated a talent for tailoring the course to what the company and students needed. I believe that this is what sets her apart. Aimee handled manners in a professional manner and invested time in and out of the classroom on developing a program that was mutually beneficial for the company and students . . . . In class, Aimee thrived at delivering lessons in a manner that all students could understand. She accounted for various comprehension levels and spoke in a very clear manner that all students appreciated. She created lessons that were engaging and encourages students to step out of their comfort zone. I believe the confidence the students gained will be the most beneficial to them and will benefit them not only in their English speaking but also in their day to day life.”
