Wow! Best language lessons ever because Emily responds to personal goals. Have studied French, Greek, Latin and Hebrew previously but never as engaging because Emily personalized the experience of learning! I am so happy!
My daughter loved her lessons with Emily. She now speaks 2 additional languages in addition to her first language.
My son says she's an excellent instructor. I have not been around for the lessons, but he has no complaint and is learning the language at a good pace.
