  • I loved it! Esther was the best english teacher I've had. I wish could have a class with her everyday. She found my mistakes and focused on improving them. My English has improved a lot in a such short time. My co-workers have complimented me. I will definitely recommend OTUK to my friends.

  • I had a fantastic experience with Emma. She is well-prepared to teach online, and her teaching style is great. We discussed articles as well as current events from across the world in her classes, which opened my mind to new vocabulary and boosted my confidence in expressing myself during meetings and small talks. Emma was so helpful, I totally recommend her.

    Priscila M.

    United Kingdom, 11/05/2022
  • When I started my OTUK lesson, I struggled to speak English with my international colleagues at work. Lewis noticed quickly what I missed to manage conversation efficiently. It was not grammar or vocab. I didn’t know how to ask questions to clarify what speakers mean. After a year, my hesitation in speaking English disappeared completely, because I always knew what to do when I felt a little bit uncertain in a conversation. I’ve kept on learning though, because it was precious time for me to explore broad aspects of communication with him. Lewis, thank you very much indeed for awesome two and half years!

  • Since starting with Jen our children's abilities in English have dramatically improved, while the lessons stay fun and engaging. She has a high level of professionalism, focus on the need of the child while still paying attention to our (parents) opinions.

    Orstavik F.

  • Today has been the last of the 12 lessons I booked with Jen. I really enjoyed each of them, sharing feelings, telling personal decisions and events of my life, discussing opinions about different Education approaches. Jen is a very serious, careful, empathetic, motivating teacher, incredibly able to support and address your efforts to specific goals in a funny way every time, recognizing individual learning needs and focusing on them (grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, listening, etc). I am thinking I will continue having conversation classes with her because it will make me more fluent and feel more confident with my spoken and listening English. Thank you Jen! My best wishes. See you soon!
