Tutoring Services
|
Meet with a native English speaker and talk about anything you want. You can enjoy conversation over coffee (or even skype) once a week with a friendly person. I will pair you up with a partner who is a good match for you depending on your interests and schedule.
This is a very personal way to improve your English rapidly.
