Reviews
Karine has taught me the language with such incredible patience and understanding, and I'm so thankful for how much effort she puts into each and every lesson.
I'm amazed at how far I have come in such a short amount of time. My grammar has improved significantly, I'm able to communicate better with native English speakers. I owe it all to Karine.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Karine to anyone who needs to learn or improve their English language skills. She is a great communicator and puts her heart and soul into her classes. Her enthusiasm is contagious and makes learning enjoyable.
I'm sure that others will benefit the same way I have.’

The feedback was clear and was effective in helping me to develop my writing skills. Karine focused on my individual learning goals and provided me with essential guidance when needed. Thanks to Karine’s tuition I managed to significantly improve my IELTS band score in a short period of time.’

Karine is always fully present and she creates an interactive environment which allows me to understand matters clearly and to progress quickly. She is always willing to incorporate my ideas into the classes and also brings her own input.
Over the course of our lessons, my English has improved significantly, and in particular my writing and speaking skills. We are still working on my pronunciation. Most importantly, I've now got more confidence in my meetings and presentations. I always look forward to having my next class with Karine.’

I came across Karine’s profile over a year ago when seeking more tailored English classes. Karine not only helped me with my English, but also in many other aspects of my life.
Initially, our English classes were more IELTS focussed, with some general English to help with vocabulary and grammar rules. Once I had started my master’s degree at King’s College London, we changed the format of our classes, to focus on my presentations, assessments and thesis. For instance, Karine would proofread my thesis in advance, and in our classes we would go through any mistakes. She would also listen to my presentations and give feedback on them, to help me to improve my communication skills. What impresses me most is her broad knowledge of many different subjects.
Karine is a very talented teacher and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take their English to the next level.
Thank you Karine.'

Karine finds engaging topics for homework and class discussion that will not only improve your knowledge and speaking, but will also be genuinely interesting to you. Homework turns from a boring chore into an exciting process. Thank you very much!"

At the start I was a bit sceptical about having lessons via Skype because I had never done it before, but now I can definitely say that it is a very efficient way to study and even better than traditional methods. I would recommend her as a teacher to everyone who may need to improve some aspects of their English. You won’t regret it!’
After writing this review Francesca found out that she had got the necessary IELTS grades to start her chosen university course in the UK.



The way she plans and prepares for each class in advance helps not to waste time during lessons and makes classes full of information and especially useful.
She helped me to identify my weak points and to work on them. We were working on improving my spoken and written English, and I feel that all the basic knowledge which I had before is better organized now.
I would also like to note the friendly atmosphere at our classes and Karine's personal approach. It is extremely beneficial to feel comfortable with a teacher.'


I can feel progress each time we have a class. I really enjoying having regular classes with Karine and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English.’

I wish you success in your future projects and creative ideas, and I wish you good health, patience and time.' <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073732485 9 0 511 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} p.font8, li.font8, div.font8 {mso-style-name:font_8; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-margin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0cm; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} span.color29 {mso-style-name:color_29; mso-style-unhide:no;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;

She helped me a lot with grammar, pronunciation, and also with my job search - she corrected my CV and we did some practice interviews. I made a lot of progress thanks to her. Obviously, it was really helpful because I managed to find a job in my field in London in only a few weeks!
And the cherry on the cake: Karine is a really nice person - she's always careful and interesting. Learning English by her side is a real pleasure!'

She is a very patient and fun teacher. Even as a person she is really kind, that’s why all the lessons were a way to get away from the world for an hour and a half.
At the end of each lesson I was asked what I wanted to learn for next lesson so that she could prepare for it. In addition, I was asked to do homework, and all the work I had done was carefully checked by the teacher. It is worth mentioning that it was really easy to arrange lesson times, and she tries to find the best option for all students even if she is busy.
Now, I have passed the IELTS test with a good grade and I am waiting to go to University and have a fresh start in England, because as a teacher she did a very good job. Of course I had to work really hard to achieve it, but in comparison with my school teachers, she is one of the best I have ever had.
Thank you, Karine!'

I decided to sign up for an intensive 1:1 course with Karine. She had a very structured approach to our classes, where we worked on each component of the IELTS exam (writing, speaking, reading and listening) and I always received clear homework to continue with self-study.
Karine was able to identify my weak spots and provide feedback in a constructive way. Moreover, she tried to go extra mile by understanding my personality, hobbies and interests and made learning English an engaging and fun experience.
As a result, I successfully got my target grades the IELTS Academic exam and was accepted to a British university.’

I found her very helpful and she encouraged me to continuously improve my English. With her help I eventually achieved my goal of writing IELTS tasks well. My speaking also improved, and I expanded my vocabulary in each lesson. Karine did an excellent job as my English improved significantly.’

I have particularly improved my writing skills. I'm now able to write well-organised essays using a high level of language.'

I told her my requirements and was surprised by how easily she agreed to such a difficult mission. I had two weeks until my exam and I needed a 7.5 overall band score with no element below 7. One month before I’d taken the IELTS test and had got 6.5 in both writing and reading, and I was struggling with these tests.
Karine helped me to increase my grades from 6.5 to 7 in both reading and writing in just 3 classes. I was also very pleased that she reviewed my homework outside our classes, and sent me materials and practice tests to do independently.
I strongly recommend Karine as she is more than just a tutor, she fights for the results with you. She is extremely clever, organised and she knows what you need to do to increase your scores.’


Karine is by far and away the best English teacher I have ever had. She is experienced and always well-prepared. She's also got a friendly and open-minded personality.
What's more, I like her voice. In my opinion, that's an important detail when you have to pay attention to someone's speech in a language class. For me, Karine is a good acquaintance who teaches me English. I highly recommend her!'

Karine is extremely competent and made the most of every minute of our classes. She is very analytical and helped me to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and taught me how to work on them.
In addition, her assistance was fundamental during my master’s application. I highly recommend Karine as an English tutor.' @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}div.WordSection1 {page:Word
In my pursuit to find a good tutor, I came across Karine's profile. I mainly needed help with my essay writing. However, she helped me brush up on all my other sections as well.
Without a doubt, the skills I learned from the two classes I took with Karine were crucial for my success in the exam. Thanks to her, I got 7.5 in Writing and 9 in all the other sections on my first attempt, which is more than what I needed.
I am eternally grateful to her for helping me avoid any more than one attempt at the exam. I want to note that even a single class will improve an individual's test-taking abilities significantly. Her charismatic personality alone is enough to give someone the extra boost for test day!’


Your teaching methods have truly transformed my understanding and usage of the English language. The interactive approach you employ in our lessons helped me become more confident in expressing my thoughts fluently and accurately. Your patience and willingness to adapt lessons to my individual needs have created a conducive learning environment that I deeply appreciate.
Moreover, under your guidance, my professional vocabulary has expanded significantly. The targeted exercises and practical examples you have incorporated into our lessons have allowed me to grasp specialised terminology and express my ideas more precisely in various work-related contexts. Thanks to this, I feel much more prepared to participate in discussions and effectively articulate my ideas.
One aspect of our lessons that I find particularly valuable is the assistance you provide in developing communication skills for handling complex situations with English-speaking colleagues. Your ideas and strategies for addressing challenging cases, such as relationship issues, conflict situations, and emotionally charged discussions, are incredibly insightful! Role-playing exercises and scenario-based discussions have equipped me with practical tools to address these issues with confidence and professionalism.
Overall, I am immensely grateful for your expertise, dedication, and personalised approach to teaching. I look forward to continuing our sessions and further improving my language and communicative skills under your guidance. Thank you once again for everything.'.'


In her teaching methodology, Karine takes into account my individual needs and desires in learning the language and as a result, my motivation to learn English has not diminished over time. The atmosphere in the lessons is friendly and relaxed. I am very happy to be able to continue my classes with Karine.’

She was always open to my needs and even when I decided to take the OET exam, she adapted quickly. She hadn't prepared anyone for the OET before, but she learned a lot about this exam in a very short period of time and I got the grades I needed on my first attempt.
When I had problems with my studies, Karine always found a solution and applied new learning methods so I didn’t get bored. And besides teaching, she is a wonderful person and I feel like I've gained a friend.
I highly recommend Karine as an English tutor.’

Initially, I struggled with speaking on topics not related to my job, but now I can comfortably maintain a conversation. She has helped me immensely! I highly recommend her.'


Despite the short timeframe, Karine managed to help me improve my writing and speaking skills. Her targeted exercises and constructive feedback helped me refine my skills and gain confidence. With Karine's assistance, I was able to get my target IELTS scores.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend Karine for her exceptional guidance and dedication to student success.'

Not only is she qualified and knows what she is doing but she is also very kind, good at explaining and flexible within her schedule.
I didn’t know what to expect because I’d never taken skype classes before, but it was a very pleasant surprise for me. The classes were interesting and full of information and practice. She helped me to understand all the parts of the writing exam, and finally made everything very clear.
Karine helped to boost my score in both writing and speaking within only 4 classes. I got an 8 overall, which was even more than I needed.
I am very grateful that Karine helped me to get into my dream university and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who struggles with getting their target score.'
