“I'd highly recommend her classes! I had three classes with her ahead of my English interview for graduate school admission. In the first class, I prepared a script of expected questions that I had listed through Googling, but after class with Alyssa, I realized how much I had missed. She was precise and specific about what I needed to improve on. And when I actually did the interview, her advice really helped me improve my answers. Her classes are very effective, specific and practical. She is not only professional, but also thoroughly prepares lessons. It was really fortunate to meet her before my interview. And I want to say thanks to her once again.”
