    English All Around

  • Chrissy is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever had. I remember her clear explanation about the difference between “someday” and “some day”. She is always happy to help students, so every time I had a question about grammar, vocabulary, and other things about English, these question were solved by her abundant knowledge. Chrissy is a very passionate English teacher. I would like to take her class again.

    English Grammar, took 25 lessons

  • Chrissy is an amazing tutor! My daughter was struggling with the advanced level of English grammar being taught at her school. Chrissy worked with her patiently, explaining the concepts in terms that she could understand, and encouraged her when she struggled or had self doubt. Chrissy is professional, timely, knowledgable, and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone as a tutor!
