Reviews from others
Carissa was an excellent teacher during these months of classes. She was always available and helpful in answering my questions and helping me improve my English. These six months were essential for my development in the language, and every cent and minute spent on this course was worth it. I would definitely recommend the teacher and the platform to my friends.

Carissa always comes with a smile! She is enthusiastic and LOVES her language. She loves to share its nuances and her favorite parts. I am so thankful for her. She also has a heart to know each of her students, which I so appreciate!!!
— Megan
She is very patient in explaining concepts to me. She doesn't judge me on things I don't know. And I have loved each lesson with her. She makes me feel accomplished and she provides me with support where I need it the most.
— Jenna
Carissa has made it comfortable for me to grow in the language and has sparked my encouragement in moving to another language once I have grown in the fluent tongue of Afrikaans. I couldn't have picked a greater tutor for this journey I have embarked on. I am also grateful for the feedback and yes I know exactly what Mevrou is referring to regarding the ie, ou and ei sounds, I shall continue practicing daily for better results. Baie Dankie Mevrou !
— Ayanda
Carissa has been very helpful in all sessions, she is patient and the best tutor for a beginner like me.
