March 12, 2019I have prepared job interviews with Odiva. She has helped improve not only my English but also my interview answers based on her extensive teaching and work experience. Indeed, she has spent time before/after lessons to make the lessons helpful and constructive for me. She has properly adjusted the lesson load according to my busyness so that I can continue. Also, she has tried to make the atmosphere fun and enjoyable. I really appreciate her efforts. I highly recommend Odiva as your English teacher.

June 26, 2020I am preparing for TOEFL iBT, but my speaking skill is not good at all. I have taken more than 10 lessons with Ms. Odiva until now, and I find it interesting to study with her. Ms. Odiva not only gave me various kinds of practice to improve my vocabulary, pronunciation, and quick response but also created a fun atmosphere during the session. I will continue with her lessons.

October 07, 2019What a great decision I made choosing Odiva as my teacher and consultant! I had a very important job interview, and with just two classes, she not only helped me with my English and pronunciation, but improved my confidence, gave me an amount of tips to project my voice, my posture, and my fast thinking. She's awesome!
