“I am SO truly grateful to you, Ursula, for your dedicated work! The result is outstanding! Vladimir starts speaking to me in English first, without any encouragement from my side! I can see how his vocabulary has grown over the time he has been under your tuition! And fluency! He makes jokes in English now! I sincerely look forward to September when my youngest daughter meets you, and is privileged to have you as her tutor! Thank you so very, very much, and hope to hear you soon! ”

“I always LOVE my lessons with Ursula. She is so patient and encouraging throughout, particularly in the tricky parts of the lessons. The lessons are formulated in a way that encourages reconsolidation from previous lessons with further concepts taught in an approachable format. Ursula develops lessons that are personalised to my needs and learning wishes. I have learnt so much throughout our lessons and can truly apportion this to the way that Ursula teaches. Dankie vrou Ursula. Jy is wonderlik! ”
