Anna -- Brazil
"I moved from Brazil to the US and my English language level was good enough for everyday life, but I needed to improve my comprehension, fluency and vocabulary. I used to have a hard time in more advanced conversations or even reading The Washington Post! I joined Nancy's class in 2021 and since then I have felt more confident in my language skills. I also learned a lot about American culture, and I have been able to understand it better, which can take a long time for a foreigner, and is essential when we are integrating into a new society. As a plus, I got to know many new and special friends from all over the world and learned about their cultures as well! Our weekly meetings feel more like an enjoyable conversation than an ordinary English language class. It's a pleasure and very gratifying to be part of it!"

MT -- Japan
"I am Japanese and started living in the US in 2021. I am an attorney, licensed in both Japan and the US, but I still had difficulty communicating and keeping up with native speakers discussing the latest news. Since attending Nancy’s class, I have dramatically improved my vocabulary and knowledge of current events in the US. This is why I have continued her class for over two years. Additionally, when I had questions about complicated punctuation or rules of grammar, she answered all my questions and enabled me to use those expressions correctly the next time.
Especially for people who have studied textbook English (like me), this class gives us sophisticated and authentic English. That will be to our tremendous advantage. I strongly recommend Nancy’s class if you are looking for something much more than a casual English class."
Nina -- Germany
"I loved Nancy's media class. It is a very lively class, full of open discussions, different opinions and -- as the students are from all over the world - - different views. As a side effect you learn new vocabulary and you are working on your fluency with ease. For me, the most important part of the class was understanding American culture and history. It helped me a lot when I arrived in the US from abroad. Because of the intensive discussions, I learned a lot about my classmates and we became friends. Nancy's class was the highlight of my week -- highly recommended. Thank you, Nancy!"
