Transitioning to life in Canada presented its unique set of challenges, particularly in mastering daily life English and understanding the cultural nuances.

Mrs. De Wit was an invaluable guide through this journey. Her approach to teaching daily life English wasn't just about the language; it was a deep dive into the cultural aspects that make conversations meaningful here. She adeptly taught me to engage in conversations beyond the simple 'yes' or 'no'—a skill vital in a society that values connectivity and dialogue.

What truly sets Mrs. De Wit apart is her professionalism, flexibility, and remarkable ability to adapt lessons to the individual's needs. She has a keen insight into personalizing content, evidenced by a lesson that stood out for me on conversing about dogs. This topic transformed my daily walks in the neighborhood, enabling engaging interactions with neighbors and fostering a sense of community. Moreover, Mrs. De Wit was instrumental in helping me 'cross bridges' when dealing with clients. Her focused training improved my English communication skills significantly, paying particular attention to enunciation and pronunciation. This was especially helpful with the common terminology used in my field, enhancing my confidence and professionalism in client interactions. She tailored the lessons to fit my needs, providing focused handover sheets and materials that were not just educational but immensely practical. Her attention to individual needs ensured that each session was impactful. For prospective students, I can't emphasize enough the importance of having clear objectives. Know what you want to navigate and learn. With Mrs. De Wit's expertise, your tailored journey will be enriching. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their grasp of English, cultural fluency, and conversational skills. Prepare your goals, and she will pave the way to achieving them. Thank you, Barb!

I have known Barbara for about 8 months. I guess, she is extraordinarily talented at connecting with her students and educating them in a creative and engaging fashion. Ms. De Wit incorporated the use of technology to the best effect during her lessons. She has been motivating me to speak fluently all this time as well as learn English grammar etc. I have been improving my English skills with Barbara with great pleasure and thanks.

I've been tutored by Barb for several months for English, and I found each session well-prepared, enjoyable, and personalized. I can feel that Barb truly cares for her students and goes above and beyond to help them with their English. I would strongly recommend her for anyone wanting to improve their English!

No matter how much I talk about Barb, I will not fulfill her right. She is a truly amazing teacher in every sense of the word. She was offering a free English course, and I joined her online classes, which I learned a lot from! The method of delivering information is successful and modern. She prepares the appropriate materials for the lesson and exercises related to the lesson. She always has an answer to my questions. Thank you for your time and effort, Barb, I highly recommend her to anyone looking to advance in English.
Thanks,
Sarah
