 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved the zoom option with kind and a funny teacher who also knew some English for when I got stuck! Francesca was timely in responses to emails and very friendly, also helping us with solutions to unusual problems that arose in our schedules and personal situation. I think the curriculum could improve since it didn’t follow the basic pattern of introducing a concept, practicing it and then being quizzed. I found it to be more difficult because it all seemed like quizzing whether I knew the concept or not. There could be improvement in taking more time to introduce, memorize, practice and THEN quiz. Otherwise loved it. Was too difficult though for my true beginner husband who couldn’t even understand the instructions and therefore automatically did everything wrong! I had to sit in on lessons to translate and coach him on what was wanted. Some English for basic level one would be very helpful especially in the instructions
