I started with silvia 6 years ago with English classes, and she has definitely been the best teacher I ever had. In fact I have gained so much confidence in my english that I started doing coaching sessions with her in English when she started offering them. My experience with both these classes was really fantastic, I have seen really great results.

I LOVE Silvia as a coach. She's clearly doing this out of real passion and care for other people, which is really special to find. She has helped me find a much better way of understanding some past events that were really affecting me, I have a much greater sense of peace in everyday life and she has helped me make so much progress with my goals – as a solopreneur, she gives excellent advice for starting a business too, which I've finally done this year! I'm so happy I found her.

Silvia is very experienced and a skilled English teacher. We discuss lots of different topics in her classes, so we can practice a wide range of vocabularies, phrasal verbs, expressions and idioms. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to advance to the next level in English.

Silvia is very nice, pleasant, and patient, she’s always prepared with a great lesson and helps me learn. I really recommend her!

I’ve been taking English lessons with Silvia for a few months now, and I’m already seeing great progress. She’s very kind, positive, and she makes a very pleasant atmosphere. She proposes lots of different activities to make me learn fun and efficient. As I’ve told her, it’s a pleasure to take lessons with her!

Silvia has an excellent teaching style, she takes the time to explain everything I’m not sure about and she has an amazing system for share her class materials. It makes studying very easy and fun. I’m so glad I found her!

I really wish I had found Silvia earlier! I would have advanced in English so much faster and easier. For a long time I was studying, on my own or with other teachers, but I was always frustrated because I couldn’t actually communicate or to make proper sentences. Thanks to Silvia’s classes, I’ve reached a solid B2 level and now I’m working to the C1 level! I never dreamed I would be able to progress like this. Her lessons are varied, dynamic and interactive, so they are both fun and really effective. Also, Silvia is super patient and she can perfectly adapt the lessons to my goals and interests. I highly recommend her!

Silvia is one of the very best teachers out there. She is always prepared for our lessons with material adapted to my level and goals, and her lessons are both interesting and effective. She focuses on real life communication, not just doing exercises, so there is a lot of interaction. By the end of the lesson, I feel like I’ve really learned the material well, and Silvia also gives me exercises so I can review in my free time. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to learn English in order to really use it and communicate with confidence!

Truly an excellent teacher! I have never been happier than with my lessons with Silvia! She not only gives great service, but she’s also a very kind person with a huge heart. She always encourages you in every way you could need. I’ve definitely found the best teacher! I’m always excited for my next lesson with Silvia. She’s the teacher you need in your life to achieve just about anything you have planned!

It’s clear that languages and teaching is Silvia’s passion! I started taking lessons with her to take the IELTS test two years ago, but her dedication and amazing teaching style convinced me to keep taking lessons even after I passed the exam. Silvia has helped me make noticeable improvements in my vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and overall confidence. What I appreciate most about her is her constant positive attitude, creativity in planning lessons especially for me, and attentiveness to my needs. I think it’s very rare to find a teacher who does all this for her students! I consider myself very lucky to have found Silvia. Thank you!

I have taken classes with Silvia for six months. She is a fantastic teacher! I wanted to focus on accent reduction, and Silvia adapted the sessions to my needs perfectly. Her classes are very well prepared and structured, and at the same time they are really fun.

I have been taking English lessons with Silvia since the end of 2018. A friend of mine recommended Silvia, and I am pleased to study with her. She is highly competent and attentively corrects my mistakes. In addition, she is flexible enough to adjust the content of our lessons according to my current needs.

Initially, the main idea was to refresh my English, which was completely lost since I moved from the UK back to my home country in 2006. A second aim was to get ahead with my spoken English, properly communicate with others and make myself understandable in my new life experience, by this time, in Canada.

Silvia helped me enormously, promptly identified the significant issues and addressed them straight away. It was impressive how fast I was able to interact with my neighbours and my son's friend's parents, answer a phone call, attend a workshop, and so on.

In the second phase of our lessons, beginning in April 2021, we focused on the IELTS exam. We spent the majority of time developing my speaking and writing skills, which I believe are my most evident weaknesses. In addition, last month, I decided to take the CELPIP exam before the IELTS. Because of this, I asked Silvia to practice more daily conversations and correct my written emails, as these are required for CELPIP.

Silvia, again, was very flexible in adjusting the tone of our lessons, which I really appreciate. Having studied the CELPIP structure and practiced writing and speaking skills with Silvia for two months, I feel I am ready to take the exam.

I am confident that I will get a good score, and I am happy to have Silvia with me on this journey.

Thank you, Silvia!

I was SO lucky to find Silvia as my teacher. I’ve had many teachers in the past, and by far NONE of them showed the level of dedication and passion towards her students like Silvia does. It’s clear that she spends hours making her lesson materials, learning about different methods and exercises, and she chooses the best ones especially for you. She pays careful attention to your goals and preferences and builds the lessons to match those things perfectly. I’ve been taking lessons from her for 4 years now, and I couldn’t possibly be happier! I think having Silvia as your teacher would be a blessing for any English learner.

I met Silvia six years ago when we both attended University of Ottawa. In the time that I have known her she has accomplished a great deal in terms of both academic and extracurricular achievements. I was always impressed by her ability to balance the responsibility of being a full time student, while also working to support herself. In addition to school and work, Silvia also participated in extracurricular activities, such as the UOttawa Kin Club (which she helped found) and studying as a pianist. She has managed to achieve all of this and more due to a combination her incredible work ethic and positive attitude. Recently I had the opportunity to witness some of her lessons when she came to visit me a few weeks ago, she is a very patient teacher who puts in a great deal of effort to personalize each students learning experience to meet their specific needs and goals, she is also very punctual and well organized. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is interested in improving their language skills.

Silvana has shown time and time again to be resourceful and fully dedicated to her students. She is constantly trying to find a way to make things better for her students.

Teacher Silvia is very talented in what she does. I have known her for over a year, and I am impressed with her language abilities, and importantly, her ever-growing broad heart. I am amazed by her enthusiasm for her teachings. I learn from her daily, as she diligently prepares for each of her students’ individual class lesson; I can see her passion and dedication each time. I value that her class offers the students a comfortable format to learn professional and communicative English. It is an important factor for language learners, and she makes sure to value it as well. Silvia teaches her students as if their journey is also her journey; hand-in-hand, she makes the students’ goals her priority, and stays honest about the progress. She spends her hours outside of class to prepare the optimal exercise and activity for each of her students. Lastly, Silvia knows numerous languages fluently, and with that being said, I am confident that a language-learner knows how to learn a language.

I have worked under Silvia and with her on a number of projects. She is a dedicated and resourceful woman who can demonstrate great patience and has wonderful listening and communication skills.

She has participated in a number of community projects and demonstrates great communication by listening to others. She is an excellent multi-tasker, and overall highly capable person who I feel I can count on. Her charisma and dedicated work ethic are positively infectious to other group members.

I would ardently recommend her for her enviable range of communication skills and potential, her inspiring curiosity and strong work ethic, and her positive attitude and dependability. She is without a doubt an asset to any organization.
