Learning a new language can be difficult, especially later in life. I knew Martina was the right fit for my learning needs from the first session we had. She is very patient and her teaching style definitely makes learning and understanding a lot easier. She is reassuring but also challenges me. I would definitely recommend using her if you are looking to learn a new language. I look forward to continuing my lessons and becoming more fluent in Slovak.

Martina is an excellent Slovak tutor. She takes a lot of care to craft individual lessons and focus on the most important elements of the language for my particular level. My lessons with her have the right level of difficulty, as I am challenged but she is also patient at the difficult sections. I am confident I can continue to make a lot of progress learning Slovak with her.
