What Our Students Say
Inna Mikhaylova
Honestly, I really like our classes. I’m so picky and I become boring fast, but Toma is perfect 🤩. Here I am trying to get used to working all together. For me it’s a little hard to finish all the homework, some of the tasks I can't even finish, but at the same time I would  like to know how to do it correctly, even if I failed. I like that I learn new words every week and hear them often ( either  reels, or from people). It makes me so proud , happy, and at the same time makes me upset that I never knew those words… And special thanks to Toma with her attitude, kindness and her high level of language.  One of the reasons I’m still here is you.

First and foremost, I need to say a huge thank you🙏 for the atmosphere you create in our classes👍; two hours fly by🔜. I'm a big fan of the vocabulary warm-up💡 you give at the beginning of each class, as well as I have turned into an eager beaver who waits for your post-lesson notes on common mistakes⚠️. It's incredibly helpful to me🤩.
I love the way you skillfully👂 and respectfully bring students who have gotten carried away🚶‍➡️ back to the topic or to the issue at hand if the conversation has switched gears🚧.
I'm astonished🔥, to say the least, that after each lesson I always notice the words we have learned in class😊. Each glossary is well thought out; the words are cherry-picked🔎, and I'm definitely reaping the benefits of learning☀️.
At the end of the day, I do not see anything that could be improved👍; you do your job beyond all expectations💎, and the material does not require any changes✅.
You are the best and worth your salt🔥🔥🔥

Hi Toma! Actually I loved everything about our class. I find the tasks pretty helpful and amusing. I think we got along with all the girls. I am obsessed with your English level and the accent. On the top of that the homework is not boring. We started off well, I assume.

I would really want to thank the whole team of Discovery English for amazing transparency in communication, for help on each and every step of the process, and the biggest thank you for our teacher Toma. She is an amazing professional with the most warm atmosphere created for every student, and it’s really easy to went through your speaking journey here. All of her materials and tasks are structured so efficiently that every possible way of learning will be used and you will have opportunity to get the one that is more effective for you - either it would be video, audio, flashcards etc. There is plenty of material to work on independently and at the same time you will be always provided with the wide feedback for all your questions. Toma devotes time to each student and can catch on anything that you struggle with. Her help and approach is very subtle and precise, so you will always feel real support, and along with the friendly atmosphere in the group this creates a very safe space to work on your mistakes or troubled spots in learning. I had an amazing time every lesson, it is not even always feels as a lesson, but more as an interesting conversation. And you still learn a lot from seemingly easy and pleasant talk. I had only the best impressions from all the interactions with teacher and school, so would be glad to come back or recommend them to any of my friends. Thank you again for your amazingly deep and still very human approach to learning new language!
