WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“I felt comfortable soon after the first lesson started, thanks to the warm and friendly atmosphere created by Lorraine. I feel more confident when I speak English, as her lessons have helped me expand my active vocabulary and expressions as well as improve my grammar skills. I am especially grateful that she has helped me make preparations for an English presentation. Thanks to her advice and guidance, I was able to deliver my talk with confidence. I am happy with the results of learning English with Lorraine. I will definitely recommend Intrepid English to friends or colleagues who are interested in learning English.”

“Lorraine is the best English teacher I’ve ever had. Thanks to her I’ve made big progress concerning my language skills in a very short time. Her methodical skills are excellent. She is not only a professional, English teaching is her passion! I’ve perceived her enthusiasm and extraordinary motivation from the first meeting and enjoy every lesson with her. If you learn with Lorraine, you will be not only very successful but you will love to learn each English word.”

“Though I didn’t feel shy before I started lessons with Lorraine, I felt too much pressure that I had to speak fluently. As I started lessons with her, I realised that more important things for non-native speakers are clarity and accuracy, which I believe I have improved dramatically by following her advice.

“I was excited to meet Lorraine even though my English wasn’t perfect because my former English teacher recommended her as a great teacher. I felt comfortable from the first lesson. I feel most confident in my English progress when I take one or two lessons per week. I am so happy with my results and I don’t think I would change anything about the lessons as Lorraine is the perfect teacher. I have recommended her to my friends.”

“Lorraine is an awfully nice English teacher. She is highly motivated but always chilled to teach you the language in a straight but friendly way. She speaks clearly with a British accent. If you don’t understand her once, she will illuminate or paraphrase it very well for you. You’ll love her, like we do!”
– Aisha Leuchsner
Cologne, Germany
“Lorraine was our teacher for two years. In this time she was always very motivated and well prepared for our lessons. She was always open to our proposals, we could bring our own items into the class, for example, an interesting article from a newspaper or something regarding our job. Lorraine speaks very clearly and at the right pace so it is easy to understand and follow her explanations. She notices when we need her help to find the right English word or phrase. Her lessons vary as she finds the right mixture of grammar, reading and speaking lessons and the homework doesn’t take a lot of time. I like that she doesn’t interrupt us when we talk. She notices the mistakes and corrects us after we have finished the sentence.”
