Hey, English learners! (friends)😂
Teacher Smith here. Learning English with AI is easy, but having real, natural conversations? That’s the tough part—not just with AI, but even in traditional lessons. That's where I come in. We’ll engage in genuine conversations that make learning English feel natural and fun.📚

Smith, thank you very much for the yesterdays lesson. I enjoyed every minute of the lesson. I especially liked as you did some recommendations for my speaking sentences while we were casually talking about the lesson itself or several other topics. It's pretty nice how the kind of lesson style is changing into the way I prefer to study. I'm looking forward to move on with you in the upcoming lessons.

I'm an adult who learned she has a big gap in the knowledge of tenses. I just used them based on a feeling my whole life as I never academically learned English. So when I realized I wanted to fill this gap with theory, Teacher Smith was just amazing in preparing a customized course of simplified tenses for me, so I could naturally learn them not being overwhelmed with the information I missed for so a long time. Again and again, thank you, dear Smith, I'm enjoying our tenses journey so much, even though sometimes it takes my last energy :-)
