If you are starting to learn English, or you are studying it a long time but haven't felt confident, maybe you shy, but you NEED IT, you should meet with Dara K. Fulton. She was so kind and friendly, she was very supported by me, that I started to speak quickly and without big stress. She is passionate about her job and maybe you will become best friends if you will be friendly too. I truly recommend getting acquainted with her. She is awesome.

My opinion she is best teacher. She knows what she is doing. She was not only teaching English. At the same time you are learning so many experience from her. Such as American culture, talking tips (native, non native etc.). Important thing she is so kind and open mind. Thank you so much DARA TEACHER.

Dara was my teacher from January to May 2018. She’s not only a very good teacher, professional and responsible but is also a good person, friendly and lovely with a big heart. Always respectful with everyone. Her moto was: Try your best! Learning English is a long and non easy process but always you try your best. Thank you Dara.
- Erinda, Italy
It was a very good experience with one of the best teachers I have had. She has a lot of information to teach, a friendly teacher with a good heart. She gave a high quality of teaching and using a creative and new ways. If I had a chance to choose my teacher I will choose Dara, and I advice everyone who want to learn English join Dara's classes.
