Have a look at successful and satisfied students
Classes with teacher Vanja exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a job and with her classes, in less than 1 month of classes I managed to fill in my biggest gaps and soon I was hired by a company. At Speak up each class was planned according to my needs with an interesting content, I never get bored with the classes there. I definitely recommend their work.
I live in Malta and I decided to start English lessons about 4 months ago. Since I started I have noticed how I have improved little by little in my daily conversations. Classes at SpeakUp are entertaining, they are adapted to each student in particular. I have conversations about broad topics while I´m learning vocabulary and grammar. 100% rocommended.
I’m from Madrid, Spain and I’m living in Haarlem. My partner and I have been taking English lessons with Vanja since we arrived in Haarlem. We have different English levels and both of us have improved our speaking skills quickly, which was our main goal but not the only one. We have been practising grammar, listening, writing and improving reading skills. Her classes are totally planned and personalized and she uses all kinds of methods from traditional books to Ted talk activities. The lessons are very dynamic and she always encourages you to feel more confident and talk English naturally.
