As a student of Leyi it’s been a balance of strict yet nice each lesson, whenever i get ready for english I feel quite proud of what I’ve achieved since working on english with Leyi. She’s a well organised and smart teacher who explains hard and challenging tasks to make it easier. Ever since I studied with her I have felt my knowledge for english growing.

Leyi’s kindness and excellent teaching have been an essential part of my learning journey. Thanks to her, I can use Tier 2 vocabulary such as “involuntarily” “apprehensive” and so much more. Her guidance and support have made my English so much better and I now know how to construct a proper persuasive text! I am extremely grateful for her amazing and phenomenal assistance.

Leyi’s dedication and support have been truly instrumental in my English journey. Her guidance has not only helped me excel, but has also opened doors to incredible opportunities. Thanks to her mentorship, I was able to achieve success in the ACER test, earning a place in the top 10% in writing among all who participated. I was also awarded the Sister Christopher Burrows Scholarship from Mount St Benedict College. Leyi’s expertise and encouragement have empowered me to reach new heights in English, and I am immensely grateful for her invaluable assistance.

Ever since I started with Leyi, I have improved significantly in all components of English. I value how she not only has given me tips for all my assessments but she’s also given me advice for high school in general which has helped me during the transition between primary and secondary which we all know is a big change. She’s given me a lot of confidence when it comes to my writing skills as writing would always be the section I scored the least in but after tutoring with her, it’s gone to one of my best. Her lessons are always entertaining and knowledgeable. I’m so glad that I’m one of her students and I’m excited to continue with her! Signing up with Leyi and her business is something you won’t regret!
