What clients say:

From Gerda P., Switzerland:

"My husband, two children, and I were impressed with Louise's bright, general knowledge, especially in politics and American culture. We also appreciated her kindness and patience. For more than a year, she taught us grammar, conversation, writing, idiomatic expressions, American songs and history. We also made some cultural excursions with her. She was so nice, and always well prepared and on time. We were happy to have Louise as our teacher and we highly recommend her."

From Ryohei U., Kumiai Chemical, Japan:

"I am Japanese and I was working in New York for a Japanese chemical company. For almost a year Louise Egan helped me correspond with my American clients. I appreciate so much her talent, patience, and good humor."

From Peter Stordalen, CEO, Home Invest Group, Norway:

"I am happy to recommend Louise Egan to everyone who wants to improve their English. I was in New York for two months and was lucky to have Louise as my teacher, for 4 days a week and up to 7 hours a day. (And she once helped me edit a big presentation.) It was an intense program but Louise made it fun. She always came prepared with articles from newspapers and magazines that helped me learn about American culture, the news, writing styles, humor, and New York itself. She also taught me just enough grammar to help me understand my many mistakes. It was a pleasure to study with Louise and I hope others can have as good an experience as I had."

From Michèle Lequarré, Belgium:

"When my husband's company transferred us to New York, they let me take English lessons with Louise while we were there. Today, I find myself much more confident in speaking English. Louise always had lots of interesting topics of conversation. I also learned a lot of things about New York and the United States. Those classes are a wonderful memory of my time in New York."
