"Dear Louise, My meeting at the United Nations was successful. I thank you so much with my speech. Your help was amazing. Without your help I couldn't reach my goal."

"I spent a full month with Louise this summer. I was looking to improve my writing and my confidence in English. After a couple of lessons she pointed out my different lacuna and notions I should improve. Her linguist background and the fact she speaks several languages gave her the abilities to find the most appropriate way for me to learn, understand and improve my English.

Louise gave me every day specific grammar exercises and articles to comment and summarize for the next lesson. She taught me how to write articles and gave me many helpful tips about the American style of writing. Her method, her advice and her kindness made me definitely more confident and efficient. I'm looking forward to see her during my next trip in November. For me, Louise is the best."

"After some unfortunate experiences in American language schools, I looked for an American English teacher who spoke a bit of French, having the option to translate. For the most part, I needed somebody with whom I could exchange about Art and Culture.

It is wonderful taking English lessons with Louise. At the same time I am improving my English, Louise helps me to build my thoughts in the English way. We can speak about my own life and projects. She adapts, so well, her way of teaching.

Because Louise is a real cultivated American, we can discover through her an America wealthy in culture and history; because she is a real New Yorker, we can learn about the history and daily life of the city"

"I would strongly recommend working with Louise, not only for the extreme quality of her work, but also for her qualities as a person. For the last three years, Louise has been editing my weekly and quarterly client research publications. Her input has been key in increasing the visibility of my team's research to the market. Thanks to her work, my team's market reports have been enhanced into attractive and professional marketing tools for our business."

"In the last two years, Louise has been providing invaluable help to me in editing sensitive business reports, important presentations, and other significant documents. We always work together -- I explain what I want to say and then she says it in her words, better than I could ever write it. Not only is Louise friendly and arriving always on time, she is an excellent business editor. I strongly recommend her."

"Louise was an excellent English tutor for me while I was on my 6-month international assignment. I wanted to focus on conversation so we read lots of articles and discussed them. We talked about business (banking, crisis, stock market, etc) and many other subjects that were quite challenging for me to have in English! I appreciated our intensive English classes very much. They helped me a lot not only to get along with my American friends but also in my graduate level finance class, with both the final paper and the presentation."

"Louise has been working with our French analyst for more than a year and has greatly improved the quality of writing across all publications, more specifically that of his weekly analyses and industry quarterly reviews. She is an outstanding and well-rounded professional who has demonstrated a sound grasp of a complex industry. The service Louise has provided to our analyst has strengthened his work and helped him succeed."

"I am happy to recommend Louise Egan to all who want to improve their English. I was in New York for two months and was happy to have Louise as my teacher, for 4 days a week and from 3 til 7 hours each day. It was an intense schedule but Louise made it fun. I enjoyed many interesting conversations with Louise and feel more comfortable now with English - to speak, listen, and understand.

Louise came well prepared with articles that helped me learn about American culture, current news, writing styles, humor, and New York. She gave me just the amount of grammar to make me understand my usual speaking mistakes, and I plan to continue to study my verbs and tenses when I go back home - and I never thought I could say that about grammar!

For business writing, Louise was an excellent editor for reviewing a PowerPoint presentation. Thanks to her efforts, everything came out clear and she understood exactly what I wanted to say but I had not known how I could express it.

It has been a pleasure to work and study with Louise and I hope others can have as good experience as I had."

"During our two-year stay in New York, Louise was our personal English tutor for my husband, my two children and for myself. All of us spent a great time with her. My husband was focused on the Business English, the kids loved her English stories, books, songs and cultural narratives and I was taught English for a daily use.

We were impressed by Louise's bright general knowledge, especially the knowledge for politics, American culture, and international economy. We all were fascinated by her kindness and her patience. We were taught in grammar, conversation, writing, idioms, American songs & culture, books and more. We also made some culture excursions and sightseeing tours together with her. She was flexible and she had an open ear for our wishes. She always appeared well-prepared and on time. We were happy that Louise was our teacher and we can recommend her without any doubts."

"When my husband's company (UBS) relocated us to New York, they let me take English lessons. For more than one year I really enjoyed Louise's classes and friendship. Despite my continuous misspeaking! (if I can say so) I find today myself much more confident in English than on our first meeting and this is due to Louise's way of teaching which offered a lot of points of interest and subjects of conversation. I learned also a lot about New York City and the US".

"Louise helped me improve my business writing skills and increase my speech confidence.  As a native Spanish speaker, I found Louise's multilingual skills were extremely helpful to make me aware of the English language unique features."
