Very useful lesson! We discussed an example of writing a summary (abstract) for a real scientific article. Jelena helped me to choose the right terms and definitions and correctly building the logical construction of the abstract. I did not expected that Jelena understands so good quite specific professional terminology. Thank you so much.

Jelena is a super professional english teacher. Even it was a trial lesson, I learned a lot and I felt the time really went so quickly. She makes the lesson very interesting and I had so much fun! I wish I could have a lesson with her everyday :)
