Lingawa- an amazing platform with outstanding tutors

Lingawa has been an amazing company to learn with. The platform is easy to use and very organised. They offer high quality tutors such as my own, Edith O.
Edith has honestly been such an incredible tutor. What really sets her apart is how much she truly cares. She is patient, kind, and incredibly understanding, and she always takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and supported. No question ever feels silly with her- she explains everything calmly and in a way that actually sticks. I couldn’t recommend her more!
