"Iva is a superb language tutor. I needed to learn a lot of French very quickly for immigration purposes, and I worked with Iva in weekly 1-on-1 lessons for about 8–9 months (about 2 hours a week).
I needed an instructor who could provide reliable guidance, point me toward useful resources and learning methods, tailor lessons to my needs, understand and effectively address my concerns, and help push me out of my comfort zone where I needed help the most.
I placed a lot of trust in Iva under these stressful, time-sensitive circumstances. In our lessons, Iva proved time and time again that she was worthy of that trust. She was always thorough, respectful, encouraging, and honest, in both her positive and negative feedback. Her instruction was flexible, clear, and always enjoyable. Iva's lessons drew from a wide range of sources, educational and otherwise, and she created personalized course materials that were invaluable in my studies. When I was stuck and when we experienced problems, Iva was always able to find a solution with me.
Thanks to Iva, I successfully reached my goals.In less than 10 months, I went from knowing zero French to B1 proficiency.And I could not have done that without Iva's expertise. As someone who's also done a small amount of tutoring in the past, Iva's adaptability, knowledge and work ethic are nothing short of aspirational. I do not think I could have asked any more of a French tutor. I am extremely fortunate to have worked with Iva and I am happy for her future students."
“I had a great experience preparing for the TEF exam with Iva! She was incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout the process. The preparation materials were clear, well-structured, and really targeted the skills needed for the test. I felt much more confident going into the exam thanks to her guidance. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for a French language exam!”
“I am so happy to have found Iva to help me with language classes; she has a professional, structured and kind approach that makes learning feel good and progress feel steady. I have already recommended Iva to friends and family and will continue to do so, as she is truly great at what she does and I feel lucky to have a teacher like her!!”

“I took lessons with Iva to prepare for the TEF exam, and she was fantastic. She's incredibly resourceful and always shares platforms and tools that actually help, no matter your level. Her lessons are practical, clear, and easy to follow, and she makes learning French feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more confident tackling the TEF :) Thanks, Iva!”
