In-depth knowlegde and very helpful

I wasn't getting adequate score in speaking section in TOEFL. So I approached Priyamvada mam for help. She was very helpful and had indepth knowledge about each segments. Moreover she understands your weakness and helps you to work on it. She will check the homework and give her feedback. She is also very approachable and will always respond to your doubts and questions. After taking five classes with her, I was able to achieve my score (speaking section 26/30). I am very grateful to her for helping my achieve my score.
