Success Stories

My English improved after working with Lem Studio. I am a more confident speaker, a better listener, I have clearer pronunciation, and I am able to communicate better both written and verbally. Doing it in a drama class surrounded by other speakers of English made it fun, engaging, and rewarding. I also got to work on my acting skills, and have successfully landed 2 acting jobs in English!
