Perfect! We had a wonderful experience working with Evita for my daughter’s poetry recital coaching session. She created an immediate connection and made the session both engaging and comfortable. She guided my daughter through the meaning, structure, and emotional shifts of the poem, teaching her how to bring it to life with vocal expression, pacing, and tone.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the session, especially the fun games and interactive exercises Evita incorporated, which made the learning process playful and engaging.

By the end of the session, my daughter’s recitation was noticeably more expressive, polished, and dynamic. Evita strikes a rare balance between technical precision, including enunciation, projection, and rhythm, and artistic interpretation. She is patient, encouraging, and deeply knowledgeable, and my daughter genuinely enjoyed every minute. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their poetry reading, speaking, and performance skills.

Perfect! This week, I asked Evita to discuss different poets' work with me and review poetry theory. She prepared a very helpful lesson and gave me many examples to understand the concepts better. She is always enthusiastic during class and challenges me to think about poetry in ways that are different from what I'm used to. She is a great teacher and overall fun person to discuss poetry with!!

Perfect! proficient, attentive, kind and highly intelligent. Would recommend

Perfect! Very clear lesson plan. Just what I wanted from this. She’s super encouraging, upbeat and friendly
