"I have my 10th lesson overall this week, which marks the end of the 10 lessons I initially bought. My tutor is amazing! So thankful you connected us! I'm learning so much :) The lesson was fantastic! Her notes are very logical and already had the grammar structure that I was looking for. And it sounded like her other student has similar goals as me, so that works nicely. Thank you so much for figuring out to pair us, I am very excited to get back on track and continue with her! It's clear that Vale is very professional & supportive, and I know those qualities will give it a long life and successful reputation!"

""Vale has been amazing at connecting me with tutors who truly work with my needs! They've been incredibly thoughtful about matching me with the right instructors, even working around different time zones to find tutors who are the perfect fit for my requirements. What I have liked the most is how flexible they've been as my learning needs have evolved. I've worked with several different tutors through Vale, and each one has been adaptable and creative in their approach. My tutors haven't stuck to textbook learning; they make lessons engaging by talking about my daily life, discussing music and media, and using real-world situations to help contextualize the language. This makes learning Kashmiri enjoyable.""

"Point form proper feedback on my experience with Vale so far: The founder has heard me out and sorted scheduling booking payment without any issues, the course has taken time to connect me to a personalized tutor!! Wow you wouldn't believe how much having my tutor in my life has improved it??! I am speaking fluently, with proper grammar and able to read Kashmiri now. My parents and relatives are sort of shocked that I am able to express myself in Kashmiri!! In fact I am teaching them now. Professionalism: I have felt taken care of, as a student, with Vale. I was not born in the west: I am blood of Kashmir. I
I was not born in the west: I am blood of Kashmir. I know what and who I really am: you have given me an opportunity to learn from a really good tutor + connected me back to my lost roots. Actually I went to a Kashmiri event tonight and I was the only one my age who could speak Kashmiri. 100% not possible without Vale."
