Kaimo Jiao

Learner

The teacher is exceptional and did not (only) teach us specific knowledge, she taught us how to fish. This kind of style of teaching reformed my previous way of learning English.

Jino George

LEARNER

The course was very useful. The teacher's attitude and inspiration motivated me to learn English. I decided to work hard to improve my language, which is a barrier in the communication. I learnt the importance of stress, intonation and language functions which helped me to improve my pronunciation. I would like to join in her class anytime if I get a chance.😊

Now I have local topics I can talk with others, and I like reading the local news. I feel like I am part of it.

Before I can't speak English, and now I can speak a little bit, because my teacher is a very nice teacher and she understands me for everything.
