I’m very grateful to Teacher Jon for his brilliant classes. My son 5,3 years old has started English lessons 5 months ago. It is his first experience to communicate with a person not speaking his mother tongue. The materials Teacher Jon provides are diverse, the tasks are always interesting. Teacher Jon has plenty of tricks to keep attention of my active boy and I really appreciate that English day by day becomes an essential part of my son's life.
