ESL TeacherMy experience here helped me learn many ways to make classes more fun and engaging for students. We did many songs/games and activities to help children have fun and gain confidence in their speaking. I also learned a lot of TPR to help my students that are very beginner level and may need other ways to learn new words. I also learned the value of positive reinforcement.

We tried our first lesson with Teacher Ryan, his class was fun and my 4-year-old son likes him very much! He has interactive tools to help with his teaching so it’s effective! We’ll continue the classes.
