Dr. Rod’s immersion program was exactly what I was looking for. Before the 5 days, I had the knowledge but lacked the comfort to speak freely. Now, I feel a huge shift in my confidence. Dr. Rod did a brilliant job pinpointing the specific areas where I could improve my flow and accent. He is very patient and made the entire process enjoyable. I’m walking away feeling much more like a native speaker. If you want to stop overthinking and start speaking, this is the program for you!

Learning English with Rod through personal conversational sessions has been an absolute blast for my English language level. Over 100 lessons, his stress-free approach and individualized guidance have taken my language skills to the next level. During our engaging conversations, Rod creates a relaxed and friendly environment that boosts my confidence and removes any fear or hesitation when expressing myself in English. With his support, I've been able to apply my newfound vocabulary and grammar skills effectively in practical, real-life scenarios. Rod's personalized approach and patience have been instrumental in my progress and ongoing motivation. He tailors each lesson to meet my specific needs and goals, ensuring that the learning experience remains impactful and relevant. I highly recommend Rod's sessions to anyone seeking to rock their English skills while continuing to grow and thrive.

An outstanding teacher. Every class is very engaging and focused on real conversation, which helps me practice speaking naturally and with confidence. He constantly encourages me to express my ideas and improves my understanding of English in a very practical way. He also shares useful materials that help me continue learning outside the lessons. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills.

I’m having a very good experience with a one-week immersion program on italki with Dr. Rod. In just a few days, I feel more confident and more comfortable speaking English. The main focus is speaking, with very little grammar, which makes it simple and very practical. The classes are supportive and help me speak without fear. I really recommend this program if you want to improve your speaking fast.
