❗❗ Book a trial—let’s map your success! ❗❗

It was my second lesson with John and I really enjoy his style of teaching and and how he gives feedback. It is noticable that he has profound experience in helping language learners and preparing them to achieve their goals. In my case, he gave me some tips and tricks to tackle some of the problems when taking the TOEFL.

John is one of the best teachers I've ever had! It was hard for me to start speaking English, but in our lessons, we had a lot of practice and questions to which I had to respond. I learned new vocabulary, and now it’s much easier for me to start conversations on various topics. Also, he helped me prepare for the IELTS, provided feedback, and shared valuable advice for my essays and speeches, which significantly improved my score. I absolutely recommend booking lessons with him. Thank you, John, for all your support!
