I struck gold with this English teacher over the past six months! His classes are always dynamic, effective, and never late.
He transformed my English skills, especially in pronunciation, speaking, and grammar. The improvement was dramatic, all thanks to his exceptional teaching approach.
What's more, his lessons played a big role in me securing an IT job in Canada. I couldn't have done it without the English proficiency I gained from him.
Plus, he's always on time - no minute wasted! If you're looking for a dependable, top-tier English teacher, he's your best bet. He made learning fun, rewarding, and punctual, and I'm sure he'll do the same for you.

Before I started lessons with Ryan I wasn't confident in my English at all. Our lessons perfectly align with my goal. We practised my pronunciation and feeling of how English sounds. I recommend Ryan to those who want to prepare for job interviews, practice business English and be able to be more formal or polite. Also, general English is an option, to whom it needs. Ryan will make you speak like a god in no time, your shyness will go away right after your first lesson with him.

Ryan is a great coach!
I am a product manager and my goal is to feel more confident speaking English at work.
All classes are interactive and carefully planned.
I highly recommend classes with Ryan to anyone who wants to improve not only English, but also communication skills in general.
