Jacob is a great teacher, he has been helping me for like a year, he is very friendly and resourceful. I feel that I have made some substantial improvement since I start to take class with him. I recommend anyone to try out having class with him.

Jacob is very encouraging, patient and very professional, he explained the difference about words used in different scenarios (some words might make people feel negative in different situation), and that's really what I need in learning English. He also gave so many samples in daily life or business life which are really helpful. What a wonderful teacher!

I did the trial class with Jacob and it was a very nice experience. I felt really confident talking, reading a making mistakes. He uses a good methodology and helps you from the first moment.
