Hello! Today we've done many things, like talking about Japan's snow. But we also did more stuff, like: talking about NYC's Ball drop in Time square, or Dubai's incredible celebration for New Year's! We also saw that Hawaii has a delay of 5 hours when it comes to celebrating New Year's in the USA. We also talked about Spain's cookies, traditions, Christmas lottery and nativity scenes. And for last but not least, we did some chess!
Fun Class!
Bye!

Ray is a kind and patient teacher. I love that he also spends time sending us the following days a recap of some of the words my kids are having a hard time pronouncing. Thanks a lot!

Hello! Today we talked about the amazing match about Sinner and Alcaraz, in tennis. After that, we did a fun quiz talking about general knowledge for a high school student. It was fun and simple.

My child has thoroughly enjoyed classes with Teacher Ray and has made remarkable progress in English. Ray's innovative question-and-answer approach, based on the text, encourages active thinking and fosters an excellent reading habit in young learners. This method has significantly improved my child's interactive dialogue skills. Ray’s professionalism, kindness, and generosity as a teacher truly stand out, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding English tutor for their child.
