Mr Hoolihan is a very funny, friendly, patient, well-prepared and amazing teacher. My kids super love him and they are very excited each time when they know they will have a lesson with Mr Hoolihan.
I am very appreciated his patient with my kids. Mr Hoolihan is very good at motivating my kids, he will lead my kids to ask questions and to think more. Mr Hoolihan is a very good leader.
When my kids have questions or don’t understand the English meaning, Mr Hoolihan will explain very well and make sure my kids understand.
Mr Hoolihan is a very funny teacher as well as a kind person. He always shares what has happened in his daily life or stories to my kids.
My kids learned a lot from Mr Hoolihan because his teaching materials during the lesson are very good. Sometimes he has prepared games, scores competitions and also teach them the famous artists or famous people. Mr Hoolihan is a human encyclopedia. My kids enjoyed and had a lot of fun each lesson. Thank you very much!
