My daughter really enjoyed the lesson with John. John is very passionate, trying to make it interesting and exciting every time. My kid is starting to make a progress with every lesson. We will definitely continue our lessons with John.

Extremely disappointing. After seeing so many positive reviews, my experience was hard to believe. The teacher showed a clear lack of patience and professionalism, especially when I struggled with ONE WORD, as probably if he assumed my English should already be perfect. His sarcasm and visible frustration made the situation uncomfortable and discouraging.

非常に熱心でフレンドリーな先生です。文学・アート・国際情勢に精通していて、さまざまな文学・ニュースから題材を選んでくれます。英語以外にも、彼の見識から学ぶことが多いです。 また、アメリカ西海岸のネイティブですので、アメリカ英語を学びたい人には特に良い先生だと思います!

我最近在跟John老师上英语课,体验真的很好。他会让我在课上大声朗读文章,一边读一边帮我纠正发音、并教我相关词汇和表达。他擅长用比喻的修辞来解释事物,让课堂变得很有趣。John特别有耐心,也很会鼓励人,哪怕卡壳了也会一直引导,不会让人有压力。课后还会给我分享很多学习资料,能看出来他是真的很认真、也很负责。如果你是那种想踏踏实实提升口语、又需要一点信心和正反馈的,很推荐试试他的课。😊👍 I’ve recently been taking English lessons with John, and the experience has been genuinely great. He encourages me to read articles aloud in class and corrects my pronunciation as I go, while also teaching relevant vocabulary and expressions. He’s especially good at using metaphors to explain things, which makes the lessons engaging and fun. John is very patient and incredibly encouraging— even when I get stuck, he guides me through it without creating any pressure. After class, he also shares a lot of helpful learning materials, and you can really tell he’s serious and responsible about teaching. If you’re someone who wants to steadily improve your spoken English and could use a confidence boost and positive feedback, I’d highly recommend giving his classes a try. 👍👍👍
