I want my lessons to be as interactive as possible. Having experience teaching multiple nationalities, my main message in class is the following: it's only natural that you will make mistakes, we all do! That's how we learn!

Matthew is a really good teacher. I’ve been improving my English skills and most important my confidence to speak in English. I feel very comfortable and empowered to speak and learn it.

In this lesson, Mathew and I talked about English accents from many different aspects which I found was very interesting. I think Matthew is very knowledgeable in terms of linguistics and I can learn a lot from him during the conversations. I look forward to having more talk or debate with him.

Another wonderful lesson with Matthew. He is well prepared and I enjoyed the small activity we've had in class. Surely will have more lessons with him.
