🥹Charles is a very patient and professional teacher. His lessons have helped me become more confident and understand my weaknesses in different parts of the speaking test more clearly. The class atmosphere is relaxed, but the lessons are well-structured and practical. I’m truly grateful for his encouragement and guidance, because they have made me feel more confident and less confused during my speaking practice.🥰🥰🥳🥳

Mr. Charles is a great teacher to my child. He is a teacher who talks about children's interests together, draws pictures, and leads them to fun and interest. My son has improved his English with teacher Charles and I am very satisfied with you. Thank you, Charles. ^^

Charles is so great with kids! My daughter isn't a big fan of reading, but he managed to make a fun game out of it. She's having so much fun now. We're super lucky to have such a great teacher.
