Learning English with Rod through personal conversational sessions has been an absolute blast for my English language level. Over 100 lessons, his stress-free approach and individualized guidance have taken my language skills to the next level.
During our engaging conversations, Rod creates a relaxed and friendly environment that boosts my confidence and removes any fear or hesitation when expressing myself in English. With his support, I've been able to apply my newfound vocabulary and grammar skills effectively in practical, real-life scenarios.
Rod's personalized approach and patience have been instrumental in my progress and ongoing motivation. He tailors each lesson to meet my specific needs and goals, ensuring that the learning experience remains impactful and relevant.
I highly recommend Rod's sessions to anyone seeking to rock their English skills while continuing to grow and thrive.

Previously Dr. Rod sent me a guide for the class, and it helped a lot. He listened to me patiently, even with my limited English. He made me feel comfortable, and we agreed on a plan. I’m excited for the next class.

I started conversation lessons with Rod to maintain and improve my English.
I requested him to engage in conversations with me, correct my mistakes when he notices them, and help me choose topics.
He has a quality that makes me feel very comfortable talking to him, so I spend most of the lesson speaking rather than listening.
Of course, he always responds by sharing his opinions, telling his experiences, or correcting my English, so I can practice both speaking and listening skills.
I'm very satisfied with the lessons. They are helping me so that the words come more easily when I need to speak.
