Alexander

“John is a really great teacher. I significantly improved my speaking skills, grammar and vocabulary in only half a year. I was very afraid of speaking with native speakers and now I use my English to make contracts. I’m grateful to John and highly recommend him as a teacher.”
Dmitry

“During our almost two-year-long learning adventure with John, I learned proper grammar, saw a significant increase in my active vocabulary, and prepared for the IELTS exam, passing it with an overall band score of 7.5. John always comes up with interesting topics to discuss and makes sure my pronunciation and idiom usage is correct. He is THE teacher you should consider if you want to study English in a positive and professional setting.”

“That was our 100th class together! John is such a hardworking teacher. He’s always finding new ways to improve his students’ English, like listening exercises, articles, grammar, and vocabulary books, which is perfect for busy students like me. When I started my classes, I couldn’t finish one sentence correctly, and now I’m capable of communicating in English and being understood. I’m grateful for meeting John!”

“John is the best teacher I’ve ever had. He is very prepared and supportive, and helps me improve my ability to speak and listen in English. He is always present when I have questions about grammar rules, phrasal verbs, or complicated phrases I’m not able to understand. Thanks John for everything, best teacher ever!”

“I would like to thank you for our lessons and conversations. I got a job last week in the data analyst industry, a really big deal for me. I had two difficult interviews in English and had to compete with very well-prepared competitors, and the company decided to hire me. Before our first lesson I wasn’t confident enough to even think I could get a job in English. Thanks to you, I believed in my possibilities. Thank you very, very, very much!”
