While politics, religion, and diplomacy are often considered sensitive topics to avoid in conversation, she is able to address them with deep knowledge and insight. I believe it is quite rare to be able to engage in such meaningful discussions in an English conversation class.
Mineco-sensei and I have been reading 吾輩は猫である which is a book I have been very interested in for years now, but could never really understand by myself.
Mineco-sensei always prepares thoroughly for each lesson. She makes slides with the words, phrases and grammar for each passage. She also researches the cultural background whenever there's a difficult part or idiom in the text, as well as prepares some sentences for me to read outloud as a practice. We always have a chat about the passage and every single lesson is a lot of fun. I really appreciate all of the work Mineco-sensei puts into lesson prep.
Howard is like a tour guide for me on my journey of learning workplace English. He helps me learn how to write different kinds of emails, such as invitation emails, gentle reminder emails, and attendance confirmation emails.
In his lessons, I not only learn English, but also learn more about business etiquette. I really appreciate Howard’s useful suggestions on email templates and learning tips.
