Phillip is truly remarkable as a teacher. When I first took his lessons, I didn’t realize I would fall in love with reading and truly understand how to read. I’m so glad I embarked on this journey with him.
From short essays to mid-length novels, and now, we’ve just finished a Shakespeare play… it’s been a long journey for me, with many obstacles in reading and comprehension—each one of them has transformed me.
I’ve learned to read more deeply, both inside and outside the text (author background, historical context, etc.), to think in different ways from different perspectives, and to interpret characters' words and tones, among other things. It’s not just because I started reading, but also because Phillip kept discussing the topics and related things with me, guiding me on techniques and what to focus on, etc.
It’s always a pleasure to exchange thoughts on the works, and his humorous personality is definitely a plus. With Phillip, I can express everything I want to say and take notes without feeling judged.
It’s relaxing, fun, and inspiring… With Phillip’s reading lessons, you get it all!
I enjoy taking Suja's lessons very much. What I like most about her is that she widens my perspective and knowledge with questions and new phrases. She also gives useful advise to progress my speaking skills.
Eri san's conversational classes are fantastic! I've lost count of how many teachers I have spoken with on various platforms, but this one was the by far the best for my learning needs. Able to converse well, patient with giving the students time to respond, and always excellent customised downloadable feedback that was never just an overwhelming list of words and phrases. Some teachers just have a great intuition and are able to adapt to the language level, and push gently into the areas that need to be improved.
I miss these lessons very much now due to our time zone difference.
I wanted to tick 3 out of the 4 boxes, but I'm sure she would be great with kids too :)
