Student Feedback

I liked the way that it was explained and it helped me to understand things more in any book I read.

The group discussions are fun and are my favorite part about this course. I think it is a really great and fun course! I love this class.

Thank you for guiding [my son] through his first semester of English!! Overall he enjoyed the course, and definitely got much more confident in reading and writing in English…His desire to learn and progress is being revived.
