Irina Published on Google 1 week ago

Fantastic experience: I would like to leave a sincere review about my English teacher. The lessons are easy, interesting, and stress-free, but at the same time very effective. The material is explained clearly and in a simple way, so even difficult topics become easy to understand. I always feel support and attention to my level and goals — there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach, everything is personalized. What I especially like is the amount of speaking practice. I have become much more confident in speaking English and I’m no longer afraid of making mistakes. My teacher is very motivating and truly inspires me to keep learning. I can clearly see my progress.

Claudia Montes Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The English language has been the weakest part of my learning process. I've used teaching methods and techniques that weren't very effective until I had the experience of our teacher Rory, who encouraged me and, with his methodology, taught me the necessary foundations to begin a path to English: conversation techniques, dynamic classes, audios, and very useful teaching materials. Thank you, teacher Rory

English for Work

It's my pleasure Claudia! Thank you for the review and also all the enthusiasm and motivation to learn that you brought to class every day!

Yorleny Araya Published on Google 1 year ago

English for Work

Thank you Andrey! I too found classes with you very enjoyable and interesting! I also learnt a lot, not least about the books that you were reading and had read!

Yulia Shwarts Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took two writing classes with Rory, and it was just perfect. It's not every day you meet teachers who are fun to learn from. He teaches exceptionally well and is always ready to help and explain if something is unclear. So anyone who wants to learn English with a super talented teacher should contact Rory

English for Work

Thank you for the kind words! Really appreciate it. Those writing courses showed you are a great writer, the work you did on them was great!

Mariam Gibson Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Haber tenido la oportunidad de estudiar Inglés con el profesor Rory fue una de las bendiciones más grandes que pude tener. Desde la primera clase (que no sabía que sería completamente en Inglés) fue claro y preciso y se hacía entender con facilidad. Es muy amable, confiable y paciente, fueron tres meses en los que aprendí muchísimo y cada clase era más valiosa que la anterior, ojalá nos reencontremos en otra clase pronto! - Having had the opportunity to study English with Professor Rory was one of the greatest blessings I could had. From the first class (I didn't know would be completely in English) it was clear and precise and made itself understood easily. He is very kind, reliable and patient, it was three months that I learned a lot and each class was more valuable than the previous one, I hope we meet again in another term soon!

English for Work

So glad to hear this Mariam! You adapted so quickly to learning 100% in English, it was awesome to see. It was so good to work with someone like you who is enthusiastic, smart and likes a challenge! Great work

Fantastic experience: I have taken two classes with you and they have been the best I have taken in all this time that I have been studying English. I have to say that your classes are very entertaining and with a variety of fun activities that make learning English not boring.

Thank you for giving your best in each class and helping so many people like me to learn English. Thank you for teaching me.

Wow Dianis it was my pleasure! You did a fantastic job. I often used your classwork work as a model for others to follow! I must say it was very, very cool to hear you had started working in engineering here. You should be very proud of yourself!
