Declan is a very good teacher, he changes the methods when is necessary (he notices it), he does a good balance between grammar classes and conversation classes, that’s why I’ve been doing English class with him for 4 months and I maintain it every week.

I have tried different teachers on Italki. I can tell Declan is one of the best teachers by far. He always brings great materials to the class, helps me to speak as much as possible, and corrects the mistakes right away. I highly recommend his classes.
