With an ability to make learning enjoyable, I inject energy and enthusiasm into every lesson. As an adept teacher skilled at tailoring materials to students' distinctive needs, I captivate even the littlest learners through books, games, videos, and more. My inventive and engaging approach guarantees students of all ages retain information and walk away grinning. When learning is personalized and fun, students flourish. I am a cheerful teacher with over four years of experience who revels in making all my students smile, relish the cultural exchange, and learn a few words of my student's native language.

Thanks Ray for your enthusiastic lessons. My son had another 45 minutes fun answering multiple choice questions about animals and doing a quizz about general knowledge. The themes are exactly fitting his interests, therefore he knows a lot of the answers and doesn't care that he has to do it in English. Really amazing!

Hello! We talked about basketball (i switched teams to the Miami team), we also talked about the ancient humans (the people that live in Europe and in central Asia have a 1-2% of monkey structure, it has a diferent name which i don't rememer). Later we played some chess and we won, yay! And for last but not least (drum roll) we talked about the history of the electricity! Fun class! Have a good day, bye!!

Ray is a kind and patient teacher. I love that he also spends time sending us the following days a recap of some of the words my kids are having a hard time pronouncing. Thanks a lot!
