Hello! Today we've done 3 things, first we did a quiz, which was about a dog that got his bowl stuck 2 times in a row, second we did a scary quiz about the danger of animal (we discovered that nature kinda rhymes with danger) and for last but not least we did a word game. Fun Class! Byee!

My child has thoroughly enjoyed classes with Teacher Ray and has made remarkable progress in English. Ray's innovative question-and-answer approach, based on the text, encourages active thinking and fosters an excellent reading habit in young learners. This method has significantly improved my child's interactive dialogue skills. Ray’s professionalism, kindness, and generosity as a teacher truly stand out, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding English tutor for their child.

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!

G'day! Today we've done many things like a Cambridge oral test, some hard vocabulary, and a pretty hard color quiz, after that we talked a bit about HIIT, and for last but not least we played a game which is called World of Wonders, which is about making words with specific letters. Fun Class! Byee!
