I’ve been taking classes with Lee, and I can’t recommend him enough! He explains concepts so clearly and makes even the most difficult topics feel manageable. His teaching style is engaging, and he always goes the extra mile to ensure you truly understand.
He's the best!

As always Lee shows his exceptional talent in teaching. All our lessons fly by with vast enjoyment and productivity. Not only does he teach new material efficiently, but he also ensures that the student uses all the previous knowledge appropriately. Never have I had a chance to see a teacher like him with such a burning ambition to help a student progress by a mile. It has been a long time since we embarked on our journey to excel in English. And now when I look back on what we've attained together I can say confidently that he is the best teacher ever!
