Great teacher who customizes sessions based on individual needs

Although we are still at the beginning of my learning, he has been great to work with. He is a encouraging and patient teacher who cares about his students’ end goals.

Patient, knowledgeable and positive teacher

Ken is a good tutor. When I was struggling in Toefl reading section, he explained each answer patiently and gave me more confidence about my English skill. He understands that how is difficult to learn English as the second language for a international students. He also gives good suggestions to use proper words in the writing. I improve my writing a lot too.

Knowledgeable teacher

Ken gave a lot of tips to practice English continuously. He proposed some options to do it. They are very useful for me to start from now on today. Additionally he is able to understand my current situation, not only English skills but also cultural point of view, it is comfortable to talk to him.

Excellent tips

In our first class Ken helped me a lot with important tips to improve my English. The good thing for me is that we decide together the interested subjects to discuss in our classes.

Ken is a very erudite man

I’m sure he can help you with different tasks. This time we were working on a job interview preparation. Two years ago, Ken helped me with my TOEFL exam. Feel free to reach out to him in any ‘language’ situation.

Patient and experienced English tutor

Ken B. is very patient and experienced as an English tutor. He taught me right usages and correct pronunciations of words, as well as the way for learning English. We talked about daily news and everyday life on class, practising my spoken English. He always let me feel relaxed and confident in conversation, without worrying about accent and grammar. I can see how much improvement I've made after classes. l hope this review is helpful to other English learners like me.
