Dooyoung J.

41 English lessons

I'm learning English as a second language. I've learned English for more than 10 years but still very uncomfortable and feel shame and not confident. But the teacher gives me more confidence for English. I'm focused on conversation but learn grammar and writing skills too. Every time I bring a paper of writing in English, he corrects mistakes in terms of grammar and fluency. Recommend for students who are looking for proper English tutor.
