Markus W.

11 English lessons

We relocated from Germany about 7 months ago and our son still struggles with his English. Daniel quickly figured out the specific needs of our son (communication) and prepares a lot of different methods to teach (reading books, preparing paper strips with questions, telling stories and asks our son about the content). After the lesson, he provides feedback about the learning progress and helps us to find ways to improve our son's English skills at home ourselves.

1 English lesson

My daughter was having a difficult time with her first-year college English assignments. She was struggling when it came to argument essay structure in particular. Ami read her work, and showed her how to better her wording and placement. My daughter enjoys Ami's easygoing approach to improving her English skills. She went from B's to A's since Ami came into our lives. Thank you Ami!
