Testimonials attesting to my teaching ability follows: Lilian Jul 9, 2015 Accent Reduction · Online A class made for my needs, with interesting materials and always a great topic to discuss. I wouldn't trade him for any other teacher! Flavio Jul 6, 2015 ESL. Accent Reduction · Online George is a very didactical, enthusiastic, patient and empathic teacher. He explains very well and has always great examples to make sure the student learns the topic properly. He uses different approaches and methods during the course, adapting to the student needs. Definitively George enjoys teaching. By Simone F. on 3/15/2015 ESL Online I had my lessons a few weeks ago with George. First of all I was very nervous and afraid to talk. But after the first lesson it was so easy to me to talk to George, to discuss with him, to read in front of him, to do the materials he gave to me for grammar or things like that. I throught after a few lessons that I'm not talking to a teacher, but a friend in a foreign country. His lessons are serious, but not with the strength you maybe know from school. And the lessons are also focussed on things you need for your learning, for getting better. My english is now more better I expected at the beginning. I speak more fluently, my vocabulary is much bigger and I feel safer when talking to other english speaking persons. Well done, George :) By Ruth B. on 1/29/2015 ESL Online I am always looking forward to my lessons with George. These are very effectively, but nevertheless we have a lot of fun. He is a really good teacher and a wonderful person. Thanks a lot George! By Niko G. on 1/19/2015 ESL, Online It is always fun to learn together with George. I appreciate his kind and practical art of teaching vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar. Thank you very much George. Olaf B. on 1/17/2015 ESL Online At first, George makes a really good job. He is very qualified in teaching and every lesson helps me to get better in (American) English and improve my vocabulary. Furthermore the lessons are very diversified with many exercises in reading, speaking and listening and sometimes we have a very good discussion about political themes. Thank you very much, George!
