TESOL course 2016

 

 

'Having lessons with Mr Currie was very good. We went through some literature such as Animal Farm and To Kill A Mockingbird during the lessons. It was very helpful for me to understand the characters, background, content and the culture of the books. Mr Currie also helped me with preparing the English reading exams. We practised doing unseen texts and learned lots of new vocabulary. He also helped me with my essay. He corrected my grammar, vocabulary and the structure of the essay. He gave me new ideas on writing the essay. Overall, I had a very good time with Mr Currie and he helped me lots with my English speaking and reading.'

Camelia Qin, online high school student

 

 

'I’m very satisfied with the content. Every class we talk about different subjects and I’m learning a lot. The class is dynamic and time flies. Mike always makes corrections about my mistakes and also sends me an email after the class, with new vocabulary and corrections.

​

The way he explains is very clear and he always answers all questions during class. He is very organized and punctual. He has never cancelled any class. Great communication between teacher and student. He always organizes class schedules in advance, looking for the best time according to the student’s availability.

 

I can only thank you for the excellent work during this time. You are one of the best teachers I have ever had. During these five months, my English has improved a lot and I’m very happy and more confident. Your class is dynamic, making learning a new language fun and enjoyable.

Thanks.'

'I am a new immigrant from China. To better understand English and New Zealand culture I restarted learning English at 48. It’s a little bit hard for me, but fortunately, I found teacher Mike as my personal tutor. He is so patient, enthusiastic and professional. He has a very good method for foreigners. If you would like to study English and make overseas life easier, please don’t hesitate to choose Mike.'
