Testimonials
A big thank you to everyone for your kind comments!
I am lucky to have met Star. She has been very helpful with improving my English speaking and writing, as well as introducing me to many western idioms. By speaking with her on a regular basis, I made progress in just one month. Star’s classes are so much fun, and because she is so knowledgeable, we talk about many different subjects during the class. Unfortunately, the time always passes far too quickly. She is such a great teacher and is now also a friend. Her classes are well prepared, she is patient, fun, caring and more! I really hope many people find Star and enjoy her classes as much as I have. Along with taking English classes with Star, she helped me improve my job interviewing skills and produce a professionally written resume.

Adrien, I like to call her by her nickname Star, always encouraged me when I did not feel confident with speaking English. She always used her numerous personal experiences and talents to lead a pleasant conversation. And, she cheered me on supporting my interests and goals in life, and used them actively in class. She is a good teacher and friend to me.

"Star and Gary are extremely talented teachers who find your weaknesses and strengths very quickly. In just a few lessons you can see improvements in your English. They can adapt to any student and find interesting topics regardless of a student's background, occupation, hobbies and goals. I wish I had more time to practice with them! I highly recommend Star and Gary to everyone. See you next summer!"

"Star & Gary have tutored me in English via the web on the WeChat app since 2017, and most recently, while I was preparing for my college English exams. They were able to explain sentence structure and correct word usage in a clear fashion which helped me greatly."

"Star (whom the children call Panda), respects the students during the teaching process, is all inclusive with a free teaching atmosphere that is advantageous to the student to participate in the classroom activity in an active way. She is always seen giving a thumbs-up in class. She is good at capturing every bright spot of every child. While educating a child, she always kneels down to make herself as tall as the children, looks at the child with affectionate eyes and gives them a thumbs-up with a kind smile. When Star smiles and gives a thumbs-up, the children are happy, confident and motivated.
Gary evaluates the children by giving high-fives and hugs. The children like his classroom as it is full of vitality and humour. He is always entertaining the students with variety. When the student does good, his applause is loud and clear. When a student cannot quite reach the requirements well, he pulls his hand back in a tricky way, let's the student correct the answer, and then he high-fives with him/her. Every time a child has made great progress or has excellent performance, he happily holds the child up in the air and then high-fives them and let's the child feel extremely proud and happy.
The children were all happy to learn and were reluctant to part with these two teachers after class.
In life, Star and Gary care for children and love them. They play games with the children after school hours. When they return home to Canada they still think about the children and are preparing gifts for the children's graduation ceremony.
They are the sowers of love. They sow the seed of love in the hearts of the children. The children love them very much. The children asked me to pass on a whisper to Star: "The children miss you so much!""

"I met Star and Gary in Kaifeng, China in April 2018. They have given me guidance in English on WeChat. They correct my pronunciation with some oral content and give me practice homework. I was so lucky to meet them and they are so patient with helping me. I am happy to be continuing my English studies with them."
