k (海外出張のための英会話, 自宅) (May/12/2016)

とても優しく、穏やかで、日本人的感性を持ち合わせた素敵な先生です。
英語教師としてはもちろん、人生の師として、尊敬できます。
海外出張のための英会話レッスン、小学生の子供たちへのレッスンを自宅で受けました。自宅まで約束の時間にきっちり来てくれます。

a (４月から海外へ転勤予定のため、その準備のため, 生徒の自宅にて) (Mar/22/2012)

小学１年生でしたが、先生がゲームをしてくれたり子どもが飽きない工夫をして下さったおかげで、毎回楽しくレッスンできました。１回６０分、週１回のレッスンを７ヶ月受けました。
アルファベット大文字、小文字の読み書き、簡単な単語のスペリング、挨拶、1000までのカウント、曜日、月、簡単な絵本のリーディングなどができるようになりました！そしてやはりネイティブの先生の発音を聞くことで、娘の発音もとても美しいものになったと思います。
４月から海外へ転勤予定のため、その準備のためにレッスンをお願いしました。
