m (IELTS対策の授業を週1回受講, 3回中、2回は自宅でスカイプレッスン、1回はカフェレッスン) (Jan/21/2016)

IELTS受験のため週1回レッスンを受けていました。
私は学生時代も含めて、彼ほど有能な先生に出会ったことがありません。彼は常に、私の弱点や英語能力の改善のために必要な要素を素早く見抜き、的確な方法を示してくれました。
最初の授業を終えた後すぐに私のためのレッスンスケジュールを作ってくれたことは私にやる気を起こさせてくれました。
どこを補強するべきか何が必要かを知っているから教材選びも間違いないです。
おかげで、3か月後の試験ではかなりスコアを伸ばすことができました。

また、彼自身がすごくきちんとしていて丁寧で信頼できる人です。
どんな時でも人を助けるための労力を惜しまない素晴らしい人です。レッスン以外のメールにもすぐに答えてくれるし、たくさんアドバイスをくれました。が、彼の意見ややり方を押し付けられたことは一度もなく、常に私の意見や考え方を尊重してくれました。
このような点は日本人にとって重要なポイントだと思います。
音楽の趣味がいいところが個人的にはとてもラッキーでした！

先生のサポートなしでは今まで勉強を続けられなかったと思うし、今こうしてイギリスでプレマスターコースをスタートできているのも先生のおかげです。とても感謝しています。
前述のとおり、彼はとても有能で人気があるので（事実、全国にたくさんの生徒をもっています）、希望通りのレッスンをとるのが難しいかもしれないし、もしくは、授業料が少々高いと感じるかもしれませんが、彼の授業はそれだけの価値があると思います。
本気で英語力を伸ばしたいと考えるなら彼の授業を一度でも試してみるべきだと思います。

y (子供２人のセミプライベートレッスン, -) (Jul/19/2012)

子供２人のセミプライベートレッスンをお願いしています。
２人の英語レベルが違うので教えるのは難しいと思うのですが、工夫してレッスンしてくださっています。

時間にも正確で、電車が遅れた時にはメールで連絡をくれました。

予習復習の資料も毎回メールで送ってくれますが、画像が鮮明でなく読みにくい事を伝えた時には、即日、コピーを自宅のポストに投函しておいてくれて、対応の速さに驚きました。

夏休みや定期試験前などの日時変更にも快く応じてくださいます。

イギリス人らしく、落ち着いて真面目に一生懸命教えてくれるので信頼できる先生だと思います。

m (英検1級対策、TOEFLスピーキング練習など。, スカイプにて。) (Jul/13/2012)

英語講師の仕事をしておりますが、いつも的確かつ温かみのあるご指導をいただき、参考になります。おかげさまで英検1級にも合格しました。
教養があり、話題が広い方で、「単なる英会話」の先生ではありません。

m (-, スカイプ) (Jan/27/2012)

満足しています。ポイントを押さえて適切に説明してくれます。
美しいイギリス英語です。ユーモアはありますが，いい加減さがなく，真面目な先生なので気に入っています。レッスン以外のe-mailでの質問にも快く答えてくれます。

k (英検1級受験の為の、長文、スピーチなど。日常会話も。, デパートのドリンクコーナー) (Sep/30/2011)

私も英語講師という職業柄、今まで何人ものネイティブスピーカーの先生を受講しましたが、Howe先生は、最高です。私の望む事を、的確に把握し、教材選びも、素晴らしく、指導が細やかで、熱心です。視野も広く、教養もあり、どんな会話にも対応できます。疑問点を、とことん掘り下げてくださり、本当に勉強になります。Howe先生に出会えたことは、私の英語力向上に、大いに役立ちます。

j (記事を読んだり、文法、熟語....私の要望に応えてくださっています, 私の家に来ていただいています) (Sep/26/2011)

わからないことを丁寧に教えてくださり、とても親切です
いろいろな教材を使い、とても楽しいレッスンです
満足度は100％です
