Dear Mrs. Ann,

​

I spent approximately six months of my three-year English education process face to face, and the rest online, and enjoyed both experiences. You have been a tremendous source of inspiration as my English teacher, with your exceptional teaching skills and personality. Your patience, understanding, smile, and motivation during classes always kept me more focused on learning.

Moreover, feeling comfortable with you during our conversations, and not just as a student but as a friend, helped me learn English more effectively. Your flexibility in classes, considering my ideas, and adapting to changes also contributed, making my learning process more efficient.

​

Learning English with you has been a delightful and inspiring experience. Despite previous attempts to learn English, I succeeded with you. It helped me grasp the role of English in life and contributed to my personal development. I learned that English is the gateway to the world. I am grateful to you; you have been not only a teacher but also a guide and supporter for me. I am happy to recommend you to everyone I know.

​

Thank you.

​

Best regards,

​

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Ann as an exceptional English teacher. Over the past 3 years, Ann has played a pivotal role in my nephew's academic journey, transforming him from a novice in English to a confident speaker.

When my nephew first came to the US five years ago, he lacked focus and didn’t know a word of English. However, under Ann's guidance, he underwent a remarkable transformation. Ann possesses a rare combination of patience, kindness, and firmness, when necessary, which proved instrumental in engaging my nephew and fostering his learning.

​

Ann employs innovative teaching methods tailored to my nephew's individual needs, ensuring that he remains motivated and interested in his studies. Despite the initial challenges my nephew faced, Ann never wavered in her dedication to his progress. Through her encouragement and unwavering support, my nephew has improved tremendously his English skills and has caught up with his academic studies.

​

Moreover, Ann creates a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and supported. Her ability to cultivate a sense of community within the classroom fosters collaboration and enhances the overall learning experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ann as an English teacher. Her passion for teaching, combined with her exceptional skills and unwavering commitment to her students' success, make an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their English proficiency, whether individually or within an educational institution.

​

I had a really great experience with Ann in the last 3 years. She is the best teacher I have ever encountered in my English learning process. My English was very poor when I arrived in Canada from China 3 years ago. I was afraid to open my mouth because of not confident and shy.

​

Ann was very friendly, helpful, and patient with any questions I could ask. She also comforted me gently whenever I asked random questions. She is a very patient teacher and never loses focus during class with me. I feel more confident than before and can speak fluently.

​

Ann is a smart and organized teacher. She is good at finding topics that interest us and makes my language learning more interesting. In her teaching, I not only learned knowledge but also have fun.

​

The way she encouraged me really meant a lot to me. I really appreciate her efforts, and I highly recommend her for any stage of English learning.

​

It is honor that I am writing for Ms. Ann. I am a U.S. Citizen because of you and your help. I started learning English from Ms. Ann in 2015. I remember those days. I am very thankful to you that your help and kindness helping me to work in the United States. You gave me confidence to speak and write on my own. 

​

You are very nice soft-spoken and kind-hearted lady. You have a quality to teach. I recommend "Ms. Ann". She is very talented, helpful and honest person.

Irene – Laos

​

I am very thankful for all the English lessons you have taught me. You helped me improve my English skills and study for the US Naturalization Interview and Test. Thanks to you, I passed.

 

I really liked that your English lessons were tailored to my specific needs and deficiencies. In class, you always being in a happy mood made my learning experience very comfortable. I always could not wait for your next class.

​

It was funny how all the verbs I used were all simple present and nothing else. I would use the word 'go’ for everything when I should have used the word 'gone’ because it happened already.

​

English is very difficult, and you made learning English enjoyable. I most definitely recommend you to anyone looking to improve their English. You have changed my life. Thank you.

Mrs. Ann has been a wonderful teacher and is patient, understanding and encouraging. Her classes are about me and my needs rather than closely following the curriculum. I have learned a lot during our classes. I am always excited about the way that Mrs. Ann teaches me. I always look forward with anticipation for our class meeting.

Dear Ann,

​

I am fortunate to study English in your class. I look forward to every lesson you teach.

​

I am very pleased with your English lessons: the way you speak clearly and patiently so that it is understandable to your students. I cherish how you care for us to be able to understand your explanations, and how persistently you convey new material with knowledge. 

​

You pay attention to every student in the class regardless of their level of English proficiency. English is difficult for me at my age (77), especially the ability to speak it, but thanks to you, I am improving my knowledge. 

​

At the beginning of my study, it was difficult for me to understand and read texts in English. Thanks to your attention, my knowledge of reading and writing has significantly improved. All students respect you and you have the talent to teach English. Thank you very much for your English lessons. I wish you success in your teaching.

Ai Xiang – China

​

During my time in the United States, under your guidance and inspiration, my English learning abilities have improved significantly. This improvement is mainly due to your talent, selflessness, and patience.

​

Whenever I introduce the highlights of America to my friends and mention you, they are always deeply moved and inspired by your great love and simplicity. You are the best and most remarkable teacher in my heart. Although we are in different countries, our teacher-student bond remains strong, and our friendship endures.

​

As the saying goes, "The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to the individual." In the days ahead, I will redouble my efforts to learn common English, preparing to be an unqualified translator when you come to China. You are always welcome to visit China!

​

Dear Ann,

​

I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent attending your English classes at the community church. You not only imparted knowledge but also helped us understand the value and significance behind it.

​

You possess a gentle and approachable demeanor, and your teaching philosophy of starting with the basics and progressing to deeper levels is very professional and meets the learning needs of all age groups.

​

The classroom atmosphere was very lively, with your humorous language and appropriate teacher-student interactions. During our participation in church studies, you were never absent. You always taught each class with full energy and enthusiasm.

​

We were very surprised when we learned that your son contracted COVID-19 during this period! Your extremely responsible attitude towards work is the best education for us. During the pandemic, our learning shifted to online, and your teaching materials and computer operation further demonstrated your solid teaching skills. Your teaching is both professional and serious, benefiting us for a lifetime.

​

Our time together was so short, but the memories will last much longer. Even though we may not see or hear each other, the thoughts remain. Thank you for your hard work. I wish you a world full of students! I wish you health, happiness, and everlasting joy!

I learned a lot in a very short time because when I started in your classes I didn't know any English. With your teachings, your way of explaining and the help you give to learn to pronounce are very good. In the time I was in your classes I learned a lot since you have a lot of patience and that is very important for us as your students.
