  • I was very happy to have this English course! My teacher Sam asked me in the beginning, what problems do I have in my English and made our lessons maximum effectivelly. We worked through the sections of grammar that were difficult for me, such as tenses, prepositions and articles. With Sam's help I learned the vocabulary during a telephone conversation, which is important for possible future work and everyday life. Sam constantly paid respect to my wishes and concerns in certain areas and explained in detail and patiently. I especially liked his naturalness and humor, as if he spoke to me on an equal level of knowledge of the language☺ And the main feeling I've got after each lesson was my growing self confidence in my English level! 10 sessions passed very fast, but I found them very professional and effective. Thank you OTUK and Sam!
