“Rochel, thank you so much for being a wonderful teacher. I can definitely see improvement in speaking and even writing (in an unexpected way). Your top-rated professionalism, rich teaching techniques, deep understanding of foreign students’ speaking habits, and constant efforts to create a friendly learning atmosphere all make my class more productive. I would like to recommend your class to any of my friends who are considering to learn the American accent.”
