Reviews from students

I started learning English from scratch, I can say I didn't even know the letters. I studied German at school. When I realized that English is very important for my work, I turned to John's Online School. After 2 years, I can communicate with my boss and can easily conduct business correspondence.

Student, 34 years old, Russia

I want to leave a review about our English teacher, John!!! He is a professional in his field, he taught my daughter Camilla to love the language, to study it with interest!!! The child is happy to study in the online format. The lesson itself, well, is no different from a real lesson. You do not need to go anywhere. You sit comfortably at home, and at a time convenient for you, you are helped in learning a foreign language.

Sabina

Camilla’s mother,

Here is my message about Samuel’s success.
Since Samuel started studying English with John, I have seen significant progress in his English. His grades at school have improved as well.
He is very motivated to study English now.
With his previous teacher, he had absolutely no motivation to learn English. Now it’s very different.
We are very thankful to John for doing his best and being such a good teacher for Samuel.

Samuel’s mother,

My son is learning English from John and Keiko online. They are not just native speakers, and not just experienced teachers with experience... They teach English with Japanese quality. John himself participated in the development of a unique method of spoken English (the GrapeSEED English program for Children) for Japanese schoolchildren, which allows you to master the language at least twice as fast. We are happy. My son is happy. The rapid progress is obvious. We recommend their teaching.

In the modern world, it seems vital to me to be able to communicate with people of different cultures and countries, to find mutual understanding with them, common ground, developing yourself and sharing your life experience with others. It is important to give children the opportunity to learn foreign languages from an early age, since it is at this age that learning them is easiest. A real lifesaver in achieving this goal for me were classes using the unique method of John Harrington and his charming wife Keiko Amati. Their course, thought out in the smallest detail, is aimed, first of all, at the fastest possible acquisition of spoken language skills by children. In a short lesson, children learn a large volume of new vocabulary and, due to the multiple repetition of basic structures, stop being afraid to speak a foreign language, learn to express their feelings, thoughts and emotions and quickly progress in their language skills. The lessons are very intensive, playful, with constant switching between communication, games, songs, reading short stories and watching short videos, so the children do not get tired and perceive the lesson as a fun adventure. The children really appreciate the friendly, favorable atmosphere of the lessons and always look forward to the next lesson. Our family is very happy to meet John and Keiko, we want to wish their language project prosperity and further success in their wonderful mission with all our hearts!

Marina Mafikova (Zarina, Milana, Nazar)

Hello, I would like to leave a review and general impressions of the lessons with Mr. John. This is my first experience of communicating with a foreigner, and, frankly speaking, I felt some uncertainty in my abilities, wondering "Will I be able to handle this level?" But all this was before the first lesson. When the lesson was over, all my barriers collapsed and I felt a surge of confidence and inspiration to improve myself. For which I am immensely grateful to Mr. John, the curator, who instills faith in my abilities. What else I would like to note is that at the reflection stage, Mr. John notices the student's strengths, this speaks of his attentive attitude towards his students. I look forward to the start of our lessons.

Alexandra Kryusova

English Teacher (Irkutsk, Russia)

Girls and boys, as well as their moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, read the review from an 'adult girl,' a teacher with over 30 years of experience teaching English and many years of experience preparing graduates for the OGE and USE exams about classes with Mr. John. Don't be surprised; teachers and students are united by the words 'to learn and learning.' We also continuously learn, improve our qualifications, and develop various skills and abilities.

Classes with Mr. John are a great opportunity to enhance your speaking skills and discuss many topics, including methodological questions, in a friendly atmosphere in English. John is always ready to adapt his lessons to individual requests, listen, and answer all arising questions. Additionally, I personally appreciate that he genuinely loves Moscow, Russia, and Russians, because I also love my country.

I know that he has extensive experience working not only with adults but also with preschool and school-aged children. Moreover, John is a polyglot, which says a lot. I am sure that you will also appreciate the help of John or his colleagues if you sign up for their classes.

Elena Povarissova

My husband and I are learning from John. My husband has become much more confident in speaking English. He said he is surprised at how he has started using more complex phrases and words over time during lessons with John and in conversations with other people. I am an English teacher and I am studying to improve my conversational skills. John is always very supportive, gives a lot of praise, provides interesting topics, and takes our interests into account during our discussions.
