"It gives me great pleasure to recommend Sheila, who is my son’s former English tutor.
Sheila taught my son for nine weeks before last September. My son had a combination of ESL and English lessons, divided into three two-hour sessions per week (six hours per week). There has been focus on grammar, essay-writing skills, comprehension and so on.
Sheila is an experienced teacher, who consistently prepared those lessons in advance. She also is good at planning a practical programme for her students to achieve their set goals step-by-step.
What I admire most is that Sheila is quite skilful in dealing with students who are learning their second language. For instance, she is capable of explaining difficult grammar or poetry with a simple tongue.
Nine weeks later, my son has observably made remarkable progress in English. He has talked more and more during the classes with completely sentences instead of short yes or no answers.
His written English has excelled as well. He is able to explain his feelings and thinking with complicated grammar in a mature written style.
In September, compared with other students my son had no difficulty communicating with teachers or working out his homework independently. Moreover, he is the most confident student in the class. To sum up, I give my highest recommendation. Sheila is a distinguished language teacher.”
