TOP REVIEWS FROM TEACH ENGLISH NOW! SECOND LANGUAGE READING, WRITING, AND GRAMMAR
by PMJan 20, 2021
Although the skits are cheesy, they improve comprehension of the concepts discussed throughout the course. The course was still meaningful because it teaches you to integrate all skills in one lesson.

I thought that this was a well taught course and liked the examples. I just wish when people gave the final feedback for my teaching they would say more than something to the effect of "good job!"
