    I have been taking classes from Mr. Alvan for more than two years and I have made a lot of progress. In addition to English knowledge, he is also outstanding in many fields and has helped me make great progress in many aspects of work.

    It's hard to ask for a better teacher than Alvan, especially in this long journey of fighting one of the biggest anxieties many of us face at work: public speaking in a non-native language in front of a huge crowd. Each week teacher Alvan always came into the class fully prepared, providing an interesting article to read, several thought-provoking discussion questions to debate on, and a lot of lighthearted jokes to laugh at together. Along with the critical, constructive feedback provided right after each class, Alvan always shows genuinely care about his student's growth and success. I'd highly recommend teacher Alvan!
