A Truly Immersive and Innovative English Learning Experience Richard is a great English teacher and his support during my trip to Toronto was amazing. I took English classes, but 'out of the box'. We were in different places in Toronto, speaking in English. Talking all the time with Richard and, during classes, with other people. It was an opportunity to have a real immersion, because a daily routine talking to natives is the best way to improve. I really appreciate this method of teaching; a true immersion. We talked about places, about our careers, asked for a coffee or a meal in a restaurant, and that’s the reality for a native here. The classes were personalized and catered to my exact needs. My intention was to think like a native here, and experience the same sensations. To gain confidence and really unlock my English to improve, I believe this is the best way. Thanks Richard.
