MARIANA / UKRAINIAN - USA

I want to express my gratitude to Donald for his professionalism, especially his ability to explain any topic very well. I spent years trying to understand the Present Perfect, but he explained it to me in just three minutes. Since then I have had no problems understanding the Present Perfect. I also appreciate his support. I had a lot of insecurities about my accent, I felt like there was something wrong with me when I spoke English. All these restrictions disappear after each lesson. 

In addition, he helped me prepare for a professional interview. We worked on my resume and interview preparation and now I've landed a professional job in less than a month, which is a fantastic result. I am truly grateful to Donald for our work together, because it was a significant breakthrough in just a few months. My life has changed dramatically, and now I can speak without any complexes. Thank you very much for everything!

"The teacher arrives when the student is ready" -- this perfectly describes my English learning journey and how I started, taking lessons with Donald for the last 3 months. He gave me guidance to practice and not be afraid to make mistakes in my job interview. 

I clearly remember my first lesson with him and how he helped me stay focused on my goals and not hesitate. Finally, I made it – I got a job in a global company.

Donald is so engaged with his students, always keeping up and celebrating how we meet our goals, as well as cheering us up when things don't go well. If you need to improve your English to get your dream job and willing to be coached by an expert, Donald is definitely your person.

After I started doing classes with Donald, my confidence in using English at my work skyrocketed. In less than one year of classes, it is incredible to see how much my writing and speaking skills evolved. Also, I feel very happy to see that my communication in English is becoming more and more natural.

Donald is very passionate about his work and students. He takes time to identify your needs to make sure he comes up with the best teaching plan possible. I took both the English proficiency and professional classes and can say that Donald is hands down one of the best professors I have had to work with. He is very friendly and approachable and finds a way to make you comfortable through the English learning journey. Even though I’m pretty fluent in English, Donald could identify my flaws and help me make my English more efficient, which is exactly what I needed.

During my career path search, I relied heavily on him, with the interview prep classes and general advice on how to navigate through corporate America. His support, passion, and meaningful feedback were very helpful and can be extremely valuable for all those seeking to build a career in the US.

I needed a teacher who could teach about different points of view than the usual (and boring) "English for Business." :) I have found in Donald the best teacher for me! Very recommended!

JUN / MANDARIN - HONG KONG

Couldn't ask for a better teacher! I have been working with Donald for over a year and a half now to improve my English. Donald is incredibly dedicated to his students and always goes above and beyond to help them learn (check out his Youtube channel and Instagram you will see). His teaching style is engaging and effective, and he has a talent for tailoring his lessons to help students with different levels of proficiency. Thanks to his guidance, I have seen a significant improvement in my English skills. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and passionate tutor, Donald is the one to choose.

MIKHAIL / RUSSIAN - USA

Earlier this year I worked with Donald on job interview preparation as part of his Professional Development classes. Donald is a very skilled, passionate and positive English teacher who has vast experience teaching English. We worked on typical behavioral interview questions, where Donald performed the role of an interviewer while I answered the questions as an interviewee. After practicing a few questions at a time, Donald gave me constructive feedback, advising what was good in my answers and what could have been improved. We repeated the process until my answers were concise and fluent. This practice, as well as Donald's excellent spot-on feedback, helped me to build up my confidence and attend real interviews feeling prepared and positive. Eventually I passed several interviews and landed two job offers with different companies.

GAL / HEBREW - ISRAEL

I enjoy my classes with Donald so much! Although I'm just at the beginning of this journey, this is one of the easiest reviews I've written. Donald is the kind of person who gives you a feeling of comfort and security from the first moment you meet and with that feeling, learning becomes easy and natural. The corner is simply a safe space for learning and experimenting. For me, the lessons are a valuable opportunity to speak English, gain confidence and learn the rules of grammar in a clear way, unlike what I was taught in the past! I am so grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to continue learning with Donald

MARCOS / PORTUGUESE - BRASIL

I needed help to practice my English for a job interview that would happen in a few days, and Donald kindly made time on his agenda to help me. He was very considerate, asking my resume and using it to simulate questions that could happen in the real interview, but also giving me useful knowledge and tips for general job interviews in the US. He's very didactical, and I felt like having a lesson in a real classroom, with him using his blackboard. He's really professional and a great teacher. He's also attentive, pointing out mistakes in my speech and giving me knowledge about details that makes a relevant difference to achieve fluency. It was very productive. I highly recommend him!

SHEILA / PORTUGUESE - BRASIL

Usually, I don't give comments but Donald deserves to be recommended. He has such a good vibe and most importantly, he genuinely wants to help so he works to figure out the way students can improve. I'm pretty confident that with him I'll get better at writing skills.

LEMUEL / SPANISH - PUERTO RICO

So happy to have the opportunity to learn something new and have Donald as a teacher.  I started learning "reported speech". It is a great topic because it is something that I do everyday at work. We practiced conditional-subjunctive and cause and effect. Thank you Donald because finally I have a better understanding. Best teacher ever! Thank you for all your help and your hard work. He is really GREAT!

ELHAM / FARSI - IRAN 

Donald is a wonderful teacher. He is encouraging, kind, patient and professional. He is currently helping me with my writing and every time we meet, he comes up with fun and effective ways to correct my essays and give me pieces of advice on how to improve. He has also made a Google drive for our online and offline communications. I can have access to his comments and corrections, and extra teaching materials, anytime through our google drive page.

Having classes with Donald has helped me to overcome my fear of the GRE writing test. Now I believe that by practicing more and receiving comments and tips from him I can write faster and develop my argument much more easily. I totally recommend him to anyone that seeks to prepare for an English test or improve their English skills in general.

I took my first class with Donald today and I can barely wait for the next! He speaks clearly and gave me some material to read. He suggested me also a pathway to accomplish my objectives. Donald is more than a teacher, he acts like a mentor pushing me toward my objective to get a PhD position in USA. Let's go ahead!
