You're really the game changer teacher, I must say. I've never learned tenses like this before, beautifully explained, and made complex rules simpler. I can't thank you enough for your contribution, Sir!

Hey keith. Namrata this side. I have commented on most of your videos and attended many of your live classes. I have been following you for over 8 months now. I gave my ielts in January and received a score of 7.5 thanks to your guidance. However, my score was not sufficient so i applied again but dues to the COVID lockdown my exam kept getting postponed for several months. It was on September 12th that i gave my ielts for the second time.

Today i received my result and i am pleased to tell you that i got 8.5, 7.5, 7.5, 8.5 as my result. An 8.5 band on my speaking test. Can you believe this. I want to give all the credit to you. You are such a wonderful teacher i cant even begin to explain my gratitude towards you. The kind of patience and expertise you have is mind blowing. I wanted to let you know because i am highly thankful for your service. And i now recommend your channel to every single ielts aspirant. God bless you always. You are opening doors for all the students around the world. Thank you.

Thanks a lot. Being non-native speaker, it’s really hard for me to speak eloquently, big love to Keith. I have my ielts exam two days later, please pray for me. I’m afraid i can make a good speaking session.

I finally could tell a memory in English today. thanks, sir Keith.
It was the Iran-Australia's football match. We were waiting for a bus, taxi or even anything to take us home. we were walking in the way of home and asking any passengers about the result of the game.
