I'm gonna speak my mind loud and clear: You're one of the best english teachers in YouTube.

Speaking from experience, you are a good English teacher on YouTube. I am speaking my mind here. You are not speaking our ears off. Don't worry about that. Your action does speak louder than words. This makes you different from others. Thank you.

Teacher Wes, greetings from 🇵🇰!

I wanted to thank you, I've nailed 7 bands (overall) in IELTS just because of your videos. Frankly speaking, it was a four-days prep, and I got my desired bands w/ minimal practice. I've also messaged you on IG, but I think you haven't checked your DMs.

Anyways, thanks once again!

This lesson is invaluable, professor Wes. 👏🏼 You may not have intended for it to also benefit young adults on the spectrum, but “speaking from experience, ” I can say that idioms and expressions can be extremely challenging. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Your sentence examples, linked with visual images and video clips make them so much easier to understand. 💡 Where have you been all my life! 😂 #ThankYouVeryMuch
