Teacher, I've learned so much since I started watching your videos. Right now I feel much more confident to communicate in english. I am brazilian and here all the english courses are generally very expensive and I coud not afford one of them to improve my listening, writing and speaking, so I have been using youtube videos to learn. Thank you so much for your kindness.

[charmsurprise]

I'm someone who has become comfortable with the two basic tenses and am at ease when helping young jr. high students wrap their minds around them but ... as the more advanced tenses have been introduced I 'had' struggled with presenting, explaining, and ensuring the students understanding and sense of ease in using...I am so much more confident now. Thank you! well done.
