Keith, thank you for inviting me to your channel. It was an honor. I have always admired your teaching style and continue to learn from you. I appreciate the opportunity and hope we can do it again sometime :)

[AlHarunAbdullah]

Thanks a lot for your hardwork, Keith.

Been following your channel....appeared IELTS for the first time on 19.06.2021.

Got 7 overall....except listening...7.5 in it.


Keep up the good work.

Both of you are my favorite teachers because both of you are effective and charming teachers in your own right. I've been following Josh MacPherson for years now. I also particularly like his teaching style even though I have never taken the TOEFL. I have taken the IELTS three times already and the first time was in 2000.
