“My daughter, Sara Haru, almost 5 years old, started with the Better English lessons in January. She knows a little bit of different languages since she has parents who speak different languages, third culture kid and with Mark’s help, she got a lot better in speaking English and started being able to differentiate a little between the different languages she knows, and she also now does not get frustrated anymore in Kindergarten. She now can communicate better and answer using the correct language. Thank you, Mark!”

“Manu (5, boy) came to Karlsruhe in March 2016. He experienced English when he was in Shanghai, China. He knew the basic words, like the numbers, colors, months and days. But he could not speak. He is a so open and talkative boy. You could not image how difficult for him at the beginning. Amazing me, after only one month with Better English, he started to talk in English. Today (3 months only), he can talk & discuss in English. He enjoys movies in English. The most important is he is making friends in English. Now he doesn’t cry and cling to me when I drop him in the kindergarten every morning, instead he gives me a big smile and says “good bye”. I am so glad that I chose Mark.”

“Our son Thomas had private classes with [Better English] in order to be able to feel more integrated in his Kindergarten class (English section) at the European School Karlsruhe during 2014-2015. He came to the school with no previous English knowledge, directly from his Kindergarten in Brazil. Over time, Thomas started to develop his language skills and to be able to communicate with his class mates. He began to feel more self aware and more secure in the school environment. Although Thomas is a quiet boy and doesn’t tell us much about his Kindergarten activities, he enjoyed playing with Mark [his Better English Teacher], thereby gaining more social and language skills. For that, we are as his parents very grateful.”

Our both sons (8 and 10 years old) go to Mark for English lessons. He is a great teacher, the methods are tailored to the kids’ need, and they love English besides the school activities. We would be very happy to go on and this how the kids feel, too!

“Our son Theodor (5 years) really enjoys his English lessons and looks forward to them every week. The lessons are very fun and interesting, there is always something new to learn. His teacher encourages Theodor to talk using full sentences. He also explains the meanings of words, so they’re easy to remember. Theodor’s English has improved and he feels a lot more confident while speaking. Thank you!”

“My sons, 9 years old and 7 years old are Japanese and have learned English at ‘Better English’. They could not speak English at all except their name and age when they started to learn. In our case, the boys always had lessons together. Although their learning speeds were different, the teacher was able to teach and explain things to them by changing the level of difficulty so that both boys were able to understand. Learning was carried out through playing card games and throwing a ball etc.., therefore my sons always had a fun time. It seemed that my boys sometimes played a prank on each other during the lesson, then the teacher would organise some active games outside the classroom, of course still having the English lesson. Now my boys have started to speak fundamental words and they can reply to easy questions. I appreciated your lessons!!! (We have to look for a new teacher in Stuttgart, Ohhh)”

“Before she came to Germany in Nov. 2015, my daughter Yuhan (born in 2010) has learned English for a few months, but cannot communicate in English. Since Dec. 2015, Yuhan started to learn English with Better English. Her English capability including listening, speaking and reading  has been improved rapidly. She can now communicate with teachers and classmates, she has more fun and enjoys the life in kindergarten. Her English skill will also benefit her study in primary school since Sep 2016. As her parents, we are appreciated to Mr. Mark Johnson’s great job.”

“We’ve been enjoying Mark’s services, since he’s an excellent teacher, very professional, calm, and adapting to the children’ needs. Remarkably, he found the way to establish a connection with our daughter, who wasn’t able to express herself (English being her third language). After a half a year she gained a lot in confidence and she really made progress thanks to Mark’s abilities. We will gladly continue in the future.”

The teacher Mark Johnson was a big help for my son. He started with English in the 6. grade with zero of this language. With Mark’s professional way Philipps improvement grows to a good knowledge, and this just after one year education one hour per week. Thanks a lot, Mark!

“Our family moved to Karlsruhe in 2015 with our back then 4 years old daughter. She came with just a passive understanding of English picked up at her previous kindergarden in Prague, her birth place. The first few months at English only class of the European school were quite tough. Over time she started to navigate the new environment and improved her English. Not to lose touch with the language and to keep up the learning momentum over summer school holidays we asked Mark to provide private lessons to bridge the off the school period. Thanks to Mark’s very peronal approach she became very confident in engaging a convesation with English speakers in reatively short period of time. Moving to a bilingual KITA the following year local teachers were positively surprised by her proficiency in English. Even several months after the private lessons took place she still vividly recalls the playful learning sessions with Mark.”
