“For our son David (6 years old) learning English is like opening a window towards the world. After 4 months of studying with Better English, he enjoys music in English language more, can watch movies with original soundtrack, he can read and communicate in this language with family and friends. He knew only a few words in English and did not want to use them much before starting the private classes. Now, he is confident, thinks that speaking English is a lot of fun (and easy) and he does not waste any opportunity to start a conversation in this language. “

“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.”

I think Better English is a good place to learn English for the people who don’t understand the basics of English. By learning in Better English, I was able to understand the tenses and common rules. For my exam in Japan, Mr. Mark helped me a lot with writing English essay and I was able to pass the exam. If you have an English exam, I recommend you Better English!

My daughter Nikki started taking English lessons with Mark just a few months a go and I have to say the improvement has been phenomenal! Mark’s teaching technique is exceptional and with his fun and professional approach, Nikki has built up a strong confidence and now looks forward to every single session with Mark. Thank you for the great work. Well appreciated.

“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.”

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 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!”

“Learning by playing works great! When our son started English with Better English, he was able to just say his name and age. Now, he has started school in English and he feels comfortable and confident. For him it is fun and he is not feeling at all that he has classes, he really enjoys spending the time with his teacher. The variety of the activities during the lessons is very attractive for our kid: reading books, playing football and many games, exploring new areas. He has every day other extra activities, but to English classes he is going every time with no comments (you know how the kids are…). For us, this is a very good sign and the results are noticed day by day.”

“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.”

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!
