Wirklich super & effektiv!""Ethan ist ein super professioneller und engagierter Lehrer. Sein Unterricht ist abwechslungsreich und dabei auf die individuellen Interessen und Bedürfnisse des Schülers ausgerichtet. Er arbeitet jede Stunde nach und schickt innerhalb weniger Stunden ein feed back anhand dessen man seine Fehler korrigieren kann. Ethan ist außerdem extrem geduldig, immer gut gelaunt, er erfüllt für mich die typischen charakteristischen Merkmale eines Amerikaners: immer positiv und enorm hilfsbereit auch über den Unterricht hinausgehend . Ich bewerte ihn eindeutig mit 5 Punkten.""Seitdem ich Unterricht bei Ethan nehme, hat sich mein Englisch massiv verbessert. Er ist immer engagiert auf der Suche nach interessanten Themen, die im Gespräch vertieft werden, was auch den Wortschatz durch ständige praktische Anwendung erweitert. Dabei analysiert er Schwächen und Fehler und geht in anschliessenden Übungen sehr gezielt darauf ein. Die Termingestaltung ist flexibel, er ist zuverlässig und megasympathisch. Von mir gibt's ganz klar 8 von 5 Sternen."[via SuperProf - https://www.superprof.de/ir/2497636-91d701]
