What our customers say

 我们已经和Petman老师学习一年了，孩子的进步有目共睹，初学时孩子们水平仅为英国四年级，经过一年的学习已经达到英国六年级孩子的水平，这一年口语听力阅读理解都在显著提高，孩子敢说愿意说，尤其是Petman老师的教学方法非常贴近英国本地学校，通过动画，游戏方式教学吸引孩子提高学习兴趣！感谢Petman老师！ We've been learning with Mr Petman for a year now, and our child's progress is remarkable. When they first started, their level was only equivalent to a UK Year 4 student, but after a year, they've reached the level of a UK Year 6 student. Their speaking, listening, and reading comprehension skills have all improved significantly this year. They're more confident and willing to speak. Mr Petman's teaching methods are particularly effective and closely aligned with those of local British schools, using animation and games to engage children and increase their interest in learning! Thank you, Mr Petman!
