Feedback from one of our TESOL students

A feedback from a recent graduate of our TESOL program –

Thank you Hardelyn for this 💗

  1. What was the best experience you had in learning my TESOL program?

For me, the best experience was having a teacher who is very supportive, kind, and approachable. Teacher Bong was always there whenever I had questions or needed clarification. I really appreciate how quickly she responds to my emails. Whenever I’m confused about something, I know that she is just one email away, which made the whole learning experience much easier and less stressful for me.

I also realized that lessons become easier to learn when you have a good teacher. Even when some topics were new or challenging for me, Teacher Bong explained them clearly and made them easier to understand. Her guidance and feedback really helped me throughout the program.

  1. What’s the difference between learning from me compared to other experiences you had before?

What makes learning from Teacher Bong different is the way she genuinely supports and guides her students. In my previous learning experiences, sometimes you have to figure things out on your own after the lesson. But with Teacher Bong, I felt that I could always reach out whenever I needed help or clarification.

She is very patient, kind, and understanding. She also gives constructive feedback that helps me recognize the things I need to improve. I feel that Teacher Bong doesn’t just want us to finish the program; she really wants us to understand what we are learning and become better teachers.

  1. If you’re going to share my program to others, what would you say?

I would definitely recommend Teacher Bong’s TESOL program to anyone who wants to learn more about teaching English. I would tell them that Teacher Bong is a very supportive, kind, and helpful teacher, and you will not feel alone throughout the program because she is always willing to guide you.

One thing I really appreciate is that whenever you have a question or something you need to clarify, Teacher Bong is just one email away, and she responds very quickly. For me, having a teacher who is always available to help made the learning experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

I’m really grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from Teacher Bong. Thank you so much for all your support, patience, and guidance throughout the program! I learned a lot, not only about TESOL, but also about how to become a more supportive and effective teacher.
