Note: I've left these reviews unedited to show the true level of all my previous students. It's okay to make mistakes! Being understood is more important than being perfect.
“Travis is a great teacher. Learning with him has been a valuable and rewarding experience for me. I'm a long-term English learner and have taken many breaks in the past, but with Travis, I’ve been able to keep learning and truly enjoy studying English. He adjusts the topic, theme, or lecture style based on my preferences, while also highlighting key points to help me improve effectively. He prepares learning materials that match my preferences and keeps me motivated by customizing both the content and the teaching approach.”

“I’m glad I found Travis. He’s patient, friendly and very knowledgeable.
He doesn’t only teach English from the textbook, but he also incorporates topics that interest the students.
I’d recommend Travis to anyone who wants to learn English regardless of age or level.”

“Travis’ manner of teaching is so wonderful and captivating! He’s patient and supportive! He really knows how to motivate his students. He’s great at building confidence and keeping lessons fun and engaging through a variety of activities. For example, his unforgettable American Culture Classes helped me not only improve my conversation, writing, and reading skills, but it did so all while learning and respecting my classmates cultures. He always encouraged us to share information about our home countries. I’m grateful to Travis for everything he taught me in English.”
