Hi, I would like to share my appreciation for the progress my son has made at KLC. When he first joined, he couldn't read simple words, but now he is able to read and pronounce words much better. Thank you to the teachers for your patience and guidance. We really see a big improvement.
My child started with almost zero foundation, and we saw significant improvement after just one month. Thank you to the centre and teachers!
The principal of KLC, Mr. Jimmy, as well as the teachers and staff, are all very friendly and helpful. My child really likes Teacher Nad and looks forward to seeing his teacher every week. I hope he can continue to enjoy learning English at KLC happily and make progress.
My daughter has improved her English after taking these lessons. I would recommend it. The teacher also provides feedback after a few lessons — very reassuring for us as parents.
Great centre with caring teachers. My child enjoys the classes and has improved a lot. The small class size makes a real difference — the teacher knows my child well.
