大学生のための英語のレッスン
最近学生は大学で英語をよく使うので、英語を勉強したいが、個人レッスンは高いです。だから、大学生の場合グループレッスンの方がいいと思います。もし４人から６人までのグループを作ったら、メンバーが勉強したい英語を教えます。１人毎月4回で5000円です。場所はあなたのご希望の場所で出来ます。私の生徒はいろいろな人がいます。例えば、大学の先生はプレゼンテーション英語を練習します。イギリスの大学で勉強したい大学生は大切な試験「IELTS」を勉強します。1999年から日本で英語を教えています。興味があったら、連絡してください。 John Rowan

Sushi is more delicious than natto. Generally, British food isn't as delicious as Japanese food. They are different, but the British Autumn is as beautiful as the Japanese Autumn.
