Parent testimonial: "[Khema's] lessons don't strictly follow textbook content and are instead designed with original activities to keep the children interested and engaged. Through this, they learn and cover content from their textbooks without even realising it. Although parental assistance is required during lessons, she is an especially great teacher for parents who want their children to receive guidance from a native English speaker, wish to communicate with a teacher accurately in Japanese and value strong parent-teacher cooperation in helping their children learn English." - Female, housewife.
