Cesar García
Amazing teacher! I have been studying English for many years and I am very impressed with how Jaco teaches. Thank you Jaco for your time!!
Emilia Lombardo
Very explanative and professional. Highly recommended, if you really want to understand how English works from the basis, especially if your mother tongue is far away from. In addition to providing useful documents and vocabulary, at the end of each topic he explained, he also provide you a test to check in if the rules have been acquired. I can't be happier.
Fabián

Monika Spari
I am very glad that I booked English lessons with Jaco. He is very friendly, always cheerful, patient, and truly a good English teacher. At first, I was a bit unsure whether it was the right choice to hire an English teacher who only speaks English and no German. But Jaco has shown that it is absolutely possible and thus I have booked more hours with him. Highly recommended.
Irene
Clase muy bien preparada y muy amena

Súper recomendable. Ha empezado a darle clases a nuestro hijo que no sabía nada de inglés y estamos muy contentos. Presenta diferentes tipos de ejercicios y le enseña vocabulario y estructuras.

Great teacher! We had a mock interview, and he helped me prepare for an actual job interview. He also shared additional resources to continue studying after the class.
Javier
Ha sido genial encontrar a Jaco. Javier está aprendiendo de forma fluida y animada, en poco tiempo se nota el progreso. Jaco se esfuerza en buscar temas que le resultan atractivos para motivarlo y mantener su atención. ¡Estamos satisfechos y muy contentos con él!
