Steve is very good teacher. He is professional, patient, listening and his methods are easy to understand. I am highly recommended to who want to improve and learn English languages and skills. I have improved my accent even just couple lessons from Steve.

Steve is the best English teacher I've met. He works patiently and helps me to improve my English in my way. Studying with Steve is enjoyable. I will take lessons with him constantly.

Steve is a great tutor, and coach. He took the time to analyze where I needed to improve and worked patiently with me on those areas. Each session is a joy, and he reinforces improvement with positive affirmation.
He has a great voice and a great teaching style. If he offers other lessons that I can use, I'll take them. He is the best!
