Before learning: First time I had your class I know that you have the making of becoming a best student here in E-say. Although you still had lapses with your skills before, I know that it was minimal and trainable. Your pronunciation was not like any beginner and you just need to practice with long words, your grammar was not even a Chinese English most of the time but you just need to add more flavor to make it sound good, Listening was not a problem although doing your homework and listening to our recording can help you even more, Vocabulary is one area I saw that you need to improve at that time so that you can express yourself better.

After learning: After a few months of studying with me I can honestly say that you have come to your senses and I am not surprise if one of these days you will tell me that you don’t need my help because you have achieve your goal. If that day comes, I will not feel sad but rather I will feel proud because I know I achieve my goal in teaching you. Every night in our class you never stop impressing me with your choice of words and how you deliver your ideas. Don’t stop believing and one day you will get there.

我是偶然浏览网页的时候认识E-say，当场就为这种与众不同的新颖教学方式吸引。我尝试过一些机构，每次都会接触很多厉害的老师，对他们也是敬佩不已，但由于个人自觉性不强，又少有勇气在众人面前丢脸，知识最终却没能吸收多少。Private teacher 陪练口语，对于再也无法忍受自己破烂口语且对英语实用价值迷茫的我，是具有雪中送炭的意义的。虽然学费不便宜，但学生生涯更宝贵，能流利地用英语表达自己所想，为生活，为工作，也为梦想，几番比较咨询就马上报名了。

我觉得在易说堂学习非常方便，anytime，anywhere，接触到一线城市的教学资源；一对一学习的效率当然比班级教学要高得多；不必再为争夺学校有限数量的外教的关注头痛不已，在与外教老师Justine的交流中，他即是老师，更像是朋友，以课本为基材，我们畅谈各自的想法，是非常愉快，灵活的课程。每天的课程几乎成为我生活的一部分了，Justine还开玩笑地说，看着你进步，哪天你真的变得很厉害了，就会不要我这个老师了。非常有趣吧。然后我说，中国有句老话，一日为师，终身为师，放心啦；每天定时定量练习口语，外界的压力会帮助你更好地坚持下去，偶尔也会有点崩溃，所有的同学都在周五晚上出去high，你还得老实地的“备课”。长久下来，尝到了甜头，你自然会心甘情愿继续坚持喽。

每天上课前认真准备，提前预想你可能会说哪些话，会提及哪些背景，会用到哪些词汇，哪些句型，会有哪些拓展话题。虽然有很多在课上都不会用到，课上用到的是你没准备的，但在准备的过程中就会学到很多，不仅是语言基础的提高，也是知识面的拓展。课中和课后我就不多说了，E-say网站上提供了很多资源，根据自己的情况挑着用。

如果你还没有自己的一套练习口语的方法，或是没法争夺到学校外教的“独宠”，或是担心在众人面前丢脸，电话英语是一个不错的选择。
