Currently my son has been attending about 5 classes already, he has been able to recognise word sounds better.

I really like how the teachers are very detailed in what they learned and also explains after every lesson what is needed to be improved and what he’s able to do on his own.

Still have room for improvement for his reading but so far enjoying the progress.

The teachers at Jan & Elly at Greenwich V are very professional. I like how they make the effort to do a debrief to the parents after every session so that we know what have been taught and what should be revised with my child. My 6-yo son loves coming to class every week, because he thinks the class is fun and engaging! Highly recommend Jan & Elly for children who wish to learn their phonics/ English well.
