About TheForest English Center
I used to attend another Korean English class, but there were many factors that I wanted to see improved, and I was looking for a better English class elsewhere.I finally found the ideal English class at TheForest.
My recommendation is to focus on Reading, Grammer, and Essays.It is. And.Above all, to be able to learn "creative writing"!One of the attractions of this course is that it is not a conventional writing course, but rather a course where students can develop the ability to write essays based on their own opinions, and also learn the basic knowledge of paragraph writing, which is necessary for writing academic papers. Of course, reading comprehension and vocabulary are essential to this foundation. We also offer a free reading class on Fridays!
We provide a general reception for Japanese families.
