- Ekam teachers are very patient with their children. Our baby with zero foundation can also understand and master the content of the class through the teacher ’s expressions and body movements.
- My child is very sensitive to language and is in a critical period of learning. I was hoping that he will be exposed to pure expression from an early age. The Ekam teachers have helped my child with the pronunciations and its flattering to see my child talk English so fluently at this tiny age. I am very happy!
- The atmosphere of the class is very good, The Ekam curriculum is suitable for children to learn the language and etiquette. During class, children are always attracted by the rich teaching scenes and games. They learn loudly while following, and they are very interested. I often come back from work and hear his voice before I enter the house.
