“Hi, I’m Yoshi. I lived in Toronto 2 years ago with my wife and had a working holiday visa. Veronica was my first teacher when I took my first ESL class. At that time I couldn’t speak or write in English. I just knew the alphabet and the verb to be… She is really kind with all students and she can make you feel comfortable in class. I have a special memory about her. I used to write a diary every day for 6 months while I was taking ESL classes. Veronica read and checked my writing in her free time! And then she returned it by the time I went home so I could write again. She checked my grammar and my spelling. I think it’s so hard to do this. My English improved because of Veronica:)… After I left Toronto, I visited Mexico, Brazil and Spain with my wife and it was easier because of our improved English. I appreciate Veronica :)… Thanks!!” – Yoshiyuki Moriizumi, Japan, advanced level student
