What Teachers Love About betterclass
We didn't reach out for reviews. Teachers just wrote in, and their
words said more than ours could.
Your service and content are fantastic and it's been great using them in classes. Students love it!
You resources for ESL classes are simply the best! I've been using your materials from more than a year and you both really solved all of my problems for my private 1-to-1 classes. It's very hard to find online, really tailored lesson plans that are adapted to speaking skill classes. Many of the materials from other websites are very similar and too predictable. The way you present the lessons in slides, very simplified, make them very attractive, visually relaxing for both, the teacher and the student.
I love your content, I find it very interesting and stimulating, so I started using it with my students and I can see how more engaged they are now. Thank you for all your work and creativity! I'm looking forward to seeing more.
In the past, I used some betterclass free lessons, so I know pretty well what to expect. The lessons are trendy, well designed, interesting topics, engaging activities, the students are motivated to speak and share, and they like the content. Great. I also appreciate the variety of topics and levels. Helpful. Sending my kind regards to all who make these special materials available for the members of the betterclass community.
Your lessons are the best!!! I thought for a long time about which platform to choose for speaking with adult students who don't really need grammar. So I chose your resource because of its very pleasant visuals and lots of speaking rather than exercises that adults can do on their own
I’ve actually been using betterclass for years, and I genuinely LOVE your product (and so do my adult students!) Your lessons have saved me more than once, and I’ve always been impressed by how engaging and thoughtfully designed everything is.
A well-designed lesson plan tells students you take the class seriously. A messy one tells them you grabbed whatever you could find. Our materials look like you spent hours on them, even though you didn't.
