“我想感谢David Bowers在我学习英语的宝贵岁月中出现。他对学生和学习的热情、激情和爱激发了我在美国继续接受教育的愿望，并保持对所有事物的好奇心....”“老实说，我认为这门课改变了我整个的生活...他的课非常引人入胜且生动，因为我们都可以参与彼此的对话。他从不仅限于教科书内容，经常介绍我们从未听说过的话题。”“David创造了自己的游戏叫'Redígo',他用游戏的方法来传达文本内容.... 我非常喜欢控制自己的角色并掷骰子看结果。回想起来，我相信这种游戏方法鼓励我更多地讲英语，而不用担心犯错误。”

“I would like to thank David Bowers for the precious years he appeared in my English learning journey. His enthusiasm, passion, and love for students and learning has inspired me to continue my education in the US and to keep my curiosity for everything....”“To be honest, I think this class has changed my entire life... His classes were very engaging and lively because we all got to participate in conversations with each other. He never limited contents to textbooks and often introduced topics that we have never heard before.”“David created his own game called “Redígo”, which he used the approach of game to convey contents in texts.... I was so much into controlling my own character and throwing the dice to see how things work out. And thinking back from today, I believe this game approach encouraged me to talk more English without worrying about making mistakes.”

“I am delighted to write this testimonial for David, my former English teacher, whose impact on my educational journey has been truly remarkable. David possesses a rare blend of kindness, passion, and innovation in his teaching method that sets him apart from the rest.“Throughout my time in David's English class, I experienced a transformative learning environment. His kindness and approachability created a classroom atmosphere where students felt comfortable expressing their thoughts and ideas. David's genuine care for his students went beyond the academic realm; he took the time to understand each student individually, fostering a sense of community and support.“What truly distinguishes David is his innovative teaching approach. He seamlessly integrated technology, real-world examples, and creative assignments to make the learning experience engaging and relevant. His lessons were not confined to textbooks; instead, he encouraged us to think critically and apply our knowledge to practical situations. I vividly remember the stimulating discussions and interactive activities that made every class a joy to attend.“I feel incredibly fortunate to have had David as my English teacher.

“大家好！我叫 Russell Wu，是加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的一名中学生。我于2022年移民到加州。从2020年起我一直是他的学生。David是一位非常好的老师，他非常有耐心：他向我解释语法，甚至我不懂的单词的含义。有时候他甚至为了完成课堂而牺牲他的休息时间。他的课也很有趣。我非常喜欢他的课。即使我搬到了美国，我仍然在上他的课，因为他的课对我在美国学校的课程也很有帮助。他的课程也帮助我更快地适应了美国的教育环境。”

"Hello everyone! My name is Russell Wu, a middle school student in Los Angeles, CA. I immigrated to California in 2022. I have been his student since 2020. David is a very good teacher and he is very patient: he explains to me the grammar, and even the meaning of words that I don’t understand. Sometimes David sacrificed his rest time to finish the class. His class was also very interesting. I enjoyed his class very much. Even I moved to the United States, I am still having his class, because his class was also very helpful to me in my school’s course in US. His courses also helped me adapt to the American educational environment faster."

"你好，我是奥古斯特，我和大卫学习了两年，在大卫的课堂上，我学到了很多，从拼写到语法，从如何写段落到如何编故事，我现在是美国的学生。大卫的课教给了我写文章的技巧，这对语言艺术很有帮助。在上大卫的课之前，我只能写一些简短的东西，就像是一个300字的段落，但是在这之后，我可以自己写一个故事，而且不用担心语言问题。大卫是一个真正擅长中文的老师，你可以问任何你不懂的东西。在大卫的课上，我可以成为一名特工，拯救世界，我可以成为一名精灵，解开诅咒。这真的能锻炼我的想象力和搜索信息的技能。和大卫学习是个明智的选择！"

"Hi, I'm August, I've studied with David for 2 years, in David's class, I learned a lot, from spellings to grammar, from how to write a paragraph to how to how to write a story, I'm now a student in the USA. David's class taught me how to write a essay, that is useful for the language arts. Before I took David's class, I could only write something short, just like a 300-word paragraph, but, after this, I can write a story by myself, and I don't need to worry about the language. David is a really good Chinese speaker, and you can ask anything that you don't know. In David's class, I can be a agent, and save the world, I can be a elf, and solve the curse, It can really practice my imagination, and my skills of searching information. It's a good choice to learn with David!"
