“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.”
William Arthur Ward
At Kensington English, we strive to Learn English, Have Fun. Our classes, be they for children, adolescents or adults, are designed to motivate and inspire our students to discover more of the English language.
