Lessons With Teacher Isaac
Lessons with Teacher Isaac was fun all the time. His teaching is reasonably good that I am able to keep up. I learnt many new words and he taught us to do composition. My class mates are friendly and kind too. Recently, Teacher Isaac dismissed us as I need to break my fast. Thank you for being an understanding and kind teacher. I enjoyed having your class.
