Don Lee's program was the best choice for me to enhance my English proficiency and to gain confidence in English. And through this program, I was able to meet the best coach.

Executive Director, Daiso Korea

Global Head, SAP Labs Korea

I can confirm that Don Lee program was one of my best English training experiences even though I have taken only about 2+ months so far.

CEO, Brainsoft Inc

I can confirm that Don Lee's program was one of my best English training experiences, even though I have taken only about 3+ months so far. Based on tight 1:1 coupling between the coach and myself, the program has been continuously tuned and customized for me. It was not just English coaching, but also business coaching.

CEO, thyssenkrupp Materials Korea

The decision to join Don Lee a few months ago, was the turning point of my English development. Unlike all other methods I used to learn English in the past, Don Lee's strategy to maximize English learning was unprecedented in how customized and collaborative it was designed specifically for me. I was no longer sustaining my English. I could feel I was developing.Specifically, reading about diverse subjects in the Harvard Business Review articles were educational for me professionally as the discussion with my coach about them were exhilarating for me personally.No longer do I get exposure to random new vocabularies. I am guided to specific vocabularies that I feel I would find great use for. My coach helps me to visualize the vocabularies I learn and personalize my understanding to them by encouraging me to articulate sentences with them.For the many business executives and directors out there, that have strong desire and need to improve their English but have not been fruitful yet, I highly recommend you to consider Don Lee.

CEO, Cosmo & Company

As a non-native English speaker, English is always big burden at work place, regardless working at foreign companies or Korean companies. I strongly recommend Don Lee's English coaching program. The biggest reason for my recommendation is Don's team is very well organized and customized for all clients. However, I don't think Don Lee's program is not only for improving English, but it is more for English coaching. For me, I learned how to develop business strategies, communication skills and detail action plans from Don's team. Those who want to learn not only English but also business capabilities, I urge you should join Don's English coaching program immediately.

The classes I've took was one of the kind for business uses. I've done so many 1:1 English classes before, but I've never experienced improvement on business speaking. However, their classes are different with other classes. First, it is customized on the clients, so clients can specifically improve on their needs. Second, the coaches are from where clients work field, so they can actually learn the sentences, words and knowledge from the field. Third, all the classes are very well organized. For example, you can repeatably practice word, vocabulary, sentences, etc. through whole class. Highly recommend Don Lee's classes if you want to improve your business English!

Head of Commercial, Allianz Trade Korea

If you are looking for a special English program to take you to the next level, Don is the best person who can make it happen!

Senior Engineer, SK Telecom

During the last few years, I've experienced various English skill-up programs. Some of them were somewhat helpful, but most programs were of little use. This is because the tutors of these programs would predominantly focus on pre-defined schedules and contents; there was hardly any room for spontaneity. All the former tutors seemed to be only interested in following a curriculum from an English learning textbook. This made it very difficult for the tutor and I to perfectly engage in each others’ conversations and be completely present at the moment together.On the other hand, my coach at Don Lee & Co has constantly motivated me to talk about my true stories, my values, and my life. He digs deep with me within me. He encourages deeper understanding of myself and empowers me to constantly confess it in English with close attention to word choices, flow, and storytelling.I am sure that this program will not only improve my English skills but also enhance my communication skills in diverse aspects. It is no doubt that this program is the best English skill-up program I've ever experienced.

Professional Coach, ICF ACC

HR Director, Becton Dickinson & Company

Don's English coaching program is definitely recommended for those who are interested in not only improving English capability but also enhancing multinational culture. Based upon my experience, I was able to obtain wide range of skill-sets; addressing key language points, useful phrases, strategies and even social dynamics.I could say that Don's program is differentiated from other service providers in his proactive interaction with the client and his professional coaches who deliver great sessions.
