One of the most common questions parents ask us:
How good are Ivy teachers?
Where are they from?
What is their teaching experience?
What kind of people are they?
What education concepts do they use to teach children?
Do they enjoy each day in Ivy Schools?
Are they able to share their happiness with children?
……
The fact is, we care a lot about what the parents think and feel.
Today, we have brought together 8 Ivy teachers to ask them questions on behalf of Ivy parents.
