Ramon sensei, was my Japanese language teacher in HKIED
back in 2008. I enjoyed his lessons and indulged in his
passion for teaching, as well as all my classmates. He is ever-
energetic in all lessons, he adopted fun teaching and learning
approaches to keep us motivated in learning Japanese
language, as he understands students needs well because
learning foreign language is not an easy task. This is the
reasons why I still can remember him till today. His passions
in teaching always in my mind. Having a great teacher like
him, desired by every student, he is my role model for my
teaching career.

Ramon was the event coordinator at the Hong Kong
Institute of Education where I spent the spring of 2009. Of
all the wonderful people I met during my time there,
Ramon was one of the most hospitable. He not only guided
and encouraged the exchange students in exploring Hong
Kong, but involved us in the greater international
community. Moreover, he took the time and effort to
connect to every one of us on a personal level, and years
later I still consider him a friend. Over the course of my all
too brief stay, Ramon's warm and positive attitude helped
make Hong Kong into a second home.

I took Japanese with Ramon-sensei in fall 2010. It was a fun
class that I looked forward to every Friday afternoon. I liked
Ramon's teaching style because he always tried to stay in the
target language, but to make sure we understood, he would
speak slowly and write the Romanization of the words on the
board. He knew that a lot of us could read Chinese, so he
would use that to his advantage by writing out kanji
sometimes. Ramon is a great teacher who is very aware of
the needs of his student population.

I really enjoyed Ramon's class. His classroom atmosphere made it
easy as well as fun to learn. Even though I had already been
studying English for some time and living in Monterey for 6
months, I still felt that there was much to learn from Ramon's class.
During his classes, there were a lot of interactions between him and
the students, and he also encouraged the students to interact with
each other as well. I felt that his methods really encouraged me to
use my English proactively.

Ramon was my English teacher during 9 weeks. I took his
TOEFL class during this time and I really learned a lot from
him. He is very interesting in helping his students all the
time, and spends a lot of time teaching us and reading our
essays . His teaching methods are amazing, specially in
writing. He gives us very useful tips and encourage us to do
it better and try harder. Besides all this he is an excellent
person. Ramon you are the best!

Ramon was my teacher for the TOEFL class in the summer
of 2012. He is an outstanding teacher, with the great talent
to be entertaining as well as highly informative. I absolutely
enjoyed visiting his classes and I had a lot of fun while
learning something new every lesson.
Ramon always has a smile on his face and he has the rare
ability to make a good and pleasant atmosphere in the
classroom. Most important, he did a great job preparing us
for our exams and really cares about his students and their
specific needs.

I studied in San Francisco in summer of 2012 for two months.
As a matter of fact, I didn’t really make an improvement by
leaps and bounds in those two months, but it was the most
impressive period that I learned how to study English in a
right and easy way. And all of that, I am truly grateful to
Ramon, who is my respectful and easy-going teacher in these
important months, and what he had taught us made a great
influence on me. Atmosphere, teaching quality, interaction,
and so on, are absolutely perfect in Ramon’s class. I bet
anyone who had the chance to take Ramon’s class would love
this amazing place. Consequently, he made me keep a cordial
attitude to English, and I feel more and more confidence and
achievement after Ramon’s teaching.

I have had the pleasure of having Ramon Mislang as a teacher in
preparation for the TOEFL test. He is one of those teachers who is
determined to improve the students skills and makes it an aim to
raise the bar for everyone around him.
Ramon is hard working and always willing to help you. He is the
kind of teacher who gets involved in a way, so you as a student
know how to improve your weaknesses. For instance, his feedback
to your assignments is always very comprehensive and you get a
personalized response every time.
Furthermore, he is well prepared for classes and he often involves
other than the usual educational material. To illustrate, if the
existing educational material does not provide clear enough
information, he uses his own material to better the understanding
among the students.

I lived in San Francisco last year to improve my English skills and
met Ramon in his class. I remember that I have heard about a lot of
his good reputations from other students before I took his class.
Therefore, I was interested in taking his class. As the reputations, I
came to like his class as soon as I took his class even once. Then, I
kept taking his class for about a half year. He did not only taught in
his class, but also hung out with us outside of the class. For
example, we often went to lunch and occasionally dinner. Also, he
gave us many opportunities that we speak English more than other
teachers. Thus, he usually tried to stimulate me to practice English
more. Thanks to his kind attitudes, I could keep making effort.
11. What I really want to say is his class was really fascinating! I mean
it! He was always well prepared and always tried to make class
interesting. He made the atmosphere more friendly and comfortable
especially, he showed friendship to his student. When his student
time to go back, then he tried to give them nice memories. Moreover
he always displays big passion! The best thing of him is, we are
connected like a close friend. So, when I was in his class, I would
study with him more efficiently! I wish he could be in Korea for
teaching English to Korean students! Then I bet, Koreans who have
a passion to learn English will improve through his teaching skills
which are with his passion! I was really honored that I had all his
classes and also have been keeping in touch with the best teacher
ever! I must be lucky! He is respected by students. I look forward to
getting his class in Korea! Hell yeah!!!
