David Calia, Trainer in Guangdong China:

“On October 5th 2011, myself and my collegues from Go-Go English Educational Consulting Company were invited to take Jolly Phonics to a housing development event in Guangzhou city, Guangdong China.

It was a fantastic opportunity to speak with many people about education, our company and Jolly Phonics, and we had a great time teaching a whole bunch of kids! We made some great contacts and were able to inform many parents about the importance of teaching English phonics to children.”
