Hello, Keith! Thank you so much for the very useful videos! I'm getting better every day because of you. Wish you good luck!
Keith I'm your fan from kerala, India... These idioms are really indispensable for every scholars who are preparing for IELTS... Thank you so much for these breathtaking idiomatic expressions❤️
Keith is a cut above the rest online English instructors. I always love your way in teaching people to be better every day.
Mr. Keith, your training materials are superb and without a shadow of a doubt are the best out there. I managed to score an 8777 this past May. Thank you for what you do! You are an angel! 😇😇😇😇😇
I found it very enjoyable to listen to Keith’s talk about learning English. His topical British accent, articulate explanations and humours way of teaching are very inspirational.
I also consider his videos as the best video for learner
Thankful to Mr. Keith that I got an 8 in speaking. There is no other lecturer who is as more enthusiastic and fun than he is. How he makes everything seems so easy to understand and remember. God bless you always and more power to you.
Did you watch his videos or attended his course?

This morning I got my IELTS result. In speaking I got 7 which was my desired score. It's all because of your videos Keith, thank you so much❤️
I want to practice speaking with you.Will you connect with me..?

@@lynnlin5199 hello, have you given your IELTS?
I want to practice speaking ...any one help me
Hi Keith! I’m thankful in your videos that greatly help me in my IELTS journey.
There are many good teacher, but they : -are not a patch on Mr Keith -can't hold a candle to Mr Keith
so kind!
Couldn't agree more! They might be good, but you can take it or leave it, and Keith is the bees knees!🤩
Keith, thank you....
So true!💯 Mr Keith is hands down the best teacher there is on yt.
People are smart 👏👏👏
Hi Keith. I followed your content regularly before my IELTS exam. Thanks to you, I passed the speaking part with flying colours. I got an 8 band overall with 7.5 in speaking. Your tips were really helpful. Thanks.
Mr. Keith is hands down the best. No other KZheadr can hold a candle to you. Thank You
Thank you very much indeed Mr Kieth for helping us improving our English with these very interesting idioms .
As always, you nailed it, Keith. I've got my desire IELTS score about a year ago, but still I love to watch your videos and improve my English communication.
Great to see still see you here Vishaal

@@sayamqazi lol
Great teacher!
I have never seen any video like that on KZhead to be perfectly honest with. You talked about what everybody was getting aspired for. I found it extremely useful and a pattern of the words is super fantastic and intriguing.
The person stimulating me to improve English is none other than Mr Keith. He is second to none indeed, I appreciate all his lessons 🔥🔥
I absolutely agree with you that learning a list of idiom without context is useless ,learning them one at a time is much more effective ! Thanks a lot for your videos ,I love them!
Thank you again, Keith. You made English seems to be easy. Best wishes to you from Zaragoza, Spain
I appreciate all the lessons you have been giving to us
hi Mr keith I am so proud to watch you explaining and teaching us how to progress our selves in speaking english without fear or panic to make mistakes iam from lebanon my english language i thing good but i like to progress my english language so thank you very much
Mr.keith, you are just such an amazing person .... your teaching policy is so charming and also we can catch it spontaneously...big thanks of you
Dear Mr. Keith. You are the best example for all language teachers of the world. It's the bees knees. Any one can simply understand things you teach. I bless you long life.
Thanks Keith. Used your tips mentioned in this video. Surely it helped me. Got an overall Band 8.
I'm not preparing for IELTS but i have been following your videos for quite some time. I love english and literature. It's really nice when I engage and participate with you in the videos, its becomes more interesting. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you Keith, you are hands down the best speaking teacher. Sometimes I cannot make a head or tail of how to deliver my speaking for IELTS but just by watching you explain it in a way that cut above the rest, everything becomes so clear and easy. There is none other than a good teacher so now I don't have to say "I can't get my head around it" anymore. To my way of thinking, practice makes perfect, so I will make some example below although mine is just run-of-the-mild thought. Well, let't talk about my birthday. I am on the fence about whether or not we should have a party on that day. On one hand, I would like to memorise the date of my birth while on the other hand, having a party is not my cup of tea. As for gifts, I don't really mind, I can take it or leave it. When I was young, my parents were my second to none, they gave me toys and dreamed presents, which were my bees knees. Nowadays when I have enough money to pay for whatever I want, I feel it is not a patch on what I have given when I was young. A new cell phone can't hold a candle to a doll.
you cant say there is none other than a good teacher!
Too many idioms, only if you're not teaching us the usage of these idioms. If this is the case, then you've done an excellent job. 👌 ⚠️: You can not use bees knees for plural things. Edited: I'm sorry, you already mentioned that you were giving examples.
@@erikagt She said that she was making examples. Read 9th & 10th lines in her paragraph.
Great job 💯 this will help in remembering all expression simultaneously
my take on this, the idiom ''bees knees'' is use as singular. I can't get my head around it.🤔🤔🤔🤔
Keith, i wanna say you that you are such a great teacher as well as knowledgable person who has bunch of information regarding ielts speaking even i have become a huge fan of your teaching style which is very excellent than others
Thank you so much
Thank you Sir Keith. You have given me a really motivation and it is my part to pull up my shocks to attain a good score in ielts with your insightful support. I'm pampered. God bless you.
Nice to see you motivated

It can't hold a candle to the very first Marvel film.(to not be as good as the person or thing mentioned)
You are like a student who make best notes in class.
"Once in a blue moon "is another idiomatic expression that you used while explaining about "the bees knees". Excellent teaching. Once in a blue moon we get an opportunity to listen to such great teachers on You Tube. Thank you Keith
Once in a Blue Moon means rarely.. Not to show about ur likes
In fact, in Italy we say "ogni morte di Papa" (very rarely).
Keith your videos are really amazing and inspiring they are helping me a lot in my speaking
Love your teaching style, amazing!
This video is absolutely what i need. Thanks, Keith
