I have been studying at NCC for the last two years taking ESL classes. I've never had a problem with anything until this last semester fall 2015. Unfortunately I choose the class without knowing the teacher. Pronunciation class was the worse English class I've ever taken so far. The way the teacher Mr Edward Tynes used to teach was very confusing and questionable. I am from a different country and I have been in the US for three years now, obviously I have accent and obviously I am taking English classes to improve it not to get rid of my accent because that would be impossible, but to learn how to get the closest I can from right English. Mr Tynes would be very clear and very impatient on his words telling that if we students in this situation, immigrants, don't talk as him an American person we are wrong and he would humiliate us in class. Everyone was very quiet in his class probably scared of his comments infront of everybody. After a week of class I lost interest because any world I would say he would spend more than ten minutes trying to make me speak just like him and I didn't want that to happen anymore, I didn't want to take ten minutes from the class for the teacher very impatient teach me how to speak as him what of course wouldn't happen because naturally I have accent, and that wasn't just with me, it was with the whole class, when he wasn't criticizing the way we speak, he was saying annoying things but teaching. He also doesn't have a very good way to decide grades, for this class doesn't matter how good you are, he will give you any grade as he wants, he would give you an F just because he doesn't like you. The only thing I learned the whole semester in his class is that Americans will stop listening to me if i don't speak as an American person.
