擁有12間分校、在台31年的英文補習班老闆很榮幸能培養三代學生，真心奉獻台灣: One of Taiwan's most successful foreign English teachers 

Rick就是我30年前的英文啟蒙老師！ 遇見他之前我讀過何X仁、長X鹿，但程度始終停留在How are you！直到他，才讓我的英文有十足的進步。 因為課堂上只會有一位精通雙語的英文教師，使我不再有閃躲的機會，讓我必須學著擁抱英文！ 而每週兩天，每次兩小時的聽說練習，加上隨機問答的方式，提升我們的聽力與口說，讓我們習慣於英語對話的環境。課後也會跟他聚聚會，打打球，拉近彼此的距離！使我們不再畏懼與外國人對話，讓我勇於獨自出國旅行！ 而與外國人的互動，想不到也影響了我的下一代，五年前，我帶著家人踏上家庭第一次美國之旅，當時中班的小女兒看著我好幾次用英文自然的與外國人交談後。在一次的午餐，她鼓起勇氣跟我說：爸爸，我想要跟服務生拿一張衛生紙，請問我要怎麼用英文說？當時我的心裡滿是悸動，給了她一句May I have a tissue? 看著她開心的帶著姊姊跑過去找服務生，並得意的拿到一張餐巾紙回來，當下我那個興奮之情難以言喻！而小女兒至今仍記憶猶新，時不時還會很得意的跟我炫耀！ 給Rick教導，是我爸媽對我最划算的投資，課程結束後，我不需再花任何時間去英文補習班，就這樣讓我一路受用到大學，我有比別人多的時間加強其他課業。 因此我沒有跟多數家長一樣，讓我的女兒們讀雙語幼稚園，因為我認為只有ACES才可以提供最有效的英文學習，因此3年前，大女兒即使已經在小學學習1年多的英文，我仍堅持帶著她們兩個來到ACES從頭開始學英文！ 現在看著她們敢試著用簡單的英文與ABC的表哥對談，她們也不排斥看英文版的電影時，讓我一直深信到ACES學英文是個正確的決定！ 說來好玩有一天我在想，要跟Rick開個玩笑，跟他說華人有一句諺語叫一日為師，終生為父，所以他也算我的父親，而我女兒要叫我爸爸，Grandpa，所以她們看到他是不是要叫他Grand teacher，但我還沒機會跟他說，想不到半年前的聚會，他就跟別人介紹我女兒們是他的Grand students！哈！

Mr. Rick 真是一位優秀又愛台灣的美籍老師，政府要推行2030年雙語教育，應該採納他的意見。👍👍👍

Mr. Rick 應該當教育部推動全民雙語的全權負責人

Rick是很棒的英文老師！ 因為他的教學～奠定了女兒良好的英文能力！ 女兒是大直ACES第一屆的學生～是女兒最喜歡的課程！

我現在29歲，以前就是在他開的英文補習班上學，我很開心原來他還在台灣致力於英文教育，看到他還健康活躍真的開心！ Hello Rick! I am one of your students back in 2004. My class teacher is Adam Golt btw. It is great to see you being active and healthy at the moment. I remember there’s one time you drove me home after you took us to watch the Spider-Man movie. Thank you for the English teaching system you and your partners have created. I am now abroad using proper English and improving on myself. Tape recording and talking to myself really did help somewhat😂

Wow！佳賓在台灣還是戒嚴時期就來了，全程見証台灣民主化的過程，以及台灣社會的劇烈變化，加上他的創業經驗，可以寫一本書了。 非常感謝他對台灣英語教育的貢獻和進言，希望有權力者多方咨詢這些長期致力英語教育人士，畢竟他們最能看到中文講者學英文的盲點。

非常感謝Mr.Rick，感謝他對台灣的英文教育無私的奉獻，我們家的兩個孩子目前都在Aces東湖就讀，優秀認真的師資，台灣的英文教育，如果可以由他來掌握，那一定是所有孩子的幸福！我要感謝所有在Aces的老師，謝謝你們留在我們身邊，給予我們最正確的英文教育！敬佩Mr.Rick！👍🫡

來賓非常真誠的個性很合台灣人的觀念

感謝這些外國老師在補足台灣英文教育的不足！👍

Rick! 好驚訝看到他所以點進來看影片! 小兒就是在ACES從小一讀到小六，然後沒有再額外加補習什麼的，就在升國一的暑假取得全民英檢中級證書。英語聽力、口語更是強項…真的很感謝ACES! 雖然知名度完全無法跟連鎖補習班比，但卻能給孩子打下扎實的英文底子！看到樓上有人說會做惡夢又要被罰錄音，我大笑😂好懷念陪孩子去上課的那段時光啊！

謝謝你們為台灣的付出

！我是念ACES出來的學生，小學的時候去念，雖然過程很痛苦很高壓，但是非常感謝這個教育機構，讓我長大後一直享受到英文很好的優勢。ACES的教育可以讓小孩的聽說讀寫完全進化成幾乎像母語人士一樣流利:)

Rick!! 天啊 我10歲就去ACES補習 現在都25了🥹

能從擁有豐富教學經驗的老師身上,聽到對英語教育的真實想法,真的很棒

二個女兒就是在Rick的英文補習班上課，效果不錯👍連帶陪讀的家長英文也進步了

I would like to give a BIG SHOUTOUT to Rick and ACES! I am one of the OG students from the Donghu branch, where I started learning English over 20 years ago. It's incredible to think about how far I've come since then. I am turning 30 this year! Back in the day, Max was a first-year teacher and my class teacher at ACES. And Rick was Max's mentor, who supervised his teaching every week in the classroom during our lessons. So basically, we had one lesson with Max and the other with Rick weekly during my first year at ACES. Looking back, it's clear that Rick was an awesome teacher himself without a doubt, and what was even better is that he did an amazing job guiding and demonstrating his teaching skills to Max to become a fantastic teacher. ACES has an incredible English education system that's authentic yet localized. They teach English to local kids in a way just like how North American parents/teachers instruct their kids to pick up their native tongue. Students at ACES learn vowels, pronunciation, sentence structure, tenses, and grammar rules within an efficient and organized module. Most essentially, all teachers at ACES speak Mandarin so they do understand Taiwanese students' struggles when learning a second language. I truly believe that this system is the key to helping Taiwan become a bilingual society. I'll never forget how ACES helped me on my English learning journey. And I'm even proud to say that I worked as an English language educator in Taiwan for almost 7 years. Now, I'm the marketing director of an international design media platform, and I owe much of my success to the foundation that ACES helped me build. Thank you, ACES, and thank you, Rick!

謝謝您對台灣的奉獻

台灣越來越自由開放🎉🎉

Thank you, Rick. I was one of your students in Donghu, first in your class and then in Max’s class. You inspired me to keep learning the language, and I eventually became an English teacher myself. I even started a RU-vid channel teaching English, which now has almost half a million subscribers. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Taiwan.

我的孩子國小時期也在ACES學英文，我的很多當父母的朋友及他們的孩子都同意，ACES的課程絕對是國小上眾多課外課程最值得的之一 ACES有幾個分部和許多老師，但他們卻可以有一個標準化的教法與內容，非常佩服他們的精準與專業 我的孩子今年在會考也如期在英文得到全部正確的成績，非常感謝ACES

新加坡花了近30年，完成全英語教育，從師資的培養，現有年輕教師的英語教學訓練，還有中年以上華語教學的老師要等讓他們都退休等，循序漸進，才有現在的成果。台灣2030年要完成雙語，只能說政治人物的支票，不切實際！

聽到沒有我們的政府，這才是台灣成為雙語國家在教育上真正懂怎麼做的人才！😊

把grand students翻成學孫也太精準了吧 超好笑😂😂😂

😊這句話說的很好，更了解語言錯在那！值得敬佩的好老師！

I’m an English teacher and also a parent of ACES. I truly inspired by Rick’s teaching philosophy . So I only chose ACES to be my son’s cram school and he did make big progress after attending the class.

謝謝Aces！謝謝 Rick！孩子在Aces東湖上課，正規三，她的英文進步非常多，謝謝你們的用心和付出！

I was one of the students from ACES like loooooooooong time ago like 10 years ago. My teachers was Max from 汐止. I gotta tell yall ACES is the best cram school in Taiwan. All the teachers they're vey strict and patient. They would encourage and when you made a mistake. i think罰錄 is one of the best lol. I was from regular class and graduated from advance class. Those memoies n hard works are very valuable for me. I love ACES and be proud MAX.

兩個小孩在ACES上課！ 真心有感小孩英文程度的進步！ 感謝ACES❤

還是有很多老外對台灣的付出！很感動

Rick是我小時候的老師！！以前在民生社區那邊補英文的！！

Great interview. Rick France is an amazing guy. I worked for him for 7 years. It was the most rewarding time of my career. Miss you Rick!

這個影片有洋蔥😭 讓我想到小時候的英文補習班，也有許多外籍老師，感謝陳老師和其他老師，讓我現在出國玩耍可以用英文溝通無障礙😂

Oh my god, Rick! Bumping into my former teacher here is such a crazy coincidence!😂 I don't know if he remembers me, I'm the girl whose father tore her homework and was called into the office and cried about it XD! I went to ACES after an all-English kindergarten through elementary school till early junior high. Back then it helped me coast through English classes and I had no idea how much of an impact it had on my life. A few (quite a few) years later I was working in London and now heading to NY. I've been asked if I was native many times and I think ACES contributed tremendously to that. How quaint to see Rick still teaching and barely even aged.🤣

謝謝老師對台灣的貢獻。

Rick was my sister’s English teacher at Modawei English school. After Rick established ACES, my sister and I both studied English there. Now, I’m an elementary school English teacher. Can’t agree more with the dilemma Rick mentioned in the video. The government should pay more attention and fund to the starting point (kindergarten, elementary school) of English learning. If not, Bilingual 2030 will be just another castle in the air.

首席的英文補習班老師❤ 🎉 辛苦了 台灣人在早年就這麼慷慨照顧這位老師

呵呵,很有趣的經歷,希望這份善緣能一直持續下去! 祝, 學安 :)

謝謝你們❤

真的很特別又生動!的親身經歷台灣31年來的過程

感 謝你對雙語教育的想法~也說出了實際教學的問題~3Q

I totally agree with Rick's opinions of English education in Taiwan. His thoughts are practical, useful and farsighted.

Teddy 滿喜歡你的影片，想建議每部片結束前可以多留幾秒片尾，情緒上比較不會錯愕，哈

感動的故事❤

認同從小開始學語言較好😂😂

謝謝英文老師.

Aces is really a wonderful school

這集訪談很棒

Aces is an amazing school. People should be sending their kids there.

如果時間能倒轉，我一定會好好讀書學好英文！

It’s a wonderful thing. I did a similar thing in Taichung 20 years ago. It took 10 minutes to take a foreign friend who couldn’t find his way to Taichung Railway Station~😅you are a great teacher👍👏💪

我不認識Rick， 但從這個訪談， 發覺他是個很棒的人，也是一個很棒的老師， 我會宣傳他的補習班， 相信小孩在他的補習班會快樂的學會英語

看到這影片無限感慨，謝謝Rick對台灣的付出，也謝謝您的誠實，台灣英語30年來真的還是原地踏步，更諷刺的是2030的要完成的雙語計畫；想起曾經遇到一位對台語有著深度見解跟教學的長者，有著非常完整的教學經驗，但無奈的是，教育部只看的起他們認可的教授或是教育相關學者，卻仍然不懂這些在第一線實際工作者的寶貴之處，真的懇切希望Rick能有機會參與教編的機會。

Mr. Rick 英文講的很清楚，速度適中，應該是很棒的老師。

Rick is cool! Thanks for your amazing contribution to English education in Taiwan.

very touching interview film.🥰

謝謝對於台灣英語教育的付出。

很棒的分享，對於政策的看法也很棒🎉

謝謝！

totally agree rick about he says the right time we should give kids right pronunciation. this suggestion should be adopted.

好棒的一集！好棒的老師！

Hey Teddy, glad that you filmed and uploaded this video with Mr Rick. His experience of living and working in Taiwan should be written and probably as autobiography published too!

很棒的訪談，Rick 對台灣有很多的貢獻

說的好。

很感動，感謝你的付出，祝你身體健康，永遠喜樂平安✝️

thank you for sharing these precious teaching experience and sorting out a lot of problems!

美國白人和女人一樣 永遠有養活自己的最後一招 不論如何 真羨慕

I went to ACES, it’s really amazing. It’s the reason why I got into Harvard

Such a great video❤

滿有趣的老師，有故事的人，生活是精彩的。

這位老師點出了雙語教育的最大問題，就是資源放在錯的地方！ 不把資源全力投入在最基礎的教育上，反倒是放在高等教育，永遠都沒辦法讓整個社會成為雙語的環境

Thanks you all love Taiwan

超幽默，讓我笑翻了，也很感動…

One thing, I admire my German English teacher is that he knew we don't have enough English resources early time in Taiwan environment, so he would say, relax, just speak, don't afraid to make mistakes and feel free to ask questions. And that really helps me a lot.

Really enjoyed listening to Rick's stories. So inspiring! :)

Thank you , Rick. You're a decent and beautiful person and teacher. It's such a blessing for Taiwan to have you here.

來31年了 哇靠~

我非常認同Mr. Rick 對英語教學的看法。

好生動!太棒了! 說得太好，幼稚園應該要有英文老師才對~~

他不止是一位英語教育工作者，他更是知道台灣英文教育的問題所在！他帶領孩子們運動，他現在還是持續在上課，如果可以，台灣的教育部應該採納他的意見和想法！

認同從國小四年級，學校開始全面教課書

感覺很溫馨

好優秀的老師❤

很高興再次RU-vid看見你 祝你好運

謝謝rick

Very beautiful story ❤

開放家長進班陪讀是堆動英文很重要也很有的方法

台灣應該要開放，英語母語的外國人教幼稚園，年紀越大越學得慢，真的應該要像新加坡一樣！

Wonderful story!

好棒的老師

希望更多外國人來臺灣長住，將臺灣推向國際，讓台灣未來更美好！！

這老師支体語言非常好老師

I looked his web site, he is a decent person and doing all the right things possible for this land.

我家小孩也是上ACES 3年, 英文基礎非常好, 但MIKE老師太凶了, 到現在還有陰影...

謝謝你！

I totally agree with Rick.

My Respect Mr. Rick .

Great Interview of a great guy! :)

Wow! We miss you and Bob

感謝你對台灣的付出 台灣政府因該要送給你一份大禮才對”身份證“...

古代中國人不是貴族無法受到教育... 一般人民都是文盲 ...但是 有一個人「 孔子」...把教育給予平民... 「 孔子」由於理念超群 ...被後代 尊為 「 聖人」...這是平民最早的老師 於是...中國人對於老師這職業 充滿 敬意..... -
