The Bigger Picture
Oliver, I want you to really hear this: Your fluency is already impressive. Your reading is strong. Your speaking is natural. Your curiosity is infectious. This grammar work isn't about starting from zero—it's about filling in the specific gaps that will take you from "very good" to "absolutely exceptional."
You're not climbing a mountain. You're polishing a diamond. And the shine is already there.
Keep bringing that energy, that focus, that beautiful spirit to every lesson.
Because that's what's going to take you to C1—not just the grammar, but the person you are.
I'm genuinely proud of you, Oliver. And I'm genuinely excited about what's coming next.
Let's keep shining! 🌟
Best regards,
Johan

We had an interesting lesson during which we exchanged opinions on the nature of inflation, how to garner public support for a ruler, and whether a nation gets the government it deserves.

I truly love every single one of your classes with all my heart. The fun classroom activities you design, along with your patient guidance, always make learning English easy and enjoyable. That’s why I dare to ask questions and share my ideas boldly in class, and I never feel nervous at all.
