He is a great teacher. He messaged me even before the trial lesson to know more about my goals, so we had a very productive mock interview. He provided guidance on how to make good points. He asked great questions and gave me tips/corrections/follow ups especially for vague answers :) Thank you

Just from the trial lesson, I could already tell that John is really experienced in teaching and knows how to communicate well with non-native speakers. John is also really culturally aware, which helps a lot. When it comes to interview prep, John guides you to think in a strategic and logical way and points out the most important areas to work on. There was also a super clear and helpful demonstration of how to actually do it.
