Brian is an excellent teacher and business coach. I highly recommend his lessons for people who seek English improvement, personal development and career building. Brian helps me to gain confidence, speak English fluently and shares his deep knowledge of business and corporate culture. Brian has prepared me effectively to important interview in my carrier. I am definitely going to continue our lessons.

Brian is a fantastic life mentor! He is experienced, kind, warm-hearted, and provides support for any difficulties you may face in life. I met Brian during one of the most self-doubting and depressing moments of my life, and he helped me create life plans to find direction step by step. He also offered health and fitness advice to boost my energy. Additionally, he provided great insights into resume adjustments and conducted mock interviews with me. Thank you, Brian, for your invaluable guidance!
