After each lesson with Ian you feel like you've been to a session with a psychologist. He always supports and encourages. In his lessons you feel calm as if you're talking to your best friend. His professionalism is worth mentioning separately, he explains complex things in simple terms.

Dankie vir die les, Ian. Ek is baie stadig besig om die taal te bemeester en die gesprek was baie interessant. Ek kon vandag baie verstaan, maar het 'n gebrek aan baie woordeskat. Om 'n resep te probeer verduidelik was 'n uitdaging. Ek sien uit na die volgende les.
