Thank you for your wonderful lesson and listening to me patiently as always! I enjoyed talking to you as usual. I will try to get out of my comfort zone using the new words and expressions you taught me. Look forward to seeing you soon:)

Very solid academic background. He has provided many valuable suggestions for my PhD interview. A good teacher for conducting mock interviews.

For the first time I see a teacher who is so involved in the process. Despite his initial introverted appearance, Pierre is an excellent English teacher. It quickly became clear that Pierre is friendly and approachable, and also incredibly motivating and inspiring. Pierre's teaching style is superb. He is patient, and his explanations are clear. He is always willing to go the extra mile to help you understand a word or concept. I would recommend to anyone, regardless of their English level. He is not only engaging and friendly, but also extremely professional and dedicated to his students' improvement. Pierre, you do a great job, keep teaching, please.

In every class, he even didn’t need any other teaching props, both of us were fully involved in the classes. We discussed a wide range of topics such as history, teaching, life, culture, etc. I truly recommended my teacher to be your provisional English teacher.
