I feel so lucky to have had Jamie as my speaking teacher. He always made me feel comfortable and confident when practicing, even when I made mistakes.
His feedback was clear, encouraging, and really helped me improve. Thanks for Jamie’s patience and for always creating a positive learning atmosphere!
