Chris has been one of the best teachers I’ve worked with online — kind, patient, and incredibly friendly. I genuinely enjoyed every conversation we had. We focused a lot on IELTS Speaking, and in my last attempt, I got an 8.5. I truly believe that practicing with Chris helped me become more confident in both my speaking and overall communication skills. It also made me aware of some recurring mistakes I hadn’t noticed before.
Thank you, Chris, for being such a wonderful teacher and person!
