I had a real lot of lessons with Matthew. I can say for sure that he is a great teacher and a very interesting and fun interlocutor. He is the one who will break your language barrier. Saying from all my heart, I am waiting every meeting with a joy. Matthew is a very patient, careful and is talented in a game of words guessing.
You will be able to work on your mistakes, grammar, pronunciation. Matthew is meeting your individual requirements, desires.
PS How many mistakes have I done, Matthew?:)

Excellent! I’m very grateful to have found such a great teacher. I’m always struggling with active vocabulary and fluency, and I think he’ll help me a lot with both of those. Thank you Matthew
