Lessons with Chris are always both enjoyable and educational. We usually follow the materials, and they often turn into natural conversations, which really helps me learn new vocabulary on different topics. Chris always gives me feedback by suggesting how I could rephrase a sentence or offering useful synonyms I can use. All of this makes the lessons as productive as possible for me.
