Ben is a very nice teacher. He is patient, detail oriented and fun. He prepared well for the class and during the class, he created a document for me with all the materials we were learning and talking about. I have enjoyed the class with him.

Ben is a great teacher and I always enjoy our lessons despite finding language learning very difficult. He is very patient and also has a way of describing things that makes them much easier to understand. Dutch is a hard language but Ben makes is much more accessible and fun. Dankjewel!
