我从去年开始和Bryan上课，每次课体验都很棒。去年我开始读法学院，和本科的经历特别不一样，因为教授会在上课的时候直接点名学生回答一连串很难的问题。最开始的时候我真的很紧张，但是接着我开始了和Bryan的练习。我会向他讲解法律的概念和案例，然后他会向教授一样问我问题。我们也会模拟口头辩论，等到实际辩论的时候我就做得很好。今年夏天他还帮助我准备了明年暑假实习工作的面试。我们一起头脑风暴、练习和模拟面试，他也给了我很多有用的建议，最后我顺利拿到了offer。除此以外，我的英语在整体上也通过不断的练习得到了进步。最重要的是，Bryan是一个非常包容、思想开明的人。他乐意和学生讨论任何事情，并且从不带有任何批判性。接下来我会继续和他上课，我也把他推荐给任何想要完成特定的作业或者任务、准备工作面试、或者只是想提高口语的人。
