Dan is an excellent teacher, who at the very beginning recognised my learning needs. Even in the trail lesson he helped me a lot. During the lesson he made notes, which are very useful in the learning process, because it is possible to get back on it any time. For sure it is not the first time when I had a lesson this Dan.

The trial lesson with Dan fully met my expectations. Dan immediately understood what my study goals are. He is a patient teacher and communicates clearly.
