We had a terrific chat with each others during these lessons! I think Mr Robert is a extremely nice person that we have talked about our life experiences and some funny things! During our conversation, Mr Robert always finds some of my mistakes in my speaking and he always some suitable expression for me to help express my ideas💡 It’s great to chat with Mr Robert and I have learnt a lot during these several lessons🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️

Real human review! No AI. I can strongly recommend Robert to anyone, personally he's the best teacher I ever had. The conversations are always so bright and vivid. Also I appreciate that Robert asks you a lot of questions and gives you the possibility to answer them and learn in this active way.
