If you're looking for a teacher who creates a great atmosphere, is attentive, patient, and can basically read your mind when you keep forgetting words – Ariel is the one!
He has knowledge on literally every topic (seriously – every one!) and explains things in a clear, friendly way. Highly recommended!
