I had 3 speaking sessions with Dave and I would say that all of it were enjoyable. During the first session he had some technical issues with his camera but he extended the lesson to make up for the lost time. He gave me tips on some vocabularies that were more appropriate to use in a sentence! Happy to share that I got a C1 score for IELTS speaking!
