I have been learning English with Richard since summer and I feel a huge progress.
First, I forgot about my language barrier. I used to get nervous when I was speaking in English. But now I am comfortable to speak in English and completly forgot about this feeling.
Second, this is my grammar skills. My favorite thing is that we often discuss how British and American people use this rule in common life. The big news was that native speakers do mistakes :)
3rd, I increased my vocabulary and I often use new learned phrases and words in a conversation.
In the end I would like to add that Richard is friendly, supportive and at the same time always controls your learning process doesn't give you to decrease your requirements.
Thank you.

Richard, thank you 🙏🏻 You gave me very useful strategies for speaking. It is that thing that I’ve always been thinking about but couldn’t formulate and organize it. I’m really glad that I chose you as a teacher.
