It's been a while since our last class and I missed this amazing learning experience very much. Mark was super helpful as usual and helped me to figure out what I should prepare for the job interview and which part that I missed. He guided me to answer the interview questions in a better way and helped me improve effectively. Thank you and I look forward to having our next class soon.

I like the way you conduct the conversation! And the fact that you are also a learner of another language makes it easier to share ideas!
