Brian is an excellent teacher and business coach. I highly recommend his lessons for people who seek English improvement, personal development and career building. Brian helps me to gain confidence, speak English fluently and shares his deep knowledge of business and corporate culture. Brian has prepared me effectively to important interview in my carrier. I am definitely going to continue our lessons.

Brian was helping me go through potential interview questions and give me suggestions. I liked the rhythm we had during the class. It was one of the best classes I've ever had on Italki.
