Bruno对于教授面试课程非常有经验，他针对我的面试职位，帮我挖掘了很多有用的信息，准备了大量我没想到的面试问题，上课过程非常高效。他帮我分析“老外”的面试思维和问题，以及如何推进下一个环节的面试。在他的帮助下，我成功拿到了心仪的offer。如果你要准备一个英文面试，找他就对了。虽然行业不同，但是面试的基础逻辑万变不离其宗，Bruno也会有针对性的搜索一些信息和我分享，而不仅仅是在面试问题上教你怎么用英文回答，这才是课程的价值。以及一个tip是，相信Bruno，把你能获得和想到的信息尽可能与他分享，这样他可以更有针对性的帮助你。Good luck！

After 45 lessons with Bruno, I really enjoy the progress we have made in my English together. Now I can give a presentation and chair a meeting very smoothly at work and chat confidently with new foreign friends for a long time. As a great listener, Bruno always encourages me to speak a lot and he is so energetic. Thanks Bruno for guiding me to this milestone!
