I was looking to prepare the TOEFL exam, specially the speaking part, and I couldn’t had better luck on finding Eric. He is an awesome teacher, knows a lot about how to properly answer the questions for the test, will give you a lot of useful tips, and is going to encourage you to improve your English skills. Actually I improve my scores from 92 points to 103 in just three lessons, so I’m pretty sure he may help you out

Eric is the best teacher that I ever had. Without his help would be impossible to pass on the CELPIP test. His classes are very good and hard. These reasons make him the best teacher that I met so far.
