Chris is an experienced teacher. He spent time to understand my demand in first class so he is able to deliver the suitable lessons for me.
He will correct pronunciation/grammar and provide extra vocabulary during the conversation. Also, he takes notes for you to review after class.
If you are finding a teacher to improve your English, Chris won't let down.
