I have no words to describe Louis. He fulfils everything that Italki proposes in the review. He is professional, reliable, organised, expert, always punctual and motivating.
And I have only had 1 lesson with him!!
I would like to prepare for Business English and I have definitely found my perfect teacher.
Thanks, see you on monday! ^_^
