He made an effort to have fun with my child. He started with a lesson to plan future instruction with my child and the quiz to determine her level was easy for my child but enjoyable. He has plenty of materials for the lessons and I think he will make good use of them, so I recommend the lessons. I would like to do the lessons regularly if she can, and I look forward to the future.
