If you are looking for a professional, reliable, supportive, and caring teacher who can guide you through the IELTS exam, Patrick is undoubtedly the best teacher out there! From the very beginning, Patrick's expertise and experience in IELTS preparation were evident as he quickly identified my weaknesses in "writing" and tailored his guidance to address them effectively. Moreover, he generously shared some useful sources with me to practice, which greatly enhanced my preparation. Thank you :)

A very good teacher! Serious in class but not scary. He pointed out my problems accurately, encouraged and guided me to talk more, gave me examples, provided ideas and made plans for future class.

During the class, we discussed my writing works, strengths and weaknesses. Patrick's feedback was insightful and very helpful, illustrated with his own examples, which was particularly useful. Thank you so much!
