I have been having classes with Oliver since October, 2017. It was a pleasure to meet him. I am trying to improve my English and I am very pleased with our classes so far. His lessons are always well prepared and he usually takes notes of my mistakes during our conversation, giving his feedback and suggestions for next lesson at the end. He is helping me a lot with my pronunciation and I thank him for his patience. He is also able to speak other languages and this can be helpful in some situations. I highly recommend him to everyone who wants to learn or improve English.
