Each class is well-prepared, and Leif always brings plenty of interesting materials. He uses various effective teaching methods to help me to achieve good learning outcome, and he is very patient.
Lief has great attention to detail as well. He can take notes of all the mistakes I make (even in a conversation) and help me to correct them before the end of each class.
With Lief's help, I am making good progress on my English study. I highly recommend him to all English learners.
Good choice!!!
