Sam is a friendly teacher and he let me know which words I should work harder on them. Thanks.

I booked a trial lesson for my 9-year-old son. Sam seems very good in dealing with children. They talked about daily routine and interests. He corrected patiently, writing down also the corrections. My child already understands well English, but I think that Sam would do very good with beginners too, because he's speak clearly and express himself with gestures. Thank you!
