  • I’ve learnt a lot from Adam S., including presentation skills, small talk skills, grammar, idioms and so on. He is an excellent teacher who is always patient in teaching and talking to me. We often discuss diverse topics and news during our lessons, such as habits and how UK people reacted to the change of the throne. Therefore, if anyone wants to learn English, I will recommend Adam to them. Also, Adam, thank you as always!
