All lessons are great. Andrew also has a lot of topics to choose for the conversation. That helps me feel more comfortable talking in English about a range variety of topics, including those I am not really familiar with. Couldn't have been better, 5/5

My teacher taught me to write better in ielts and also have fun, funny, good communication skills. Try to use simple words to describe. Try to incorporate grammar into your writing. I felt fully enlightened for 60 minutes.
