I took this course and I improved my English and understood the strategies for C1. Today I sat the exam and I feel confident I will do well. It was my pleasure to learn and study with you Robert, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis course helped me understand the different components and exercises in the exam, and how to approach them. Robert is a highly experienced teacher who knows and shares strategies in order to succeed. I really appreciate his support and constant feedback.
ReplyDeleteHighly recommended.
ReplyDeleteI can't still believe that I was just 5 points away from obtaining a C2 certificate. I am attaching the Statement of Results so you can have a look. I cannot be more thankful for your support and every single piece of advice you gave us in each session.
