  1. I took this programme recently, in February, and to be honest it was much helpful. I felt underprepared in terms of strategies, especially the reading part, and the sessions paid great benefits. Then, I highly recommend the intensive sessions, filled with practice, test strategies, test practice and on point explanations. Robert is highly-prepared and professional, so hopefully you could take one of his programmes before you sit the exam.

  2. I have just finished my programme with Robert and it has been great. He is kind, smart and shares excellent strategies for your exam. His level of proffesionallism is outstanding. I took a group programme, but I ended up being alone, so he had no problem in adjusting the lessons according to my needs. I highly recommend taking the course with Robert if you want to be better prepared for the exam.
