Robert is an excellent teacher. He helped me improve my English during almost 10 months, for my current exchange. He is well-prepared, very friendly, calm and our classes always were interesting and useful. Besides this, my capacity of listening and courage to talk in English with another people improved after our classes. Thanks Robert for everything.
