    Jim is very nice, chill, humorous yet also insightful and knowledgeable. I like how he lets me speak as much as he can and talks about the topics that I'm interested in. His wealth of experience makes every conversation flow effortlessly and I can always learn something from his unique and refreshing perspectives. The session was fun and inspiring, highly recommend for those who want to level up English speaking skills.
  • Since I first saw Professor Jim’s profile, I thought it was very interesting. He has a lot of teaching experience, and that makes his classes very helpful. He has a list of good questions, but he is also flexible and we can talk about other topics too. In his classes, I don’t just learn English, I also learn about different things. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. The time I book with him always feels too short because the conversation is so interesting that I want to keep talking.
