Good first lesson. It was relaxing and nice to chat with Hermon. The exchange was natural as if I was talking with a friend. He gave me enough space to express myself fully so, nothing else to say than thank you Hermon for this very appreciable exchange.

Es un profesor que desde el minuto uno es muy cercano por lo que hace que la clase sea muy cómoda, y por supuesto aprender inglés de una forma divertida, que es al final, lo bonito de una lengua.

Teacher Hermon is very professional and patient, and taught me many practical phrases. He is good at using examples from life, which made me immerse myself in the way of thinking in English unconsciously.
