Geoffrey is very knowledgeable and a very good communicator, on top of being generally helpful and easy-going. In my first lesson with him, he already already taught me more than I had hoped for and shared valuable advice. Scheduling and preparation were smooth and easy and Geoffrey was well-prepared for the things I wanted to discuss in session.
Very informative course, thank you very much
