Linna's review of my TOEFL classes - 
Richard's guidance was essential to help me achieve my professional goal. I had only five weeks to take the TOEFL test and my score needed to be 100 or more to be admitted in an LLM (Master of Laws) program at the University of Houston, in the USA. I contacted Richard and he accepted the challenge immediately, providing me with the best prep material, tips, and strategies. He had encouraged me many times and was always extremely open to reading my essays, simulating oral tests, and working on my weaknesses. He even helped me to write my Personal Statement - an important part of the application process to the University. Thank you so much, Richard, I don't have words to truly express my appreciation to your professionalism and competence!.
