I am very glad that I booked English lessons with Jaco. He is very friendly, always cheerful, patient, and truly a good English teacher. At first, I was a bit unsure whether it was the right choice to hire an English teacher who only speaks English and no German. But Jaco has shown that it is absolutely possible and thus I have booked more hours with him. Highly recommended.
